Hey Kevan, Welcome to the forum. We always look forward to the new members and the stories that they bring about "their" rifles. You, of course, will provide some pictures so that we may "ooh and aw" all over them. :lol: We will try and be helpful, offer encouragement, and dispel...

Hey Guys, I found an old posting I made about making a tool for removing the barrel nut. This was before the tools were being offered. It works very well and was easy to make. Clicl the link to see the old posting. http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=293&p=...

There are some tang sights listed on Gun Broker. Kind of pricey, but all of them are.

Hey Jerry, The rifle looks pretty darn good. I really like the "older" appearance of the wood. ;) That is a real nice touch. I will be sending you an email about this rifle. I am glad to see you back in action with the projects. I know Mitch must be chomping at the bit to get his. :lol: Ke...

Hey JoeinKY, Welcome to the forum. I am guessing that you might be located in Kentucky. We are glad to have another member and hope that you will find us helpful. There is a lot of good stuff about the Remington's here and if you have any questions, please ask and we will try and get you an answer. ...

I am glad your first experience was a pleasant one. There is nothing like getting a good rifle and you could not have bought from a better family. I echo what 81police has said abot the Creamer's. They are well known for their expertise on these excellent rifles. I have had personal dealing with all...

Hey JJ, I am glad to hear that you may try to engrave one of your rifles. If I had your talent and skill I would be doing several. I would be happy for you to use what ever you want for your forum and fellow engravers. I will wait with anticipation to see your "pattern". I may want to have...

Hey Guys, The Good Lord was looking out for me on these two Police Models. ;) I had to let Cameron do the posting since I could not get them in his hands. :) I sent Cam a whole bunch of pictures and told him he could post what ever he wanted. I am still learning about the Police Models and I call on...

jack1653

Thanks Mitch for posting the picture of Mack and me. :D That Boykin Spaniel is a real buddy and he listens to all of my "jackitis" problems without recrimination. :shock: I swear that dog knows when the dreaded affliction is about to get me and waits with the same anticipation for the next...

Hey Bend Shooter,

Welcome to the group of Remington admirers. If you have always been an admirer of the springpoles, then you must have some. Let us know if we can help with any questions you might have.

Hey Mitch and Jerry,

What a great picture. Since I have never seen either one of you and have only talked with both of you on the phone who is who in the picture?

Now don't go and tell me " the handsome one is me"

My advice would be to buy new brass. At least you would know it had not been used or for that matter how many times it may have been reloaded. I would not risk my rifle by buying used brass.

Hey texassako,

I can remember when I said "only three calibers to go".

Let me tell you that it won't stop at three.

You have the bug and the relief is to buy, buy, buy and then the Mrs. says bye, bye, bye.

Regards,

jack1653

jack1653

Hey Jerry, I am glad that you two got together. I knew the two of you would have a great time. When I called you and Mitch, you both were excited about getting together. I know it was good for Mitch to get away and have some time for him self and get his batteries recharged. It is just great to meet...

Hey Dennis,

Congratualations!!!! Anytime you can add a rifle like this one to a collection,you are doing well. The 25-35 is rare one especially in the Grade D. I like it and you did very well. The wood is fantastic as is the whole rifle. How did you happen to stumble on to this one?

Jack

jack1653

Hey Guys, I am not going to be able to get the 14 and 141's. When I called today to check on the availability, I was saddened to learn that my friend had passed away on September 22, 2011. Some of you may have known him or purchased a Model 8 or 81 from him. Mr. Joe Frankie was a kind and honest gen...

jack1653

Hey Guys, I know where there are some 14, 141, and Standard Arms rifles. At least they were available a few months ago. If you are seriously interested, I can contact the gentleman and see if he would still like to sell them. This would be a non-negotiated price and you would have to pay his asking ...

jack1653

Hey Guys, Another big THANK YOU to imfuncity for posting the pictures. I give everybody the message, show some pictures so I thought maybe I should return the favor. I do enjoy seeing the pictures y'all send and it helps to see different rifles. There is nothing pecular about the seven rifles. There...

Hey Dwalt, Thanks for sharing the information. I just knew that you weren't just another guy who liked guns. I can only imagine what you have done and learned while in that program. I have marveled at your knowledge level and appreciate so very much your service to the country and the contributions ...

Hey Guys, I received a note from ROBOPUMP and he indeed had a removeable mag rifle. He posted pictures way back on November 9, 2009. I looked up the posting and have provided the link to his pictures. Thanks ROBOPUMP. http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17&p...

jack1653

Hey Guys, A big "THANK YOU" for posting the pictures. I have only used two of the rifles, the first one and the last one in the photos. The top photo is a .300 Savage. I forgot to put the magazine in the rifle and didn't realize it until I saw the picture. It is a Krieger conversion and ha...

jack1653

Hey Dennis, That is a good looking .32. The stock shows some good cheeks and the metal looks to be in great condition. Your removeable mag is indeed another variation. It appears to fit tight in the receiver and that is a good thing. Is the tab that releases the magazine on a retention spring? I hav...

jack1653

Thanks Dennis. Curousity has got me and I will check it out.

Jack

jack1653

I can definitely contribute some pictures of rifles that have holes. I am one of those guys who has asked that question more times than I would like. :oops: I would like to see the mount that goes on the rifle that had 14 holes in the receiver. :shock: That scope must be one heavy son-of-a-gun. :lol...

jack1653

Hey imfuncity, The stith looks pretty darn good. :) Your pictures sure come thought very clear. Maybe we can get the thread that you are suggesting if we sweet talk our Texas buddy. :P There appears to be a wide variety of scopes that were put on the springpoles. I have a hard time getting use to th...

