"I've got photos of a 14.5" Model 8."
No pix, no happen!!

No dog in the hunt - got a headsup email, from a guy who has real authentic 25Rem!! http://www.armslist.com/posts/1164362/cleveland-ohio-ammo-for-sale--super-rare-western--25-remington-117-grain-sp He was not interested in my $1/rd offer... which he shouldn't have been! Best I could do for just mayb...

I agree with Roger, the Williams and the similar Redfield to be much more accurate and user friendly then the tang sites.

BTW where did you find 6th grader zombie targets? Or are you just using your fellow member pictures?

No weapon pictures son!? Whoa... do we band him now or give him a second chance? (The school teacher gig had him on shaky ground, now this begging for time thing!)

No turning back now, you headed down the prim-Remington8/81-path.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, glad you are here (more or less

that might apply to a lot of us if we were to admit it.

)

We'll enjoy what you can contribute and you enjoy that 30, let us know how it shoots and don't forget the pictures. (See Joe, I'm not too far gone.)

Just came across this - no dog in the hunt and I don't reload (yet!)
http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthread ... ost7455441

I'm working on the "feel sorry for you" idea... Nah, ain't gonna happen - with your great find!!

BTW welcome to the forum, enjoy shooting that .30.

On the other hand... unfortunately, our Senator - received today. Dianne Feinstein United States Senator from California http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/ Dear Mr. Silvers : Thank you for contacting me to share your opposition to assault weapons legislation. I respect your opinion on this impo...

Indeed, a newbie and jumping right in with pictures - may your tribe increase! My first was just one short of my birth year, a 1948 300Savage, very memorable day as it was also my first gun purchase, just over 5 yrs ago. Unlike those in the free states I understand your need (hoping) to find 300Sava...

Greetings and welcome, always good to have another member from behind enemy lines.

VERY fine, I like. If you are interested in doing this for others let us know.

1930 Model 8 30Rem http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =329347251

Tell me one of you guys are on this? I sure don't need another 30Rem but this one sounds so good plus an original with ammo!
(I just sold a rifle and those funds are dying to get out of my pocket...

)

IMO since staying "original" is not the intent (practical) and based on everything else you will be doing, jeweled bolt would indeed look great - can't wait to see the pixs when you are done.

Back story's are very cool indeed! Be great to get more info on it's use and history too.

Refinished or not, fine looking FN - I'm officially jealous. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

I agree with seller, looks like a fine old shooter. So far, the best price I've seen in a year or so.... I'm even tempted - like I need another 35!

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =328048708

Most of us have ended up with a parts rifles or two, especially when we first started. I'm no expert or gunsmith but I think you are OK. The receivers were basically the same. The barrel and springs inside the tube/shroud around the barrel were different smaller for the 25, 30, and 32 and larger for...

These seem authentic...

Agree Jerry, this dog doesn't hunt... seems a bit low for sheet, unless he is shooting the dog?

I certainly hope your new "setting" includes something better then that red seat!

Mighty nice 25Rem - I sure wouldn't hide her in the back of the safe.

Will be waiting to hear what you think of her when she arrives and of course how she shoots, plus the obligatory pictures.........

"Now just to convince the wife that this was great."
Let's know how that works for you.

Thanks, Clint a pretty one for sure. And, mighty proud of it, he is! Did I count correctly 184 pictures? Perhaps that is how he arrived at his price.

Cam, clear a spot on the back 40, I'm putting a hitch on this place and heading down!

That's great Cam, gotta love TX.

Postings fixed Jerry. Great job on getting this around. Thanks

Indeed, I (and Clint) have no dog in the hunt but... I may know the seller! Near where I was raised - have two nephews and an ex-bil living in that "metropolis". (Last time I was there, they didn't even have a gas station/market!) Selling ammo at that price probably makes a house payment. ...

Very cool. You are getting there, got the R now add an E...

A reasonable question and thought... "...so you remove the screw that has a little sling swivel shaped handle that holds the fore end to the barrel for the take down feature and replace that screw with one that has a large sling swivel shape that then serves as both the take down screw and the ...

That's what I'm talking about... thanks, that will help when I get there.

"...made a TOOL to safely remove the detent..."

OK you two - as they say, "this thread is usless without pictures!"

Indeed, great post Jerry.

Even the huge cold DC memorial moved a teenager in '67 and then again a geezer in '09. The more I read about what my Dad (Army) and the thousands of other did over there for this country, the more it hurts - what our people/leaders are taking for granted.

I was on the otherside of the airstrip in the control tower 67-72... loved the Blue Angels in the F4s.

It sold 12.22.12 Did see couple more this week (not redheads) but they didn't last an hour. I have had issues trying to sign in on the Fire from time to time, recommend shutting down your confuser-doing a restart and/or resetting your ISP (shutting down your modem for few minutes), but probably if y...

I like! Will be watching to know how it shoot - POA vs. POI, etc.
Great job on the pixs. Some things are more of a irritation then others as we get older.

Not mine, don't kow the poster: 24hrCF 35Rem: http://24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ub ... ost7290181

Along those lines, I have some I could part with - rather expensive and big for my paper punching.

Oops, I guess I forgot this part. I found much to my surprise, that the A5 barrel(s) that I have, do not cross over for use on the Savage or Rem 11. Good luck at your show, it appears they are trying to make those extinct as well.

Nice shooter, 3" out of these is real good! :D Disease remedy: plenty of rest in front of the confuser viewing gun-porn. OK... not a remedy but plenty fun, what looking for that 35, then the 32, 30, 25, and of course there are the 14, 141, 11, A5, and don't forget the 51 - you better keep kicki...

I have an 11 for HD - found that by far, the cheapest short barrel for it was a Savage. Seems folks are rather proud of their 11 barrels. YMMV

Think you might benefit by doing a search on here regarding 14 and 141's, here is one good thread (there are several others) http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3085 And I highly recommend this guy and his book: http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/books/Remingt...

Very cool. Is that also the knife JD used?

Indeed welcome. As to the screw block inside the jacket, don't know how they were fastened on but they do come off (got a couple that did, have not had the problem with others) highly recommend putting the screws back in. I have not found the screws to be long enough to get bumped by anything inside.

I'll keep you in mind if I come across another.

Welcome and don't stop on the back stories, indeed we love to hear about them.

Thanks for clearing that up. I did notice your listing on GB this morning and wondered why it was also on Armslist. We all very much appreciate the heads up and the effort you are making to have this scum-bag stopped.

Believe you would find Ken Blauch book on The Classic Remington 14 of help. His opening information: ...the 14 was first introduced in 1912, chambered in the 25Rem, 30Rem and 32Rem, but chambering in the 35Rem and large calibers was expected early in 1913. In a January 1913 meeting, they decided to ...

Indeed. And the old dies show up every once in a while on FleaBay, etc. if a guy is not in a hurry.

Me too! Very cool

Rats, knew I should have held on to those 32Rems. a year or so ago got a deal on a few boxes by buying them all - sent them down the road a few weeks back to a couple of collectors. Wish I had more, I'd sure share them.

You HAVE been busy - they look real good!!
(Glad you are saving your great work for later.
