Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that some one took advantage of you. The gun business is home to some pretty sorry folks. There's always some yahoo waiting to cheat honest people out of their money. If you want to help stop this jerk then maybe you could email me his name so I don't get chea...

Hey Adam, I've got a Stevens 520 in 20 guage with same checkered type wood as your photo has. My youngest son really loves that shotgun and can shoot lights out with it too. The 520 is the one shotgun that JMB designed, that really gets no respect. You can still buy good examples of these for under ...

Roger

Hey Packmule, I know the whereabouts of 3 Savage 1899s or 99 s. At least 2 of them are 300 savage ,and one is 250-3000 and is an early take down model. Email me if you're curious,or call me. I think you had my # at one time.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Hey, it's good to have you aboard. I've got some family heirloom guns of my own that were passed down from my grandpa. If you need any help concerning your m-8, then just ask your questions here. The members here are very helpful and quite knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing your stories with us here ...

Roger

Hey Adam, it looks like you're making good progress with your project. To answer your question about my initials, I almost always remove the buttplates on all new pieces I buy. I always put my initials under the buttplates. Also, if you use cold blue, make sure to heat the metal up with a hairdryer ...

Roger

Hey adam,
Me too ! I have the pro tool set but I would really like to own one of those FN1900 replica tools. Please keep us informed.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Adam, the williams peeps are really ugly,but very user friendly. They make sighting in an easy process . I have two others in my parts cabinet myself though. It was a parts gun,non functioning,when I found it and i turned it into a real functioning unit. I hope your plans work out with it. I also ho...

Roger

Sarge, what a great commentary. I grew up out in the middle of nowhere here in Iowa, and spent at least half of my childhood on my grandparents farm. So I can relate to everything you guys are talking about. I just wish uncle Sam would shrink in size and but out of my life . Thanks for your time, Ro...

Roger

Adam,i've had the same problem.Cam is right though about leaving the bolt forward when removing the barrel assembly. For what ever reason, it won't release after disassembly when the bolt is locked back. I have no explanation for it, but I know it does it to me too. Just take it apart with the bolt ...

Roger

I'm sure glad you are happy with it,Adam. It will shoot well for you i'm sure. Have fun with her.
Thanks
Roger

Roger

I've purchased more than a few tang peep sights over the years. I've found that the ones for Winchester levers are definitely more expensive than the ones for remington m-8/81 s. I've paid as little as 80.00 for one in excellent condition. And I've paid 140.00 for two different ones that were new. T...

Roger

I'm still wondering if you might want to sell'that tang peep sight.
Send me an email'if you are'looking to sell'it.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey,it sounds like most peoples dream deal come true. And if you want to sell your tang sight,email'me and i may be interested.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard, you've come to the right place if you're interested in the rem. M-8/81. There are many helpful members here with a vast amount of knowledge to help you if you need it. I've shot leverevolution ammo in very old m-8 s,and several m-81 s of all ages and been very pleased with the result...

Roger

What a piece of work.
Roger

Roger

Very pretty wood on that fine example. Have some real fun with it and keep us all informed on how'it shoots. If it's like most of them,it will be very accurate.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard, it's good to have another pair of guys who know more about these old warhorses than most of us do. I for one am always trying to learn more about them.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey, welcome aboard. But beware that your m-81 will probably require a roommate,they can be very demanding. And now that you are a member, you'll be associating with the people who have the least control over their rifles lol. Seriously though, if you have any questions or concerns,just feel free to...

Roger

The bolt looks fantastic to me. I know that the jeweling of the bolt,was offered by Winchester,as an extra cost option. I don't know about Remington. But yours looks so good that I wouldn't care,if I were you. Maybe some day I might be able to get one done for one of my rifles. If I was so inclined ...

Roger

Sir, I am curious about your extra 35 Cal. barrel. Is there any chance that you might be selling it? If so, I might be interested in it. Please feel free to email me if you would like to discuss it.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Phyrbird, I have a 32 rem die set for sale if you really need one. Email me if you're interested in it.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

I have decided to sell the Lyman All American die set I have. It's probably 50 s-60 s vintage, and it's in 32 Remington. It's in about perfect condition. There are pictures of it on my new website ,listed in my signature box below. Email'me with any questions you might have. I have two other 32 rem....

