Sign me up too... where do I send a m8 30Rem to get it "fixed"?

(Pretty sure I'd burn H2O trying to get it to boil.)

Gotta love it - DR for sure. (Makes me nervous just watching him.)

That looks awful good to me... definitely minute of deer!

LIKE!

And on top all of that... now I'm getting hungry and the cook is out of town for the week!! Cam, you sure are a pain.

Down to 700. think he is a bit high. Guess he'll find out when he goes to GB... as he is threatening. Never understood how/why that was an incentive for someone to buy from a seller? - Not like he (they) are giving us a great brother-n-law deal.

Yup, I'm blaming Cam too!! Just plain mean to bring up "another one" and send us off checking it out. As an aside... a highly respected old (cantankerous) local butcher mixes a bit of domestic pig with the wild hog - don't know his ratio. I haven't had the opportunity to tried it but his c...

Very cool. Great pixs.

Indeed...

like the numbers thing too.

Indeed our resident experts do a great job on current value..., still the Blue Book can be entertaining.

I do like the originals but got a few refurbs and one on the way like'm too.

Recommend you keep it but if you want to part with it I'd be listen'n... might even give you a touch more then your investment too.

Dang, I'd have been sorely tempted. What was he asking?

Do love those "pitures".

After 43yrs, I am rather fond of my better half but one does need to be realistic... there are a lot more wives then m8s... just say'n.

Poor feller needs to wash his keyboard, seems the "0" is stuck down!

Agree with Phyrbird - need to water proof the keyboard (or use the wife's laptop).

Another GREAT one Jack, you keep out-doing yourself.

Posted for Sighthound* - (His comments) Purchased from GB, came out of Reno/Sparks area, cheap because of stock, replaced it, extension lengthened stock by 5/8", cheek piece a plastic wood filler, butt plate standard Remington bottom tang. Jerry Stock 3 (2) 60.jpg Jerry Stock 2 (2) 65.jpg Jerry...

Very cool. And, good work on making the pictures work.

Great. Thanks for the pictures.

Indeed, had forgot about that one... still very strange.

Almost too pretty! Hope they take her to the party anyway.

Well done.

Did you say PICTURES? Ain't no thread complete without pictures... Granpa, Great Ganpa, Dad, you...? Anyone with the gun? (Yup, I'm the guy they talk about "don't mention pix around him, he won't let you off the hook till you post some.") As to hunting, never been myself either... sure wou...

P.S. "Frankengun" came from IMFUNCITY, I think he is the owner of the original "Franken 8". Not sure if I started it... but my the Franken 8 has gone down the road, so what out it's likely still making the gunshow rounds. My second "Frankengun" is pictured in the *****...

stu_2, welcome aboard. You are getting the right stuff from these restoring vets. Couple of thoughts: These rifles were state of the art back when but they were only intended as minute-of-deer - great fun to shoot and reliable straight shooters but they never did put three inside a quarter at 100yds...

Indeed, learning new stuff all the time. Welcome aboard... thanks for the detective work.

Indeed. But, I'm patient...

I won't start watching for the UPS box for Christmas, I'll wait 'til next May.

Jack, I am officially up for adoption.

...May 1949, when I drew my first breath!!

(green with envy!)

Great find Jack.

S & S I've been that guy... the one that put it back, then watched it walk away with someone else when I turned back to get it.

...Learned sumpt'n I did.

Anyone looking for a winter project... this lady need needs some TLC for sure.

My "unique" knobbie, 1910 32Rem... I'm a sucker for arm-candy (and it did look good in the GB auction a few years ago).

After I received it, the gun shop/seller and I came to an understanding... I still like it, fits me well.

Thanks for posting that... tempting even. But, think I'd still reach over the top, what I'm use to for safety, bolts, etc.

... at least Happy Birthday FearLessLeader, and thanks for keeping this ship upright.

Wery, wery interesting. Thanks DWalt

Welcome to the craziness. Great snag... well worth the risk IMHO. (BTW as someone has repeatedly said, this thread is useless without pictures!!

)

Might almost be worth getting cable to watch.... Nah, TV will mess it up and you guys will will be in. (Haven't watched TV since 9/11 no sense starting now.)

Really like that butt plate!

Shame on you Jack

this should never have left CA... it should be in my gun room!!!

(Or, congrats on another great fine.)

Sharp eyes, Roger. Even so... I was tempted! Also hope someone here got it, it was gone within an hour after I posted!

Terrible pictures but looks like a good buy on a 25Rem... probably needs some TLC http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =367634646

"I think the only thing lacking with this rifle of Jack's is a RANGE REPORT

"

Shooting it... with Jack properly (age correct) attired!!

Way-cool indeed. Thanks for sharing it.

A friend (who is no longer with us) made me a special tool that worked on all of mine (20+ over the years) - if it helps any it was based on the 1900 tool. But... I am aware of two model 8 barrels that never did come apart, and one of those I personally was involved with... basically destroyed my ne...

10# !!!

That cannon needs wheels!!

It's hard to get past the guns on top of B&C's car. There is no reasonable explanation for these guns being anything other than the ambush posse's guns. Other law enforcement officers, not involved in the ambush, would not place their firearms up there. I mean Clyde is still in the car with his...

Indeed, look great.

Would there be any interest in a new old stock reproduction??

I'm trying to get the local Mennonites to make some for us. Been working on it for almost a year.

If I haven't said it before... anything comes from this idea I'd be interested.

You seem to have the wherewithal to make things happen... you might look at 30-30 brass. Not that I'm a reloader (Shhhhh, Joe.) but a lot of folks have found them readily available and fairly easy to convert to 25Rem, 30Rem or 32Rem. For what it's worth, couple times a year I do see old correct head...
