Just pulled out one of my anthropology books. Looks like it may be Indo-Aryan numerals. Is there a 5, 4, and possibly a 2 in the serial?

45guy

Is there any way to get a photo of the inscription slightly more wide angle? I've been digging through some books, and I highly doubt it is a Phoenician inscription.... The middle character resembles the Phoenician Yodh...

45guy

The guy is looking for trades now if anyone is interested.

45guy

The ears on the .308/.30 '06 strippers are a bit anemic. Also, you may have to remove a tiny bit of material to have smooth functioning. See thread in General.

45guy

The proof is in the pudding, or so they say. This 5.56 stripper has not touched the mandrel, but has only had one of the UMC factory cases passed through. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/0928112046.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/0928112047.jpg http://i52.photobucket....

I'll open it up to any caliber. I may not be able to slip an outright purchase past the budget committee, so if anyone has one of their "parts" guns they would like to part with, I have a nice Winchester 1893, et. al to trade. May be able to sneak some cash as well.

45guy

Since I have neither the time or resources to make a quantity of them, as you all can tell seeing as it has been so long, I will tell how my final product was assembled. On the original, I merely folded over the lips on the .308 charger, on the final I dremeled them off to give a little more room to...

45guy

Sarge, any suggestions on what to do with the old nickel on it? Break out the walnut media and blue? Perhaps color case harden the receiver? I can't screw it up any worse than it already is...

45guy

So I finished turning my new firing pin a few moments ago. While I know I should have waited until I heat treated it, I couldn't resist giving it a shot with one of the super colibris Mitch sent. :D So now I have to shape the spur I cut off off an old Stevens hammer and braze it to the block. I supp...

45guy

Being a wrong handed shooter, I'm sorry I missed that auction. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

45guy

Thanks for offering to help sarge! I'm sure Kenneth Womack can use a break from my incessant questioning! I'm currently doing practice runs with my improvised lathe turning firing pins. I'll try to get a picture or two up later.

45guy

Everyone take a Valium and calm down. I reload, and I'm not particularly excited. However, many forum members do not, and the price for good factory paper punching ammo is cheaper than buying reloads from Buffalo, et al.

45guy

100 rounds of .30 FMJ... http://www.armslist.com/posts/53764/col ... mless-ammo

45guy

I have various items to trade, including my Winchester 1893.

45guy

I'm thinking it was due to where they came from. If the previous owner constantly brought them in and out of his hunting cabin in northern Wisconsin, condensation inside the jacket would be a major issue.

45guy

On agenda:

1. Cut spur off of whatever hammer I can locate in parts bin and braze to block.
2. Locate suitable firing pin, or turn one myself. (Don't really have time for latter.)
3. Ask random folks for finish suggestions to replace peeling plating...

45guy

And so it begins. I am currently in the process of tearing it down and seeking a source for parts that are dimensionally similar enough to be made to work... Not much fun as of yet. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/DSCN2109.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/DSCN2110.jpg

Here is how it all started back in 2006... http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/model8002.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/model8001.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/1905012.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/aguy123/1905010-1.jpg http://i52.photobuc...

UPS says it should be delivered tomorrow, even though the last scan was it's departure from Jacksonville, FL on the 15th...

45guy

Also check out GAD's custom cartridge for cheap ammo.

45guy

Holy H**l that rifle has seen the country. I bought it in Wisconsin in 2006, then it went to California, back to Ohio, and now Kentucky!

45guy

After looking at the additional pics I was provided, it is closer to a number 2... And so the plot thickens...

45guy

Take good care of her! I never would have sold it if I didn't owe my father. She doesn't need a new stock to be shootable! If you have any questions about her, let me know! http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1320&hilit=beater&sid=eb9f0b17a36aa3694bd8537...

45guy

Let's see, big chip in stock, missing elevator for the King rear sight, the chromed buttplate I got from the old forum member silvermino.... The list goes on and on. GREAT shooter though.

45guy

Photo of the winter project... I find it strangely attractive...

45guy

Is it a .30 with a nice shiny blued charging handle? I sold this one to a dealer in southern Ohio a few months ago...

45guy

Please post pictures! If your friend lives in Ohio, I most likely can provide some info on that rifle....

45guy

So, I have a Belgian made number four copy on the way. As soon as it arrives, I will be able to get the mic out to determine if it will be possible to make original Remington parts work, much like the Chi-com Winchester 97 I rebuilt with Winchester parts. More to follow as the project progresses.

45guy

This one is right down the road from me...

Another easy way to remove the barrel nut is to grind down an allen wrench to fit. It's amazing what half a$$ed tools you can come up with when all you have is a bench grinder to work with....

45guy

And now she is gone forever. Traded off to pay my father back for all his generousity.

45guy

Not the same one, and a little pricier:

45guy

A bit late to the game, but a 19mm deepwell works perfectly.

45guy

I stumbled across it on either gunbroker, auction arms, or gunsamerica yesterday. Unfortunately I was unable to locate it today for Mitch. It was an oddball search query i used when looking for junk to buy, hence not being able to relocate it. If it helps, I believe it was in michigan.

45guy

Project 81 in .300 on GB going for 175.

45guy

While certainly not practical, there is a market out there for them. A certain firearms company approached an individual I know to produce some. So apparently there are people who want them for some unknown reason.

45guy

Basically looking for the junk you don't want... Or what most would consider a parts gun. Willing to do trade or cash.

Nice model G in .35 sitting at the local gun show. If anyone is interested let me know. john.grlica at gmail.com

If you decide to part it out, I happen to know of a board member with a love for ugly model 8's...

45guy

Truth be told, I was looking at them last night. I also found a Remington Keene to lust after, as well as a lead on a Remington M1934. Unfortunately it is the build aspect that appeals to me on this one though.

45guy

Production of a "pretty" version should be starting SOON. There appears to be some interest in these, shoot me a PM for details.

45guy

So I've found a Finnish Carcano CHEAP. It looks like the previous owner attempted to strip the metal with naval jelly or the like, but for my purposes it is perfect. It appears that I've also located a smith that will turn and fit a .35 Rem barrel. After losing my 7.62x39 Carcano, I'm thinking I may...

45guy

The title says it all, if anyone has some they'd be willing to part with I'd appreciate it.

45guy

Just a good old solid frame .30WCF.

45guy

Call me crazy all you want Mitch but I'm in love. It's rare that I don't feel compelled to get down to business with refinishing, but I LOVE this thing.

45guy

Believe me, the 5.56 work, they just need to be opened up ever so slightly. Just running a .30 case through a couple of times is enough.

45guy

With that much figure, I'd darken it up a tad. It really won't alter the appearance that much, but it will show the contrast alot more.

45guy

Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder, because you just sent the prettiest gun I own.
