I checked the Stith Mounts that I recently received. It appears from the instructions that I have two different models. One is called "The Texan" and it looks to be close to a one inch mount. :o The other two are called "The Alaskan" and the mounts look about 3/4". :o Just g...

Howdy Guys, I have been sharing emails with Sarge756 and during our exchanges, I mentioned that I was going to inquire with imfuncity about scopes for the Stith Mount. We all have followed Mitch's conquest of the Stith and it was Sarge756 that came to his rescue. Anyway, Sarge765 sent me some inform...

Welcome aboard siiverflinger, Good to have another proud owner of a Model 8. If you have a 7mm it must have been re-barreled and that would make it unusual. The boys at Remington made the model 8 in .25, .30, .32 and .35. The serial number would indicate the year 1911. If you can send a picture of t...

jack1653

Whoa there big fella. :o Why would I ever possibly mention anything about pictures after I was treated so nicely about the hog pictures. :lol: I am really glad that you got both of the Stith mounts, Mitch. Joe and I had exchanged emails while you were in the hospital and he was trying hard to get th...

Howdy Fellas, I am trying to locate another Model 81 for the year 1944. I would like to find one in any caliber with the barrel codes ending in "NN". I would like for the serial number to be consistent with the issued numbers for the year 1944 which would be in the range of 21580-21694. Th...

Hey Mitch, Good to have you back on line. I have been traveling and won't be back for a few more days so I am late with the greeting. I am using the brother-in-law's computer so I'll keep it short. I am so sorry that you missed the Stith mount that you were wanting. It is tough to have several thing...

Hey atw714, I can't help you with the gunsmith question since I live in Georgia. In addition to what 81police has suggeted, I would add these comments. The factory checkering on the majority of the Remington's that i have is a very fine 22 lines to the inch. The checkering will have a double border ...

Hey Sarge756,

I think tere may be something wrong with the link. You may want to check it out.

Howdy and welcome to the forum. If you would like to sell the rifle, send me an email at jack1653@att.net and maybe we can arrange a sale.

Hey Nemo, Have you thought about getting a different barrel assembly? I would guess you could get a different barrel assembly for what it would cost to have the barrel rebored. The fellows from the S and S Huntclub often have barrel assemblies that they are willing to sell. The last one that I purch...

jack1653

Howdy, Thanks for the lead. I had checked this website early on and chose not to use them. I did not like the construction process being used. There is nothing wrong with their process and it is used by many craftsman. If you look at the pictures you will see they use cabinate grade plywood and then...

Hey Mitch, Y'all be carefull with them nurses. ;) Since you are the picture poster expert, might we get a glimpse of that there kidney stone? :lol: You take care my friend and like Cam said, we will say a prayer for you and a speedy recovery. Let us know if you get that Stith you have been watching....

I am trying to find a builder for a custom case to carry a Project Rifle that is nearing completion. The case will be for a shorter take down version instead of a long version. I can provide a simple drawing and description of what I would like inside the case. I would like for the exterior to be ma...

Thanks Joe for the reply. I do not know much about these vintaage scopes. I have a few rifes with scopes on them but I don't shoot most of what I have so I can't attest to the qualities of the scopes. I have tried to use a couple but have not been satisfied with the optics particularly in low light....

Hi Guys, I am making a request for a fellow Remington owner and good Friend. He sent me an email requesting the following. "Do you have or know anyone that has a good clear v22 weaver 7/8 diameter scope? I need one to replace one I have on my 32 REM 81 with stith mounts." Any leads will be...

Hey Guys, If you haven't seen the update in the "About Us" on the site, please take a look. The site administrator has been working extra hard to bring more information to all of us. One of the areas that was needing attention was the About Us. I personally think it tell a little better st...

Howdy, The search fot the 1917 is over. :D I finally found a good one and the price was a little higher than expected but it was what I was looking to upgrade. It comes from Idaho. Thanks to everyone who was looking for me. I will now have to post another wish list involving some barrel codes and se...

Hi superc,

Welcome aboard. We enjoy our rifles and are learning new things about them. They are fun to shoot and make good hunting rifles. If you have questions, we all learn and are happy to impart comments.

Hey norm, Thanks for the information on the reloading. I know absolutely nothing about reloading and what is involved. My interest stems from putting a project together that will include the Ideal No. 10 for the Remington 25-35. I want the project to include the correct tools (?) for the 30 and 32 c...

Hi remington,

I have sent some pictures to 81police and have asked him to post them for me. They should be on the forum very soon. For information on the checkering, please email me at jack1653@att.net.