Atta a boy d-2, Welcome to the forum. You will love hunting with this rifle. It packs a whallop and is a hog killer! Glad to hear that you like the site. Its a site with a lot of information and a great group of guys who are eageer to answer you questions. Thank you for posting the picture. We love ...

jack1653

Heck MItch, if he is from Texas he can't be all bad or can he? :?: I know some other dudes from the Lone Star State and they are pretty nice guys. ;) The guy on GB does have a lot of stuff listed. I agree what you said about being reasonable priced. After my episode with the broken barrel lock sprin...

jack1653

Hey Guys, The broken part is called the barrel lock spring. I didn't wait like I said I would. :oops: Curiosity got the best of me. I had an extra model 8 receiver, affectionately referred to as the "Carriage Rifle", so I took it apart piece by piece matching it with the broken rifle. Wahl...

Hey John,

The serial number is 3059. One out of four isn't too good.

jack1653

jack1653

Hey Guys, Well, breaking it down and putting it back together didn't solve the problem. I noticed that when I pulled the barrel assembly off the rifle, the bolt head wants to fall back and when it does, it makes a quarter turn. I have seen the head turned on other rifles and it wasn't difficult to t...

jack1653

Hey texassako, Now you be real carefull about going for one of each caliber. You are definitely toying with the "jackitis" that seems to get the new guys like you. :shock: Just a couple more and then I will be satisfied ain't going to happen. :!: That being said, I say go for it. You will ...

jack1653

Wide Angle :!: Are you kidding me? It is all I can do to take normal pictures and get them to Mitch for posting. Regarding the yodh, does this mean it came from Star Wars? :lol: Seriously, I tried a couple of different angles to send and the one that you see is the best I could do. The inscriptions ...

jack1653

Hey Jerry, You don't even have to ask about the Swedish FN. It will always be No. 1. I feel a real kinship to that rifle since my Granddad came from Goteberg, Sweden. The story behind that rifle is truly interesting in how it was won and got back to the USA. I had sent you a very long email and neve...

jack1653

Hey Guys A great big "Thank You" to my frined, imfuncity, for posting the pictures. :D What can I say that hasn't already been said about these rare birds. There is something really neat about the FN's and I think it is the level of craftmanship that the people in Belgium brought to the ta...

jack1653

Hey Guys, Thank you imfuncity for posting the pictures. :) This is another of the good news bad news purchases. The rifle came form an auction in California. :o Of course, they would not sell the gun with the magazine but that made it a lot more reasonable and I had a magazine so it turned out prett...

jack1653

Hey Guys, I have run into a first for me. I recntly purchsed a Model 8 in .25. You may have seen the post that I was looking for a 1917 to upgrade the collection. The seller said the rifle performed well and had no issues. The rilfle was shipped broken down. When I attempted to put the rifle togethe...

Hey texassako, Welcome to the forum. I love it when someone who has never had a Remington model 8 or 81 gets their first one. You will learn very quickly that one isn't enough. You may become a victim of "jackitis". :lol: These rifles are amazing and are fun to shoot. You sound very knowle...

jack1653

I have been watching that auction. The temptation was there but I have managed to hold off for now.

jack1653

Thanks for the pictures.

It is always good to see more of these rifles. Just keep looking and buying.

Now Mitch, don't go and scare him with the "Jackitis". It would appear he may already have the symptoms but seems to have it under control with 5 rifles. :o We will know if he has "jackitis" if he gets a few more and then there is no cure, :shock: only occasional relief with the ...

jack1653

Hey Cam, My congratulations on a very good article. For the first time one can see the various grades and associated checkering in one place. I find it truly amazing how many different checkering patterns are on these rifles and not all of them are factory. I found it interesting to see some of the ...

jack1653

Hey Ben,

Thanks for the opportunity to give the POE magazine a new home.

I am very pleased to get the magazine and will send you a picture when I get it and the Police Model which was missing the magazine.

Howdy and Welcome. We are very happy to add another who has found the 8 & 81's a pretty neat old rifle. I would say you have jumped into the fray like many of us have done. You are off to a good start with these five rifles. We would love to see some pictures of your rifles. There area a lot of ...

jack1653

Hey Mr Mike, What a great story. Thirteen holes has got to be a record number. :o I have seen several that looked like swiss cheese, but none with that many holes. I'll be anxious to see the refurbished rifle. I agree with your viewpoint about these rifles were not meant for scopes. I have a couple ...

jack1653

A picture would help make the determination. My guess is if it is that shiny, someone may have buffed it out. To the best of my knowledge, there were no nickle or chrome plated butt plates. There were however many metal butt plates that were factory.

jack1653

jack1653

Howdy, This is what happens when you buy without first confirming with the experts. :oops: I bought this rifle because I wanted to think it was a "Deluxe" and after all it was checkered and it sure was pretty. I knew it was different from the other checkering patterns I had seen, but I wan...

jack1653

Thanks for the pictures, Joe. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words certainly applies. You have unique pieces.

jack1653

jack1653

Joe,

I'll have to take a look at the instructions to see what I have. I will make a copy of each instruction sheet and post them so every one can see what we are talking about. This should be a challenge!
