update, problem solved. i went to my loading room and trimmed the brass a little mare and that did the trick. i can still see where the lead engages into the lands but not enough to cause any resistance when the bolt is pulled back to extract the round. it shoots perfectly to. thanks for the help.

olskool

thanks norm, you can see the rifling marks on the cast and jackets. the problem is the bullet profile. that is a thought on reducing the size of front of the driving band of the cast bullet. i use a star lube sizer that pushes the bullet through from the rear, i don't know how to reduce just the fro...

rodger i tried that it didn't help.

i have been fighting bullet profile in my 35 mod. 8 for a wile. i like cast so i got a rcbs 180gr. flat nose for a 35 lever gun. the bullet profile is shaped so that the the bullet engages into the rifling and you cant pull the bolt open. so i got another mold, a lyman 208gr round nose. it dose the ...

olskool

that's great, i hope yall keep up the fight. remember you have not lost until you stop fighting.

olskool

i get all mine right here

olskool

what would be cool is to see it in color. i think i know who this man was, if it is who i am thinking of. i saw a story on the net told from his grandson. the man with the guns name was martin. he was born in another country, if it is the same man. his model 8 was a 25 cal. if i can find the story i...

olskool

i think i have one marked like this also, i will look at it this evening when i get home. it is marked with the 25-36 cal.

olskool

you are correct sir it is your gun and your bussiness, if you want to throw it in the river that's fine, this is america and i support your right to do so. but people have the right to there opinion on an open forum, so don't get upset when you post photos of a stock that has been ruined at least on...

olskool

live and learn, 30 years ago i would have probably done the same thing. if you don't know, you don't know.

olskool

here is my 1908 25-36 it has the standard cheeks.

olskool

i have never saw cheeks like those. i don't think the king sight hurts, if anything it helps, they are correct for the time period of the gun and you can always find a standard model 8 sight. that looks like a nice first year gun.

olskool

cam i would have ran over that deer with my truck if i had to!

that's a nice buck.

olskool

to get oil out of wood i strip the old varnish with wood stripper, then i get a wash tub and use hot water, real hot but be able to put my hand in it but not able to leave it in it. then i use oxy-clean and scrub the wood in the hot water. all the oil will come out.

olskool

this is one i just picked up. it is a 35 model 8 made in 1933 it has a redfield flip up rear sight and a lyman tang with dual apeture, i added both sights. i set it up this way so it will be easy to hunt with. i zeroed it in with the rear sight at 50 yards and next i zero it in at 100 yards with the...

olskool

olskool

olskool

i need the screws for this little redfield sight, anyone have some to sell or know where i could get them?

olskool

olskool

olskool

very nice, who recut it?

olskool

very nice!

olskool

there is another use for a socket, my 25 cal. 8 had a couple of heavy dents in the jacket. i stripped the jacket down and used a 16mm 3/8 drive snap-on impact socket on a long socket extension, and slid it down the barrel. i had to evenly and very lightly grind with a wizz wheel the black off of the...

olskool

it sure is collectable, any obsolete ammo is. i have a 32 model 8 that i load for but when i find factory ammo i hold on to it. i have one box of factory remington.

olskool

olskool

olskool

olskool

olskool

sorry for the giant previous photo, here is the sight i want to trade.

olskool

olskool

i have a model 8/81 lyman tang sight in great condition with screw i would trade for a semi buckhorn sight in same condition. if there is any interest please let me know and i will send a photo.

olskool

very nice packmule, but i know you don't have time to shoot all those spring poles, so send some to me here in sc and i will put them to good use on hogs, and deer and such.

olskool

yep i also use 30-30 dies in 30 rem. i like the look of the real tung oil with a little tru-oil. i sand very little if any. that is the reason i use a semi-matte blue so it won't like a perfectly new finish.