Roger

Here is the info I promised. The Clip Joint-ph#814-827-2371- Richard Pearson-p.o. box69- Centerville PA16404
Hope he has one for you.
Roger

Roger

I may have aplace that can help you find one. Problem is I'll have to dig to find a Ph.# for you.
Stay tuned,
Roger

Roger

Hey Adam, I think I told you already, but I'll repeat it here.This m-8 -35 Cal. is a fine shooter now. And my vision isn't too good! I've talked again with my Ffl dealer friend, and all we're waiting on is your next move. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

I'll be glad to send you some money for them. Email me, and I'll give you my address and Ph.# Then you can give me an address to mail the money to.
Roger

Roger

I also noticed this rifle on gunbroker,but wasn't able to bid on it. It looks truely awesome from the posted pictures.You're really lucky to have found such a nice m-8, let alone a 25 Cal. You did good at any price.
Thanks for your time, Roger

Roger

Being an old school A-5 collector,I can sure appreciate a really mint A-5. However,I will be surprised it it sells'for that much money. I've certainly been wrong a few times before though. Anyway,it is a great conditioned example ,that's for sure.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Hey, thank you for the info. I was guessing it was 50's or 60's vintage by the graphics used on the box and instructions. But I was only guessing. Thanks again,
Roger

Roger

I recently purchased a Lyman All American die set in 32 Rem. Cal. I'm pretty sure it has some age on it. It's in remarkable condition for being so old. My question is what vintage is it exactly. All my die sets are pre-1990, which is when i started reloading. It's in a black cardboard,padded,2 PC. b...

Roger

Gosh,I sure wish I could help,but I don't know anything about the rem. M-14. I hope someone who does know will finally see this
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

There's one on gunbroker.com right now.
Thanks
Roger

Roger

Some guys have all the good luck! What a very nice find for you. Looks like an FN rifle that any one of us would love to have. Congrats!
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey, my friend, i'm just hoping for a good conclusion to this bad occurance. I'll pray for him and you to come back together again. Losing my Brittany bird dog was almost like losing a child. Maybe he'll find his way back. The lord works in mysterious ways. I'm praying for you. Thanks for your time,...

Roger

Hey, what a beauty! It also seems to have a solid rib,a great plus for'it. It appears to be a 12 guage?? Also appears to be a full choke,kind of a minus. It may be a deluxe a-grade with d-grade wood too. It is in miraculous condition for such an early gun. It's only a guess but I'd say minimum $800-...

Roger

Pitchy, glad to see you're back on here.welcome back.
Roger

Roger

Hey Jack, I'd love to help but I don't have anything right now that would work for you. The 81 I thought might work is actually from 1947, not 45. I'll'let you know if I come across anything that will work.
Thanks for your time ,
Roger

Roger

Send me an email . I may be able to help you.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Jack,I will check out my guns and see if any fit your needs. It may take a little while though, because my rifle deer season starts tomorrow. It will be the only season that i will hunt this year. It only lasts thru Jan. 20 the.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Looks like a nice honest rem m-14. I've reloaded for 32 rem. For years. Email me if you need any help.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Congrats on your purchase. It looks pretty good from the pics you posted. I've had a few red field peeps ,including my grandpa's Marlin 39. They work fine , but are a little touchy to get adjusted. But once they're done they tend to stay where you want them to. I'm still using one for a rem m-8/81 o...

Roger

Great m-8 hope it's a good shooter. I'm seeing more rem.8/81 s in your future real soon.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Don't forget,they usually require roommates! Good luck with your shooting. Have some real fun with it.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard. You're in the right place for m-8/81 rem. Nuts. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. There. are many helpful members here who are glad to help. Beware though, that your m-8 will not give you a minutes rest until you buy him a roommate!
Thanks
Roger

Roger

Here's wishing all members here a healthy,happy, and successful new year.I'm sure glad that i found this website/forum last year. Thanks to everyone who has helped this old school collector with my Rem.8/81 s
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that in his book, John Henwood also talked about some rifles being made up from parts on hand as orders were received after 1950. This being caused by delays in the introduction of the new semi auto rifle( m740???) I'm not sure if he knew for sure how long the...

Roger

Thanks Mitch, I too was curious about the 14.
Roger

Roger

Thanks Cam,I would really appreciate that. I simply love that movie. At our show last night,I wore my Ralph "you,ll'shoot your eye out kid " shirt. And I put my electric "Frageelaa" leg lamp on top of my amp to show my team spirit. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Roger

Roger

Hey ,Cam,that's the coolest photoshop ever.I don't know how you did it,but I'm sure glad you did. I'm officially asking your permission to lift a copy of it for my own gunroom collection of vintage gun ads,etc.
Merry Christmas,to every member, from the Iowa Gunnut.
Roger

Roger

Hey Joe, I was just wondering if you were able to welcome any deer the other morning? Our hi-power season starts in about 3 weeks here in iowa. With the huge snowstorm this week,it's hard to know what to expect. One thing's for sure,walking thru this snow and big drifts will be a big chore.But it se...
