Pcunningham......No preapproval for photos...good taste of course....... View my reply re ammo on your other post ...second Mod 81 today

Sarge756

Pcunningham.........If you are going to sell the 300 brass it would seem likely that you are not a reloader.....If that is the case 30 Rem loaded ammo is available at Buffaloarms.com ,Price on 5 boxes or more is $35 a box.25 Rem is listed also, for $29.80 5 boxes or more but is on backorder. You sho...

Sarge756

Welcome! It appears you are well along with your shared addiction to Humpbacks. Shooting the 25 or 30 Remington will require reloading or purchase from a supplier of reloaded obsolete ammo.Cruising the gunshows and classifieds on forums and sites like Gunbroker will sometimes turn up boxes of origin...

Dewalt....I second Imfuncity with a ditto. Look forward to the exchange of information on the 11`s and A 5`s. Joe

Sarge756

Dewalt...Thanks! That`s a complete description of the process. Looks like a `Northeaster`coming with wind and rain all weekend.Great chance for me to spend some time at the reload bench and try this out. The whirrrr of the Dremel hard at work. I sold my Mod 70 target rifle and a converted Mauser so ...

Sarge756

You made a good decision. I`m sure you can get the Lyman in shape. The Marbles left me behind and went for $162 plus shipping. There`ll be another...... Joe

Sarge756

If we are looking at the same auction on fleabay it doesn`t appear that the R6 has a windage adjustment.The R6 and Lyman 1A are almost identical in construction.I have seen a stem that has lateral (windage) adjustment but believe it was made by Marlin.Don`t know if that stem would be interchangeable...

Sarge756

Cam, Now we are getting somewhere. What a neat setup and no holes drilled to do it. Identification of the scope will be difficult. Using the photo to aproximate, it looks like a 20 inch tube of 3/4 inch diameter.This could be any number of scopes made during the early 1900`s. The end caps don`t look...

Sarge756

Dewalt, You answered as I would have.Ditto.Other than a possible marring of the finish from the glue no harm is done.Holes are there forever.I just finished repairing a 99 Savage that had four misaligned holes for a scope mount.After the filing ,polishing and rebluing a little discoloration from glu...

Sarge756

Dewalt,Thanks for the information on the AR 4305.From your experience and the information at the Ellsworth site it looks like this is worth looking into. The cost is about the same as the cyanopoxy kit so I plan to order some. One kit was $14.00 but they have a $50 minimum on web orders.Guess I will...

Sarge756

Jerry,Thanks for the approval on the glue solution.I agree that using modern materials as a kink is the way to go. I have an 1885 Winchester 22 short with a bad bore. Have considered getting a liner from Brownells, using their accraglas method for the liner and chambering it in 22LR. Did you do the ...

Sarge756

That is an interesting pattern.Nice figure and stain in the wood.Love that Remington Red. I`ll add this one to the file of checkering pattens.Thanks for the closeup photo.
Joe

Sarge756

Dewalt e-gunparts Numrich has them for 25,30 and 32 Rem for $6.20.Sold out of 300Sav and 35 Rem. Just wondering what the difference would be.Smaller hole? Anyone know? If so would think it could be opened up with a dremel to fit.

Sarge756

The photo is of a Winchester mod 03 22 Win Auto cal. and a Winchester 63 22 LR cal. Each of them has a period correct scope mounted without drilling holes. A marriage of mounts from Stith and Weaver are used. The 03 has a Weaver 29S scope with a 3/4 Stith tube for the front and a Weaver "B"...

Sarge756

Excuse the photo size of the Ross rifle.At least the detail can be seen. The scope is a Lyman Alaskan in a modified Stith mount.The front mount is a 7/8 Stith tube with a rear mount made from a cutdown Redfield base and Redfield 7/8 ring. The rear base is attached to a filler piece that is dovetaile...

Sarge756

Jack, The description of the mounts you gave should be a 7/8 inch mount for the Alaskan.The one inch mount is possible for a Texan.Norman Ford made a "Texan" model with a one inch tube. I think old Norman was pretty good at copying what was successful in the market. His one inch tube model...

