what would this cost for my 35 model 8 , including the Mag ? Thanks

eagles

I just got one with the gold cross hairs on gunbroker , do not have it in my hand yet .The pictures of it looked reddish , not blue or black . Does anyone know if a sight like this can be blued in a tank to match the barrel ? Also how did the gun shoot with it ? I'm pairing it up with the Lyman aper...

Thank you all, and Cam especially as the reason I asked my question was, ---- I have NO extra screw in my barrel jacket, as I looked and looked so , it seemed the ONLY option was the take down screw. My gun was made in 1920 and so it seems they had NOT done this as of yet .SOOOO how to install ? If ...

Sorry to hear you were ill , if you can advise a good place in Texas to hunt the W.B , it would be great . I was looking forward to the results . Good luck on the Red Deer hunt. Being able to hunt WB with out going to Africa, which is way to expensive for me is a nice option to have .

is packmule still a member ?

eagles

Thanks , so you remove the screw that has a little sling swivel shaped handle that holds the fore end to the barrel for the take down feature and replace that screw with one that has a large sling swivel shape that then serves as both the take down screw and the swivel ? Mine allready has a sling sw...

eagles

Not sure how I would do this unless I had a barrel full and stuck the entire barrel down to the screw , LOL ,unless I just put a few drops on the threads and tried that . I think they sell a product to apply to frozen nuts etc , I have to see .

eagles

Thank you . curious if others have had this problem

eagles

I just got my model 8 and when I took off the fore end to take the gun down , the take down lever will not move . I put as much arm pressure on it a I felt comfortable in doing . I do not want to break anything . What is the safest way to try and get this to turn ?

eagles

I see on Ebay and gun broker some screw in solid sling swivels , they are marked for a model 8 and 81 Remington . I did not think Remington ever offered them , did they ? If not isn't that false advertising ? I prefer a sling on a hunting rifle but is there enough meet on that fore arm for a screw i...

GOT ONE

eagles

Well I am not going to buy a Mac just to make the sights option work !!! I am on dell using Microsoft one of the most popular combinations on the planet . It should work for common servers etc. It is a Royal pain I am stuck with I guess . Do not have this problem on any other forum using the same eq...

Anyone have a reasonably priced tang aperture sight that fits in the one hole mounting system of a Model Remington for sale or trade ( I have a few killer custom knives worth more than the sight I would consider a one on on swap for ). No Ebay padded auctions please . Thank you .

eagles

I am also interested in one at reasonable price , no eBay padded auctions . willsanders@earthlink.net

Why is it , even though I click the option to Log me on automatically on each visit , it NEVER works, and I have to type in the password every single time ? Thanks .

eagles

Does it state the size of the leather case ?

eagles

Thanks would be good to find some old info from Remington catalogs or articles . I see these cases in all sizes but the shorter one makes sense . I would have to see how an 8 fit in one I guess to make a better guess .

eagles

THANKS

eagles

Thank you , do you know if they were available through Rem. or strictly an aftermarket item ?

eagles

can you please give me a contact email for the seller of the leather case ? I have tried for a half hour to join that 24 hour forum and it failed every time , could not connect, user name in use on and on and on . I really appreciate it as I am interested . My direct email is willsanders@earthlink.n...

eagles

SO WHAT HAPPENED ????

eagles

Does no one know the correct size for these ? I know of one 24 inches long and one 34 inches long , which is the right one for the model 8 taken down ?

eagles

Did you get a quote on the magazine job and or use him ? Does he sell spare mags for his job ? Thanks

eagles

I saw a picture of a Model 8 with an old Redhead leg o Mutton style leather case .It said it came with the the rifle . Were these made for the model 8 , as such ? I want to pick one up but see a few different shapes and styles .Is there one I should look for as a good fit for a Model 8 ?My model 8 w...

eagles

Thanks , I am looking .

eagles

Thanks Cam,yea I saw them, that's why I was wondering if anyone tried making new ones

eagles

Does Marbles or anyone make a reproduction aperture sight for the model 8 ?

eagles

New to the model 8, just got one from 1920. Does anyone make a stripper clip that will work for the 35 Remington ? Any model 8 machinist owners who can make them ? Thanks

eagles

No problem , thanks !!!

eagles

Read today the BB 35 is loaded to 35,000 or way under the 300 Savage the Model 8 was good for which is 47,000 . Seems if needed for a special hunt the BB hot stuff would be fine I have a few other questions if anyone reading this thread might know 1. Does anyone know of a any great gunsmiths who hav...

eagles

WILL DO , THANKS !!

eagles

Good idea I think the 300 savage operates at something over 40,000 psi and the 35 is n the 30.'s . I could be wrong but if they are staying in the standard pressure range it should not be ober the 300 Savage . I will find out

eagles

Thank you Cam, I would never make them a steady diet , I was just wondering if anyone had any experiance with them . I am planing on redoing a model 8 , wood , engraving the works , eventualy, as I think they are one very good looking rifle . I had read on another page on the interent some one was m...

eagles

I heard some of those crosses can also be a bit nasty . However the slughter house hunt as described is not desirable by any means BUT some other places might be a lot different and I would still like to know the outcome ?

eagles

Wow , realy what great advice (not ) :( . lisiten , I do not take to smart ass comments from people I do not know .You want to start with insults , expect them back, grow up and be civel . I am 61 years old and have been hunting since I was 9. I have a safe full of rifles, levers. bolts and double r...

eagles

Are any of the current hotter ammo like the Bufalo Bore 35 Reington , plus P etc safe in the Model 8 for just hunting . I know of fa few people who claim to shoot them with no problems of any kind since they ae still same spec loads. Does anyone sell replacement stronger springs that would be better...

eagles

Not yet !!!!!

I am looking for a working Model 8 with a great barrel in 35 Remington that has a trashed stock. I also do not care about the bluing on the metal parts . What I want is a gun I can have as a project to restock , blue , engrave etc for a classy hunting rifle . Want the tang peep and but plate as well...
