Okay, I probably should have done this earlier. Was in a Kentucky Gunshow when my brother dragged me half way across the hall. He'd found a setup with lots of JMB Remingtons. This one was a beauty. In one of my favorite calibers 35 Remington. Nice wood, better than normal blueing. All I had was trad...

Speaking of magazines, is there anyone with a scruffy, dimensionally correct POE magazine I could use for a pattern? Seems this group could use a source of quality supply of these for shooters. At 1K a pop that's a lot to be cycling and popping in and out of a action. We could try to work up somethi...

Very NIce

May I suggest Cheri', Not Shari. It seems to fit the European Mystique.
After all she goes past pretty to innocent beauty.

NaBaker, I've done some digging and checked velocities for standard 35 Rem cartridges. You should check out this site: http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp They list the following: 220 GR. SPR FN -- Hodgdon H4895 --33.0g .358dia -- 2.470"OAL 1848fps 29,000 CUP || 36.3g --2010fps 33,600 CU...

Issue turned into a not-issue. all is well

81Police, I'll try to get back to you this eve, maybe tomorrow. Side note: I pretty sure Wolfe collectables is a fine upstanding guy. We've got along just fine, perhaps we don't always agree :o , but without different people we wouldn't have the opportunity to collect M8 & 81s. The rest are too ...

Phyrbird

81Police,

Is it appropriate to quote one of our suppliers on their behavior on an auction?

Phyrbird

This is knarly, I suggest a pro gunsmith. You still have live rounds in the magazine, right? Use caution push/pulling on the bolt handle I've seen some that are broke in the groove in the bolt carrier. This is most likely from allowing the bolt to slam forward with the barrel removed. However it doe...

Welcome to our midst. This is a nice place. We look forward to pics if you can...

Phyrbird

Are there any of the forum that have an Model 81 (early '38 with pistol grip & checkering) with a grip cap? I'd really appreciate if you could send me or PM me some photos. Those here on the site just show side views, I need some bottom and angled photos please. I'm trying to correct a blooper w...

Phyrbird

Very good to see an honest restoration, my complements. Side note: my research indicates the 25-35 Rem and the 30-30 Rem may have been Remington's attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the already known cartridges. My research says 25-35 Rem is 25 Rem; 30-30 Rem is 30 Rem. I have one of the rif...

Patience is a virtue, Oh Grand and Mighty ImFunCity

(As I've told my daughter many times) I've got some new ones. And just discovered a SLR.

When the HoneyDoo slacks off I'll have more pics.

Anyone drool over other JMB humpback products?

Phyrbird

Nice meeting you

Look at the photos closely; it's a Stith mount.
Read the description carefully the mount is priced extra

If you want it bad enough Goodluck...

Phyrbird

This sight requires drill and tap of the receiver. but the Mdl 8-81 is not flat sided. Is there a spacer under this sight base?
Could some of the owners post some pics of the mounting?
a link to Pics already on the site?

Phyrbird

Learn something new every day, 308 sizes to 300Sav

Any dimensional differences? Is there much trimming?

Hi, I've been lurking, leaving tips, and chatting with some of the members. Hopefully these will be some interesting Pics: I think I've gone from Jackitis to needing a barn for this stable :lol: The Stable: P1000853.JPG The 32R with mag: P1000851.JPG Yeah, it's got a button on the bottom! :D The 35R...

Phyrbird

I'm comin'

How will I know you if I see you

I'll be in the Browning cap (o/d color)

Unless you're the gent I traded for the 35R grade B this last fall.

You know where your table is yet? Should I bring trading material?

Phyrbird

DeWalt, You make very valid points, in practical terms I agree. At the same time I'd like to set an example to be Sure. :ugeek: One issue will be with the 35R. I'm loading for a single shot pistol, a pump 760, and a pristine auto loader. I'd like to know which chamber is the tightest and size for it...

Phyrbird

OK, I've done some digging. The 35R bolt is about .005-.007 smaller than the 300Sav. Looking at the cases in the chambers with the rifle taken down they are very deep. That is the extractor is recessed in the "block". Yes, the extractor is very much the same. I'm amazed that the bolts clos...

Ladies and Gents,

It sounds to me there is a vengeance issue with Ms Fienstien; I mean she may be in need of counseling. The solution to this problem is obvious, she has to be re-elected real soon. Our voters need to remove her from office. Could all the California folks help us out?

Sincerely;

Phyrbird

Once again we offer a tip. ;) For those without or hesitant to use fine india stones on action parts. If you are unhappy with your current trigger feel, creep, or pull weight. Try this simple trick. Remove the trigger assembly, clean it thoroughly, be sure to sparingly lube the whole assembly with a...

Phyrbird

Guys, I'm thinking :idea: (Whoops) on a possible project. Got some fitting questions: How much "fitting" is involved to mate a bolt to a barrel? Aside from the concept of headspace. What are the case SAAMI dimensions for 32R, 30R, 25R? Source for gonogo headspace gages? Doesn't the 35Rem a...

Roger, Email on the way, I must have Contracted JACKITIS !!! :o Turns out I need all 3, 25Rem & 30Rem too. Already got 35Rem to feed A Contender Super 14 and a Remington 760 pump.

Pitchy,
I really like the new MTM digital scale, fits in a shirt pocket. And it will handle 750 grains.
A lot less expensive than the RCBS -- Lyman stuff.

Phyrbird

Tip for those avid reloaders: Imperial Sizing die wax is great!! It prevents those nasty times the shellholder rips the rim off a case. Just a tiny amount on the fingers will lube several cases; the "wax" protects die internals from rust, a quick wipe with a rag removes it from sized cases...

Phyrbird

Big Al, I am very impressed with your use of clear plastic sheeting to simulate the receiver. There are a lot of other issues, assembly questions that could be better understood with this technique. If you have time, I'd encourage more photos. Way Cool!! Thanks :geek: On a side note how was the orig...

Mr Lee, I really like cast loads in these calibers, Particularly 35Rem. Gas checks and linotype cast bullets are a great help for lead fouling. You might also try the "teflon" trick I posted :ugeek: under the Troubleshooting section. Just be sure to not get lube of any kind in a chamber. I...

Phyrbird

Gents If you shoot cast bullets it could lead your bore. :o B4 this happens, go to Lowes tool dept, on the lubrication endcap you'll find Dupont spray (dry version) Teflon. Spray a little down the bore from the chamber end, Be SURE :evil: not to get any in the chamber. Use the little red tube. Run a...

That one gives you a terrible pain in the left rear pocket!!! How about extra parts for an assembly?

Just got a new (to me) Model 8 with a removable mag. I'm looking for another magazine assy. Any help???

Ye PanzerMan, I've found a 25 Rem Model 8. I would like to chat about getting it to a good home. It has not been babied

, but has a heart. It should arrive in a week or 2 if you would be interested.
When I've in hand I'll take pics for us to exchange via email...

Lotsa Luck