Sarge756

I went back and read your post .Good description.Think you are correct it is worth a try.I`m sure you will let us know how it works.

Sarge756

Congradulations on the new acquisition.Hope it cleans up and shoots well. I see 300 Sav brass on one of the other forums I`m on .Some on there now 54 pieces once fired for $14 shipped.If interested let me know. If you do the conversion with 308 and it works I`d be interested in how you did it.Have a...

Sarge756

http://rvbprecision.com/shooting/rossi-1892-winchester-take-down-conversion.html With the recent posts of neat ideas to keep us busy such as rebarreling a Mod 8 to 7.62x39, I thought the membership would appreciate this idea. One of the features I like about our 8`s and 81`s is the takedown design.I...

Sarge756

Thanks for the additional re gasport.You realize you have started what we all live for "the quest for the part that is hard to come by". E-gunparts is sold out and a search at other sites are also negative.E-gunparts is currently without power due to the hurricane and can`t put it on wish ...

Sarge756

As if I didn`t have enough projects on the bench now, along comes this great one. Have a couple cases of 7.62x39 that was purchased during the Clinton panic time. The entertainment with the SKS`s is done, was considering selling it off. Here is another way to go and really enjoy shooting that ammo u...

Sarge756

The Roy Weatherby influence rears it`s ugly head. I`m just amazed it didn`t have the signature piano high gloss plasticized finish.Considering the replacement stock would run about $400 and a proper buttplate $25-$45. Think I`ll send him an offer of $225 and let him keep his beautiful stock. He can ...

Sarge756

I agree the spammers are adding garbage to the site. Good job on getting it cleaned off here in a short time in the past. I belong to a few other forums also that require some extra steps during the registration process.The Ross rifle administrator adds another step to the process.His solution to th...

Sarge756

Cam, thanks for posting the photos of the checkering.I`ll add them to the file for patterns for upcoming projects.I have a straight and round knob to do soon. Can`t wait to see the additional photos coming with the discussion on the different grades. Joe

Sarge756

Jack, Thanks, the link didn`t copy completely from original post from JONBEGOOD. It is still there and it works ,just tried it. To those interested go to "members" look up JONBEGOOD`s post and click on it. Joe

Sarge756

Found this and thought it might help somebody http://www.flickr.com/photos/buster_cha ... 42/detail/ Glad to have you here.The above info was posted by JONBEGOOD last year.It has been a big help to me and I am sure others.This site has detailed photos of a complete takedown which is what you need to...

Sarge756

Welcome Nemo! Glad you are not still lurking. I second Jack`s ideas. When considering a rebore the cost is a factor but also what will be gained? If it is not a step up in range or power then I wouldn`t be for it. As much as I love the 35`s a 300Sav to 35Rem is not a step up. I had a rebore done on ...

Sarge756

Jack, I`ll be on the look out for you but am wondering why your friend wants a V22 ? The V22 was a Rimfire scope and has a very short eyerelief. In addition to it being questionable as to standing up to the significant recoil of our beloved 8/81`s (Lots of plastic parts in the scope) I know I would ...

Sarge756

Jack, These come up fairly often on Fleabay.Wish I had known of your need earlier I sold the last one I had a few months ago.Have a friend that is bringing me a pile of old Weavers next week and there may be a V22 among them.I`ll keep an eye out for a nice one and let you know. Joe

Sarge756

Thanks for the post and contact details. Will do. Joe

Sarge756

Cam, Thanks for posting the photos.My vote was cast for the checkering.These additional photos and hopefully the ones coming will help with the layout I discussed with you awhile back.. Joe

Sarge756

Imfuncity Thanks for the Gun Digest website. It brought to mind one of the offshoots from the A5/Mod 11 the "Widowmaker' the 1911 Winchester.The video of it being fired and the evident heavy recoil is something I have first hand knowledge of. I bought one of them several years back just to say ...

Sarge756

Good choice Clint. The 20ga 1100 is a joy to shoot with that soft recoil.It is my choice when running a day of sporting clays. Just remember there probably would have never been a 1100 if the A5`s and 11`s hadn`t been made.The progression in the design from recoil to gas operation took many years an...

