Re: My first Model 8!!! Original sellers pics added

It is nice to see these old relics come back to life. I think you have a dandy and will have lots of fun putting lead downrange with that one. Like everyone says they are addictive. Welcome to the club. :D

mag spring for model 8

Can anybody tell me how to make a magazine spring for a model 8 ? I just aquired one that would not feed right ,and as it turned out has a 3 leg spring from a model 81 installed . I swapped springs from another model 8 ( correct 5 leg ) and it works great. Now I need a correct spring. Thanks
