does anybody have a estimate of how many D grade model 8's were made?

The origional was listed as 11/32 with factory rear sight. This is the total height from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the sight. The factory front sight is low. Brownells can furnish the correct sight.

I just picked up the engraved model 8. Looks better then shown in photos. Has been restored. Excellent job in general. Not over polished and manufacture marks and engraving is still quite sharp. The recut checking which is very fine (24 lines per inch) is two foot checkering. From two feet it looks ...

I reload a lot of shells for the model 8 and 81. I load all the calibers. One thing I found out is you should use military grade primers. The 8 and 81 do not have a positive firing pin retractor. Some have firing pin springs but these can weaken. Military grade primers have a thicker cap and a light...

I have several barrel jackets. Will have to check patient dates

Where can i get a copy of Blauchs book on the model 14. Does anybody have one for sale?

Thank you. You saved me a lot of work trying to fit this thing. With the new wood it works just fine with out it. This anti-rattle device requires a lot of additional inletting.

I wish I knew how to post a picture. The bushing is 4 sheet metal rings connected to each other by tabs giving a spring like appearance. I have a 141 32 cal in the shop and it has this bushing also. It is not shown in any drawings or parts list. The bushing slides on the magazine tube inside the for...

I am restocking, for a customer, a model 14 in 25 caliber. The forearm has coil like bushing. I can not see what that bushing is for or what it does. The takedown books do not show it. Anybody have any ideas?

Another problem would be to get the correct spring balance. Each caliber has its own springs. No replacement springs are being made. You would have to try different existing recoil springs and buffer springs. A almost impossible situation with the current supply.

I see somebody shortened a model 8 into a carbine. I can not find who did that. I wish to have one made. Does anybody know the gunsmith who made the carbine out of a rifle? How can I contact him?

I have 20 model 8,s and I shoot 3 on a weekly basis. I want to get one made into a carbine with the 17" barrel. Is the person who did yours still in business and would he convert one of mine into a carbine. George Frazier

Get a very large screwdriver and grind the tip to fit. Get a friend and one apply down pressure while the oter turns the screwdriver. If you can get screwdriver with a collar for a wrench that will help turning. The wood is applying pressure to the screw. I have had them very tight.

I have had several of these. I have seen them mostly on Savage 99 but have seen them on Winchester 1894 and Model 70. They were a prism scope. Very crude windage and elevation adjustments. Moving one changed the other. You just about wore out a barrel trying to sight in. I repaired two by re gluing ...

This is a Boone scope. If you try to use one it will fall apart from recoil. The glue that holds it togeather has dried out allowing all the glass to fall out. These were made in 2.5 and 4 power. Needs a special mount for each model.

Which screw are you talking about. The one that goes in the bottom tang through the stock? If you have access to a large drill press you can lock the gun in so the screw head is under the chuck. Fit a correct screwdriver in the chuck and lower the chuck so the screwdriver goes into the screw head. L...

Apply a good penatrating oil and let soak in. Get a perfect fitting screw driver. With the screw driver in the screw slot hit the head of the screwdriver with a hammer at a rapid pace while turning the handle.

I found several people who will anneal on line. Look like 25-30 cents per case. Buy old brass at gun shows but do not fire untill annealed. Your chamber is fine, the brass is too old.

I just today fired 100 rounds of 32 Remington loaded in old cases that where just annealed. Not a single split case. I do not recommend you anneal yourself. Find somebody that has the machine. They usually charge about .15 cents per case. They must be clean and polished before the anneal process.

I think there is nothing wrong with your chamber. Old ammo should have the bullets pulled, de-primed and annealed to prevent neck splits. Your brass is too hard from age. Re Anneal you cases.

I have a lot of them. I think I have that sight someplace so I will look and see what fits. I am not sure where the gun with that sight is. I will have to look.

I just finished rebuilding 10 model 8's and 81's. You can interchange the barrels and actions in the 25-30-32 calibers. You can put any barrel assemblies on any action. There is no headspace on 8's or 81's as it can not be changed or adjusted. They are like many automatics the hespadspace is automat...

Does anybody have source for new recoil springs. I have contacted two spring makers about making new ones but they want a order of at least 1000 springs at 16.00 per spring. Also called Jack First and the do not have.

Need recoil spring for 35 Rem.

Robopump is correct. I tried the stripper clips and they are more of a pita then just standing round up, push stright down and it will fly into the magazine.

The magazine on ebay: what is it? Is it a Krieger?

Is this a Krieger magazine? If not will it interchange with a Kreiger?

SKS stripper clips work in model 8 in 25, 30 and 32 caliber. You get two 5 shot clips out of one full length SKS stripper clip. you need strong fingers to push down. Had to widen clip feed lips about .004 which takes about a minute with a dremel tool. Do not know what value these have. Easier and ju...

Thank you. They are out there but most people do not know what they are.

Bought one on ebay