Sarge756

I agree with you that an original striper clip for $40 bucks plus is high but it seems to be what the traffic will bear.As far as need, I doubt if pressed any of us could come up with a "need" for 99% of the firearms we own or will buy in the future. I passed that mark long ago with a dece...

Sarge756

When you pull it apart I suspect you will find a broken or badly worn bolt carrier lock.Hopefully that is it as they are available through e-gunparts (Numrich) for less than $10. Refer to the excellent link of the takedown of the receiver that was posted by Jonbegood on this site. You can refer to t...

Sarge756

Imfuncity, Glad you asked as it is time for me to update.I have an older version of Gunsafe and after a search of (gun collection software) see that some better options are available. I am going to download this one at:nmCollector.net .This one was appealing as it is a free for unlimited time versus...

Sarge756

Jerry, Well you sure got things stirred up.Saw you were there for awhile and then it began to zoom up.It passed my limit early on. One has to wonder if the dealer had a clue what was in his hands when he listed it on GB. I agree somewhat with not taking too big of an advantage of someone and can app...

Sarge756

Going Going and Gone. $12,500. With the 15 minute rule it looked like it was going to go on all night. Interesting as we figured it would be.

Sarge756

Welcome! I hope you have room in your safe, cause when you get started it is just like eating peanuts.One is not going to be enough. Joe

Sarge756

Jerry,
It`s been almost a month since your post on the takedown screw that wouldn`t budge.Can you give us an update on your progress? Joe

Sarge756

Jerry,Thanks for the the heads up on the Fleabay auction .I was in the running but it passed my limit and went for $162 + shipping. Probably not that bad considering it had an original wood box marked Cutts and an original wrench.Detractor was the duplication of one tube size and a tube missing. Thi...

Sarge756

Imfuncity......Closeups of the 99 Shortrifle stock. I`ve done a bit of checkering so have a critical eye when viewing another`s work.The checkering has perfect lines and is pointed up evenly throughout the panels.It appears a simple pattern on the grip at first glance but it takes a skilled hand to ...

Sarge756

Well, as we say down south that Linder 12 bore is" some purdee piece of shootin gun".I went through a few of mine to post some photos.This one would be the all around gun for anything that walks or flys.It is an Imman Meffert combo two barrel set built on a Merkel action. 16ga overunder an...

Sarge756

Imfuncity......Yep I`m with you with the family that thinks I talk about guns too much.Is there really anything else to talk about? Religion and politics are out cause that will just turn into an argument.So why not have a pleasant conversation about the historical aspects of all those great guns th...

Sarge756

Clint, Good are Bad for a polychoke was answered well by the previous replies. They are just darned ugly .It is a shame that some mighty fine guns have been butchered by what was considered at the time an innovative and useful invention. That being said of the add on chokes that you will come across...

Sarge756

Thanks Clint!!! You started this subject and perked my interest for another 11 or A5. Didn`t have to wait long to scratch the itch as I bought an A5 listed on another forum`s free classifieds at a reasonable price.This one is an "American Browning". Made by Remington for FN while the nasty...

Sarge756

Wayno, I invite you to review the previous posts on reloading for the 8/81 .Not knowing your experience with reloading other than you saying "zero experience with powder charges" I suggest you start like most of us did at square one.Get a good reloading manual such as the NRA Reloading man...

Sarge756

Jerry, If you have only"applied" penetrating oil it indeed might not be reaching into the threads. I would buy enough "Kroil" (the oil that creeps) to emerse the receiver and barrel.To avoid having to buy gallons of the stuff (It is a little pricey) you can be inventive with the ...

Sarge756

Outstanding job on the takedown procedure videos. Will look forward to the assembly video to follow. Thanks Bob, for taking the time to put these together. Joe

Sarge756

Mike, You have come to the right place to learn about your new aquisition. It is good that it passed to someone that will appreciate it. Seems a shame that a Grandson would not be interested in his Grandads gun.That is the world today I guess. Regardless, we are glad to have you and would love seein...
