If Cam reads this maybe he could repost the drawing of the correct placement for this sight AT41.

Two things Have been noticed by me concerning this rifle. First I believe it is quite possible that a differant extractor was improperly fitted and or adjusted in this rifle. In the center of the extractor there are two small wings and a flat that some times has to be filed down (fitted) to move smo...

Was there ever any records relating to cross checking this info so as to know if our ladies are still the original as built by Remington caliber?

chas1949

Prices have been reduced

chas1949

Maybe this is the mounting plate you need. Will still need to locate scope mount

I would have to say yes it is for three reasons. First there is the typical extra screw on the left side of receiver that keeps the barrel lock from falling out with mag removed. Second there is also a screw added under the safety lever to keep it from over traveling when taking safety off. Non Krie...

chas1949

You need to push the bolt lock in on the other side of the bolt carrier before the bolt will rotate. There is a small ramp on the inside of receiver that does this when carrier is in receiver. When the barrel is released and moves back toward battery it pulls the bolt forward and rotating it to unlo...

Like this, push spring in and tip follower slightly so it will go into mag then let follower tip flat and it will stay in place holding spring in.

chas1949

Upper spring lower spring, the mag spring is one piece. Is your mag spring in two piecess

Have a very nice lee loader classic 35 Rem to trade for same in 300 savage, 250-3000 savage or 303 savage

chas1949

Thank you

chas1949

To add to my other collection, I am looking to purchase a Savage model 1899 in 250-3000 w/24" barrel.
Very good bore, no cracks in stock or for arm, no recoil pad and not drilled for scope mount. May be take down or non-take down model.

chas1949

Was not able to locate 5-48 screws anywhere including Lyman. However, I was able to purchase an assortment of 5-44 cap screws. They screwed right in the existing 3 holes. Had to use a drill with a file to reduce diameter of screw head to fit into the counter bore of sight holes.

chas1949

I have two very nice Marbles M8/M81 tang sights for sale.
$200 ea + shipping to lower 48.

chas1949

Thank you

chas1949

Need 3 #5-48 screws or source for these to mount AT sight on a M8

chas1949

Has anyone looked at the 30 Rem 81 on Gun Broker with what appears to be a M740/742 or 1100 operating handle in place of the original knob

chas1949

Would like to trade M8 round knob butt stock with recoil pad for round knob butt stock with or with out original butt plate.

chas1949

Need a pair of mounting screws for a Redfield 102N Model 8 receiver sight.

chas1949

Am I missing something here.
Please look at the Gun Broker listing and tell me if this listing it a bit curious.
As listed a M81 ser# 29666 30 cal. however no trade mark stamping or visible ser# on left side of receiver.
Also no mag spring or slot for one on left side of trigger plate.

chas1949

As you can see from the pics one screw in the normal place into the upper tang one an additional screw in stock.
Is this unusual?

Is there a reason that some round knob 8s have 3 screws and some 2 screws in the lower tang of trigger group. I have a 35 with 3 and a 32 with 2 screws.

chas1949

I really hate to see these purchased solely as a source for parts. That being said this one definitely is a parts gun.

chas1949

Numrick gun parts gives the dimensions of the buffer springs for each caliber. I have a 25-35 that had a split washer spacer under spring. Spring was short per spec and washer brought the length into spec.

chas1949

I had one that did that quite a longtime ago. The solution was to run a large brass bore brush with cleaner in the chamber with a cordless drill on low speed for a few seconds. This cleaned and polished any residue from chamber. No more problem.

chas1949

It appears from the photo that the bolt has remained lock to the barrel assy. This should not be the case if operating the action by hand. The bolt should have rotated and unlocked from barrel extension when operating handle is pulled back. With the bolt locked into the barrel extension you are also...

Same item listed on Armslist for $4500

Is it possible that with the scarcity of parts for these rifles that parts have been interchanged from other rifles. As collectors of these old girls we all have probably been required to use non original to rifle parts. If so it is possible that head space has been altered (opened up to the point t...

When ur drawing down down on a running white tail you don't even notice the recoil. Just waiting for those 200 gr 35s to pile him up.

chas1949

Thank you for confirming my thoughts and on this rifle.
I did share my concerns with the seller and suggested he visit the Great Model 8 site to view a F grade M8.
I got no response.

chas1949

Can someone with more knowledge them myself comment on the M8 F grade currently for sale on Gun Broker.
To me it appears to be a standard A grade with the checkered stock that was available from the Remington at the time with no engraving at all.

chas1949

Been hunting white tails in upstate NY since I was 11/12 years old with my dad and grandad. Always carried a M8 35 just like they did. 55 plus years. Back then Rem 200 and 220 grain were available, now only 150 or 180 grain can be found around my home if any at all. I contacted Remington a couple ye...

Would like to buy FBI front sight for M8

chas1949

There appears to be a pre model 8 on Gun Broker listed as a M81 300 Sav. A curious thing is that there are no side springs on either side of mag and no holes in mag on either side to locate the springs. We're there early M8s produced without the side spring.

Just because in case no one mentioned it, another member here is making new barrel nuts and washers. He must have thread size info you need.

Recently purchased a very nice 1943 military riot 12 ga, matching #s plain receiver and furniture, 20" barrel with flat military finish. The only issue I have is that someone sanded down the ordinance mark and the FJA inspectors mark on the stock. If anyone here knows where I might find another...

Are round knob model 8s found in all calibers?

chas1949

Has anyone attempted to take a Kreiger mag and extend it to 10 rounds by adding on bottom using section of a regular m81 mag and section of mag spring?

chas1949

Never saw one that was riveted. Very small spot welds on any I have seen.
Wisner's still has them for sale, $20.

chas1949

Not sure on this one as my tang sights are Marbles but I believe the lever on side is to lock sight in down position when not using. There is a flat on one side to hold with a wrench and two holes on other end for a snake eye spanner bit. I believe this is how you adjust tension on spring that puts ...

chas1949

This does not include recoil spring case or buffer spring. Was not in pics so I asked. Response was you get what you see.

chas1949

Possibly the little nub on the inside of the washer is not fitting tight enough in grove. If you had access to a tig or mig welder you could very easily put a little weld on it then file to fit. Mig or tig would do this without over heating washer. Looking at what little thread is damaged I think yo...

Or a fine toothed barrel nut. I believe Bob's gun parts might be able to help you. There is a nut,washer and bushing on EBay but priced way to much.

chas1949

I have 25teeth on coarse ones and 50 on fine ones. The fine barrel nut is 1.02 +_ long while coarse ones I have are 1.25 and 1.0 +_ long. After looking again at picture I believe the nut may have forced the bump on the washer back on the threads when removed at some point. With fine notches on washe...

chas1949

Another possibility is nut way over tightened at some point. The washer appears to have fine notches is the nut the same. There were coarse and fine of both nut and washer
