Jack there are several of those I've never seen; let alone one a Model 8. From the vintage it's pretty clear they were never available for the 81s. I note some were designed for mounting on the wrist of the stock.

Phyrbird

I may be wrong but the screw holes on left look like for the Williams 5D sight.
A pretty Lady, the finish is better than typical factory. The renovation looks nice...

OOh Wow

I was at the Gr8 Event & held some of these

This is gonna be GOOD

Phyrbird

Whoa, if it's not inletted for the toe on top or bottom then it had a plastic buttplate. Unless it is one that had a "S" curve military style plate. If so the stock will be fitted (carved) to slide into the plate with mount screw blocks glued in the holes drilled in the butt. I've one like...

There you go again, I'm washing the drool outa my keyboard w/ distilled H2O. This is getting expensive at 69 cents a gallon.

Phyrbird

Heating of some kind may do the trick. Be REAL careeful with the heat gun if used. A good idea is to eyeball the butt screw holes, the centering of vertical on stock,& L/R on the stock B4 any bend. You can get an unpleasant surprise if you don't check first. Experience is a hard teacher....

Phyrbird

Suggest you connect w/ RCBS, if they are like many other manufacturers in our chosen hobby they may take dramatic warranty action. I've had Ruger do considerable work on one of my babies, they charged Nada for parts & fitting of a cylinder. I only was out shipping for purloined parts. Weaver has...

Cabe, I agree bout the scrappers. Yeah we need parts to keep our ladies functioning, but I shudder to think how many of our rifles are/have been parted out to supply the stuff online. Wish too there was a way to 3D print spares for these fine rifles. I'm in process of a restore on one receiver found...

Phyrbird

Yeah!! Thats what I'm talkin'bout

Send me an email @ the sight, perhaps I can help.

U R welcome R'man, I like the slip ons because they require no mods to a stock. Plus it's really easy to throw one or two sizes in the pack with the muffs & safety glasses for a trip to the range... Of course in the pack means they won't mark-up the stock like many I've seen in the last 10 years...

Phyrbird

Even better, it's a high grade FN1900

I noticed all the screws are indexed

Now I gotta rinse the drool outa the keyboard again.

Running outa distilled H2O

Jack, A Beaut :!: :!: I feel your joy (& pain in the left rear pocket) as I have a soft spot for these Queens of the craft. Unfortunately I haven't deep enough pockets to share in acquiring this quality. However know I and my brother have had good luck with a couple of Herolds, mine a tri-barrel...

Phyrbird

Soaking in a good reliable solvent like Hoppes is good. I have also used a small brass brush for tight areas to avoid wearing the finish. I like the 0000 steel wool too (gently) as it is used to card during blueing process. The 0000 can eventually wear thru a finish. I have a old Tee shirt soaked in...

Phyrbird

I agree @ the plastic, just not the source. Many machine tool suppliers can sell plastic shim stock in various thicknesses down to about .002. It's Great & it is very stable for these applications....
Try it, comes in 8 1/2 x 11 sheets, affordable too...

Dave, I use the "remingtonsociety.com" site frequently. When I enter thegreatmodel8.net I end up on the society site. Is there any pages on the "dot" net URL? or is it just a pass thru to our site? If it has no pages we can't use them, then the only reason to hang onto the URL is...

Jack,
Is Ms Brenda OK? Heard some damage there.

Phyrbird

U R Welcome

Phyrbird

Good reply, it'll take a while to percolate, for now...

My brothers are hooked up with some investment casters in their jukebox restoration hobby. You just might use the "print" to get a good casting to be finish machined. Nice work. Which 3D printer you use? I'd really like to find a printer for small steel parts; know what I mean? PS I'd also...

OOOO :!: :!: Pretty Lady. :shock: I don't think the engraving is Rem original, but WOW, it is very tasteful. The scope & mount really sets it off. My compliments, a Great 81. Know you have inherited a treasure. 8-) Is that nickel plating I see? PS I know our members would like more Pics detailin...

The Norma powders are available here. I'm afraid what is not is the barrel of a FN1900 :? . Wish there were more but only a few of us are privileged to have one of our ladies direct from Belgium. :cry: If I'm not mistaken the caliber listing in some places across the Pond is a 9mm. :shock: Further I...

Got a need if any of you know of one. I'm looking for the CH 308 finish die for swaging. Not the core seat die, the other one. Need the top punch too. Don't have to have the knob, shaft, or top adjust screw. Got a workable bottom punch.
Looking to prep for the next shortage.
Will consider trade...

Phyrbird

Welcome, if you don't like the recoil of the 32 you really will be uncomfortable with a 300 Sav. Mine has a better punch tamed by a Limbsaver slip on. It works well. :ugeek: . My 32s are moderate. You should try a 45-70 with my Ken Waters Pet Loads, talk about a sledge :!: :!: The 35R with a 220g sl...

Got one in my spare parts box. Used but in great shape. No pits or cracks, slight blue wear on the tip of the plunger. All the rest good; ;) it's not been blued on the handle :x like so many. Carlsandage@yahoo.com Email me for $ + shipping, (USPS MO) or I do trade if we can get together on something...

Phyrbird

Yea verily, he speaks to us from time to time. We have to listen. Wish I could hear more often.
A side note: 25R, that clean, the Lyman sight, $350

He is really looking after you. Next Thurs we need to be thankful.

Phyrbird

Nice one, wish I could....

TklB, A lighter load may not cycle the action all the way back. Our Ladies are recoil operated. Cleaning the action spring & tube, the recoil spring, & the buffer spring could help. If the barrel sleeve springs are not in correctly it could have an effect as well. Sounds like a cycling probl...

Jack,
You have my personal email, keep me posted on a target opportunity, results of your inventory review, and I really would enjoy visiting again.
Take care, Carl

Jack,
Haven't seen much of you lately. Are you well? I'm still recoupping from the back. Too slowwwww for my taste.....
Your brother in arms,

Dieselman, You suggested you have installed a Model 11 spring in the barrel sleeve of a 35Rem. :idea: I am very interested in the possibility of similar work for some projects. Could you be kind enough to detail just what was done, the exact part used for replacement, & how/if it was modified? I...

Pics would help. Typically not but perhaps.

Who did the blue, I'm looking for a reliable source. Just not in Canada :?: :?: Who did the blueing :?: :?: Just for the record I really appreciate your skill with doing the mag release.

This may be of help, the 7x30W could be reamed in a 30R barrel lined to 7mm, the 30R is slightly smaller per SAAMI.

I'm pretty certain the sight block is brazed. It would likely cause scale from heat to remove. I have one some nitwit removed, toasty. Another option for the removal could be to use some medical freeze R134 to cool the barrel bushing after heating the sleeve. If that don't do it you may be in real t...

Did you get my PM with email for communication? I am still interested, just ain't found it yet..
