Looks good on there, very nice setup! I saw you won the auction and that you were un-opposed.

Glad you found one, they don't pop up very often.

Howdy

Welcome to the forum.

Hibby83

Welcome to the forum.

You have 2 very cool 1900's!

Hibby83

1 is my top choice.

A hat could be cool!

Hibby83

I certainly will push a link your way once I find one.

The bushing is standard right hand thread "righty tighty, lefty loosey".

Hibby83

I've checked out the usual places for parts and haven't found the plunger yet.

Incase you didn't see I recommend using 90 degre snap ring pliers for the bushing.

Hibby83

OK that is helpful. Let me play with this a little more and I might need your help again. Yes, I did buy one yesterday. Honestly, I thought I was going to buy for a parts gun, but ended up paying way more than I wanted to. At this point, I may keep it and turn it into a functional rifle. I see that...

Hibby83

90 degreee snap ring pliers have done the trick for me, to snug the bushing.

I believe there's a plunger or 2 available between gunbroker & ebay.

Ok, congrats. You just won another one at auction yesterday?

Hibby83

Is there enough material to grab it with pliers?

This doesn’t happen to be the the one that just went on gunbroker?

Take your time and learn the procedures before you tear into it all. Lots of good info and knowledge here.

Hibby83

Great to hear its back as it should be.

Hibby83

Sorry to hear you're having problems. That's an issue that I haven't heard about yet. I assume the problem with the bolt rotating in the lug isn't due to being dirty/build up. There isn't any deformation or burrs where it would cause issue? Do you have another example to compare the parts side by si...

Hibby83

Thank you John & Carl.

Hibby83

Follow up- The sling on this rifle was very dry when I took ownership. A few applications of neatsfoot oil over the course of 7-10 days brought it back into service. The sling still faintly retains original stampings "Hickok 1943". I couldn't find anything about the leather brand online. P...

Hibby83

Good luck.

Wish you posted this a week or so earlier. There was one on an auction page.

Hibby83

Looking for a Peters 25 Remington 117 grain box of ammo "ammo and or brass optional". I'm looking to fill a void in my cartridge box collection. I'd prefer the end flaps to be present. I'm not necessarily looking for a brand new looking box, but I don't want an ugly tore up one. Thanks gen...

Hibby83

Great to hear it's back as it should be, all that it needed was cleaned out. The bolt can move in the carrier and make difficult to mate the the barreled assembly on at times. I always leave the bolt forward when i take the rifle down, it hasn't given me issue yet. Look forward to hearing a positive...

Hibby83

Great story. Happy that a member from the community was able to help you. Awesome looking copy from the machinist. Certainly look like a bonafide F.N part.

Hibby83

Is the bolt lock back fixed now?

Atleast one of mine needs solid pressure pushing together for the stock screw to align. Be very careful not to crossthread that screw.

Take your time and be in the right mindset, you'll get it.

Hibby83

If you push up on the indicator lever while pulling the bolt back, does the bolt lock back?

Troubleshooting online isn't easy.

Have you taken apart any of your 8's & 81's ?

Hibby83

No mistake, tell tale sign there.
If you so choose, it wouldn't be hard to remove the blue from either of those so it looks more correct.

I'm thinking that might be the Redfield rear sight.

True. The gloss finish on the wood is what has me thinking that along with the bolt handle appearing to be blued.

Hibby83

Congrats on your purchase. I saw that rifle when listed. My opinion is that it's a tastefully well done restoration. I could be wrong, I'm sure some experts will chime in. I wasnt sure if there was interference with the sight in the photo. It may be a rare rear, possibly custom sight. As i said earl...

Hibby83

Good job MinnesotaDan.

I've encountered a couple that needed some lube & leverage.

While it's not a necessary step in most cases, it's nice to be able to do so whether it's to replace or for meticulous cleaning.

Hibby83

^ Thanks gentlemen.

Hibby83

I took delivery early in the week of this Model 8 with the seldom seen checkered flat metal buttpad. It sure needed major cleaning for the barrel and components in the shroud. The receiver wasn’t too dirty and all the parts were in good shape. I’m SURE glad this wasn’t my first Model 8! Opening up t...

