PM sent, good luck. Another solution could be to offer the rifle for sale on GB with a reserve price 3 times what you might get. One of our fellow collectors bought a tang sight that ended up bent and hammered. It's still for sale after 6 months. Good advertising as he covers everything wrong with t...

I smoke tobacco cigarettes; no other inhalants for decades.

I may have a sixpack a year.

My scores in Grad school seem to indicate I don't have Alzheimer's yet.

Be careful my dreams have a habit of coming true with help from above.

Phyrbird

Pretty, Clean, Original. Nice one

Congrats

Phyrbird

Ii too have those dreams, a Grade E Model 81, a semi pistol grip Grade F Model 8, a high grade FN1900.

Whew, if wishes were horses

Excellent restore

The dovetail cuts are hard t get right with hand tools, I know. Did you use a mill?

Phyrbird

Be sure to fire form the necked down cases. I use 10g of unique with a medium weight bullet in this size case for forming. It will help you avoid too much headspace.

Comment #1: I carefully have no comment. Learned a long time ago to try to stay out of trouble. :shock: Comment #2: I too have fallen down and could get up. :? I've developed a habit of trying to roll and cradle the rifle. :geek: Comment #3 I like to make use of my tools; if I own it, I shoot it. ;)...

Beating our Ladies

Somebody get a strained order

Ten Ring, you could get a bad rep for this.

Phyrbird

Ten Ring, Just had another possibility. (SMACKO) With the safety lever down, look inside the slot in the receiver for the OpHandle. You should see the rocker down out of the way. If it's up and behind the bolt that's it! The lever could have come loose from it's shaft and allowed the rocker inside t...

OOOOOO

More PICs

And they flirt

Nice ladies

But I think Jackitis has struck again.

I want another Model 8

Phyrbird

Good one Adam

Phyrbird

My Gr D has the same kind of markings. With a Model 81 barrel sleeve on a Model 8 circa 07
It appears Remington did some barrel jacket repairs in the late forties.

1. Is the safety lever up or down? To move bolt it should be down.
2. Has a round been chambered? test barrel with a wood dowel. (Gently)
Keep fingers off the trigger

Phyrbird

Walmart had Bone collector cases with 2 26" long side pockets last year and maybe this year.
You could try that one, or a double hard case.

Photos please

Phyrbird

Welcome

It's good to enjoy our ladies, have fun...

Careful they like to live with their sisters, you could end up with Jackitis.

Phyrbird

Stop!! Stop!!

My keyboard hasn't dried out from the last time.....

Very Elegant, the condition of the checkering is very clean. Hope I can find one when the funds are there so I won't be kicking myself for the next 30 years.

Phyrbird

It's a Physics matter, the delayed movement of the buttplate is softened by the movement of the barrel/bolt assembly. You get the same energy transfer over a longer time. Thus it feels lighter. The effect is felt with A5 shotgun when the friction piece is set up right. To get definitive difference s...

OOOO!!! Pretty Lady :!: :!: I am envious, both of the present :mrgreen: and the lady that made it possible. Congrats :) Very graceful tattoos as well, and I'm very surprised at the condition of the checkering. Could you post a set of close-ups of the checkering and engraving. Many of these have subt...

Jack,

Are you sure? It sounds like commission to me.

Commission of another act of buying frenzy.

Right now I'm thirsting after that just right trade at a show or here on the site

Phyrbird

Bander, Got one just like it. Spring is Broke :!: The factory dimple that locates in the hole showing has broke off. :cry: Fix: A new (or old) spring. Or Make a flat head pin that matches the hole in the magazine, step it down to fit through the hole in the spring, rivet the pin on the outside of th...

Be careful you'all get bounced right into another Model8/81

They are contagious you know.

The screw usually is for a sling swivel, I haven't made time to figure out the thread size just yet. they are floating around on ebay at times...

Phyrbird

Mr Johnson,
Did you get my PM?
Carl

Phyrbird

Pretty Lady. I like the forearm, nice. And at first I didn't like the Williams tang sight, after using these a while I've changed my mind. Its the best one of those in that it is great for tuning your point of aim and no worries of it getting off. The only one I like better is the Lyman 41AT. Got 3 ...

Phyrbird

If it's an early 81 I have found some were not drilled deep enough in the hole for the spring tube. Be aware this could cause the screw to get crossed.

Phyrbird

Yup, had the same problem, when you take the screw out you find the lever is supposed to be pinned. It doesn't always work. :o Best fix drill a new pin hole and rivet in a new pin. If you got a good mill. :x A good alternate; get some Locktite studlocker and apply to the shaft. Work it in. Align pro...

Phyrbird

Congrats

Phyrbird

Yes, I noticed the way the stock was covered by a rag and the slip on recoil pad. Wonder what's under that?
You might be able to get a grade D for that much

No tang sights, not even a Krieger magazine.

Phyrbird

UHJ, I have all 3 barrel assemblies. Your 30Rem receiver parts just might surprise you and fit the 25Rem barrel. 8-) I would be very careful about headspace if you put the 25 on the 30R receiver. If it is too long you could end up with a separated case when fired. :x The bolts and extractors are ide...

Phyrbird

I've an idea, I'll see if I can post some photos in the next couple weeks.

Phyrbird

OOOOOh

Nice one, very cool implementation of the drawings. I also see it was made from a Self Loading Rifle.
Now you must excuse me, I have to clean the drool off my keyboard again.

I'm running out of distilled water.

Phyrbird

Waayyy Cool

I too look forward to photos. I happen to have one of the non-Krieger conversions as well. I like being able to take the mag out.
You may want to be careful; our ladies have a penchant for gathering sisters. It's called Jackitis

Phyrbird

Rick,
I've sent you a PM. Thanks

Phyrbird

Jim, Outside neck turning will help some. Use care, if you trim too much the sizer die will not give you enough neck tension to hold the bullets. Especially if you find some jacketed. The turning can contribute to accuracy, too. Inside reaming often runs off center in the brass. An option is to get ...

Phyrbird

There is another small difference in the bolts and extractors. Some of the "35" extractor claws are curved some are straight. Most I've seen are straight. The bolt itself differs between the 35Rem and 300Sav; the recess in the bolt for the case head is about .006 larger OD for the 300Sav. ...

Phyrbird

Roger,
You are so right

Many don't know how little difference the size of the peep makes. When you do the Trig and figure it out.
If however you shoot at ranges more than 200yds it can be more significant.

Phyrbird

I would suggest raising the rear sight; start small to see how much it moves. Not more than a half a turn.
My son has developed a liking for the peep sights, he shoots tighter groups.
Remember the small apertures are for full sun, and will fade out at dusk.

Phyrbird

EEEUUUWWW

I really hate the idea of swaging down case heads. Not easy. works the brass even more.

We need to moan and whine till someone listens and makes more factory cases

Phyrbird

10-4 on that last Good Buddy!!
We gotta stay safe and set a good example for others

Phyrbird

Charlie, A good group at that range for iron sights. I'm curious, did you weigh the finished bullets after the tip modification? Differing weights could very well cause the horizontal stringing on the target, if grouped by weight you may get a lot tighter groups. From experience you can get one ragg...