Any of the topics listed will be appreciated. It was hard to choose so I gave in to what is currently on my mind which is the checkering. I have just sent off a stock to be checkered like the Grade 4. Fortunately I had a Grade 4 that I could send for the pattern. I hope it turns out well. jack1653

Hey nicky4968, Welcome aboard. I see that you have an additional interest in the S & W. I joined that forum also. I would like to hear about your S&W's. I have a few of these in my collection. This forum is great and if you have any of the 8 & 81's, we would like to hear about them and s...

jack1653

Howdy, Yep, I agree with infuncity. I think you have the disease. :o As the originator of the dreaded "jackitis" I can tell you there is no cure. You can get temporay relief by getting an 8 or 81 but it is short lived and then it bites again. :shock: Keep looking and buying and if you find...

Howdy, I am trying to find a 1917 Model 8 to replace one in my collection. It can be in any caliber and would like for it not to have a repair code. I would be willing to trade another Remington model 8 or 81 for a rifle that is in good conditon or I can buy outright. Any assistance will be apprecia...

That is a nice looking pair of rifles. The bluing looks to be in good condiion. Now all you have to do is start adding a few more to keep the pair company.

Hi Guys, I don't know how I missed these postings. All of you have posted some real beauties and I am impressed. I will have to jump in and send some pictures also. Am I limited to just one? It is difficult to pick just one but I will try and go easy on imfuncity who will have to do the posting for ...

jack1653

Welcome Friend, Good to have you on board. You are on the way to getting a good collection. So many of us have obtained our rifles through sales as opposed to getting them from family. I really think it is neat to have guns with a family history. If you haven't been asked yet, we would like to see s...

jack1653

Hi 81police, Well that is a nice looking firearm. It appears that it has a pretty good punch when you compare it to the other video of you shooting my Police Model. I kept waiting for the other 10 rounds!! When Pete gets my carbine back to me, I'll have to make a competeing video. Well it won't be a...

Hi Ken, Thanks for the information. I have sent an email to Rick to see if he can help me get what I need. I held off purchasing the dies on Ebay at this time because the nomenclature on the dies did not reflect the correct caliber. They would do in a pinch, but I would rather the dies relflect the ...

Hi Dwalt,

I found the tool you mentioned on Ebay. I was just about to ask if the 30-30 Winchester would work for the Remington .30. You answered that question so I am going to try and get it. Thanks for your assistance.

Regards.

Jack

jack1653

Hi Dwalt,

Thanks for the information. I will see if I can locate the items in the places you suggest. The information about the bullet molds is helpful and you are correct in stating that for display purposes it will suffice.

Hi Fellas, I am trying to find out if there are any hand reloading tools out there that were made for the Remington .30 and .32 calibers. :?: A gentleman in Minnesota found a reloading tool at a gun show and purchased it. He made the tool available to me. :o It is an Ideal No. 10 Double Adjustable. ...

Howdy, Cam, you have done a great job on the articles. I appreciate your efforts and the information broadens our knowledge base. Thanks for including pictures of my FBI model in your article. I wish you could get additional pictures of some of the other variants. I really have to study the "Bl...

Howdy, These take down videos are some great additions to the forum. It is good to see another face that goes with the name. Bob, you have done a great job with the videos but I am not surprised at the quality. It would stand to reason that anything you put tgether is going to be a first class produ...

Hi Guys, It has been a while since I have made a posting. I have been traveling and trying to catch up on neglected home chores. I thought a good way to get back in the routine would be to say a big "Thank You" to all the members who served in the military to give us the freedom to pursue ...

Hey Walt, I bought a model 81 in a collection that was chambered for a 22-250. I had it checked by my gunsmith and he indeed verified the caliber. Whoever did the conversion kept the barrel receiver marked as a .300 SAV. I have not shot the rifle so I can not verify to accuracy or recoil or even fun...

Howdy, Once Cam told me how to get on the website I was ready to go. Thanks Cam for helping me get on line. I watched this auction and had submitted bids on eleven items. I was amazed at the prices.

Hey Denis, You have picked up another beauty with this rifle. The ole round knob pistol grip with the high cheeks are hard to come by and to find one in the condition you have is, I think, an excellent buy. If you want a real challenge try and get a "set" of these in each of the calibers. ...

jack1653

That is my fault for not being more explicit in what I sent. The before pictures were sent earlier and I think there were 9 or ten before I removed the oil. The last set I sent were the after pictures and they are posted correctly. I have sent the first 12 before pictures to 81police for posting. He...

Thank You imfuncity for posting the pictures. The next step is to apply the Tung oil and hope for a good finish. The wood is smooth as glass and looks pretty good to start the finishing.