Hibby83

Nice score 54Bullseye! That’s a good looking rifle.

One of these days I’ll find a 1900.

I haven’t searched the net to help figure the brand of peep sight yet. It certainly is cool & unique looking.

Hibby83

John Taylor

They’re like a detailed breakdown gun cleaning mat.

Put “tekmat” in your google search and you’ll see.

Hibby83

i purchased the lot of brass.

Great transaction, fast to ship. Would definitely deal with again.

Hibby83

Thanks for sharing.

Seems cool, will have to keep an eye as they progress.

Hibby83

Here's a small collage of some harvests this past season from my father and I.

Hibby83

Nice job getting it back together, I knew you could do it!

Hibby83

returned correspondence via pm

Hibby83

Interested.
Messaged you.

Hibby83

same to you and all among us.

Hibby83

Is it normal to have no riveted screw? What do you think of the other two holes are for that are low on the receiver?

Hibby83

Here's an oddball to go with the post. A MODEL 8 chambered in 300 SAVAGE ''not factory of course" -https://www.gunbroker.com/item/961815667 The monte carlo buttstock looks pretty decent, no use for a lefty like me though. I sighed when i saw the forearm. I suppose the prior owner thought it was...

Hibby83

definitely a frankengun of sorts.

81 receiver and barreled assembly with model 8 trigger guard and stock set. The safety appears to have been repaired. It's a straight gripped shooter.

It's not the worst shape, not the best. I certainly wouldn't pay anywhere near the price that's being asked.

Hibby83

Lots of YouTube videos showing everything about the rifle There is some good videos there. There isn’t any that I’ve seen that show the individual removing the ejector. I’m not sure which way the pin should move. I haven’t hade any issues yet with that part on any of mine. -What I can say is make s...

Hibby83

Great work and a fine looking flintlock John! From the looks of the target you had the load and hold for match quality. Your quarry stood little chance. Pretty cool you did some traveling for out of state hunts. I'd like brainstorm and make that happen for my neighboring states "ohio/new york/j...

Hibby83

Welcome to the forum.

I'm a Remington fan myself "of course

".

Hibby83

The magazine is universal "25-30-32-35-300" as far as what I've seen, along with what's in the parts list. The side spring/side springs would possibly need some adjustment to hold the rounds appropriately. The cost of a complete magazine isn't very cheap. If you look at the big picture of ...

Hibby83

Nothing particularly weird, missing magazine aside. You have a repair code "due to the 3" on your barrel shroud. I don't see a production code present, not terribly uncommon. Nice score! I can't see the rest of the rifle, but I likely would've picked it up for that price. Fortunately, with...

Hibby83

Great pictures of an even greater rifle!

Thanks for sharing 54bullseye

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the quota # and when does it reset “monthly-yearly”?

Hibby83

dang, that's strange.

I did think it was the D grade. Not many of them out there!

Hibby83

Wish i could lend some advice. Only thing i can say to try is no more than 3 pictures per post?

It sure is a beautiful rifle, if it's the rifle i think your wanting to post!

Hibby83

Wanted to wish the members and or their family or friends that have served or are currently serving in the armed forces a happy Veterans Day!

Hibby83

Replying to. ^ Not sure the best way to use the qoute feature. The very early guns "all first year" had the caliber hand engraved. That stopped "to my knowledge" in 1907. Yes the bolt handle has been modified. The magazine on the first 2 years of production didn't have the side ...

Hibby83

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on picking one of these up, real cool you snagged an early one. I do have a couple of questions though. 1. Are there any scope mounts that utilize existing screw holes? - There is a mount that a fella makes on this forum. It's geared more towards red dot sights....

Hibby83

Awesome!

I'd love to get out west and be able to get a MULE deer "buck" someday. Haven't done my homework on which state is best in general for O.T.C tags.

I assume they're not southern enough to be eating sage? Is it that Mule deer are more game(y) than whitetail deer?
