This is in response to Cam asking about any higher serial numbers of model 8's. He does mention that Jack1653 owns S/N 69908 which is higher than the highest number referenced in Henwood's book of 69899. I just purchased 69928 but have not received it yet. It is a 32 REM with the round knob semi-pis...

Here are some more pictures of the dental surgeon rifle.

Here is another entry. This is a standard grade M8 with special checkered butt stock and forearm in 30 REM. It is serial number 61600 making it a 1930 rifle. It has the flat semi-pistol grip stock and the fairly rare steel bottom tang butt plate with non-slip grooves. Please note the smooth silver i...

ROBOPUMP

Here is one of my entries. This is a model 8 in 32 REM with steel shotgun but plate, round knob semi-pistol grip stock. Serial number 39072 making it a 1917 rifle. This stock and butt plate is much smaller than the "regular" M8 butt plate and stock. I call it my "petite" M8. See ...

If you really study the video, you will see that there is no kick of the rifle until the action is all the way back. This may explain the unexpected kick of these rifles. Instead of feeling just the force of the ammo, we feel the mass of the bolt carrier and the barrel coming to a rapid stop in the ...

I have some listed on GunBroker right now. It is the Winchester "Patch" ammo. I also have four more boxes of it. I need $25.00 per box with shipping being $15.00 with $2.00 more per each additional box. The other boxes are in slightly better shape than the one shown on GB, but all are open...

I use a very common "secret" tool that works just great to remove the barrel jacket bushing. Most of you will already have one, but if not, you can buy a cheap one at a hardware store for less than $10.00. I use the Winchester choke spanner wrench on the barrel nuts. Get the one with the w...

All threads on the 8/81's are right handed. No liberals allowed.

ROBOPUMP

I'm in if not much over $250.00. Much less would be great. I guess that is now 2+.

ROBOPUMP

Please let us know the length of the wood spacers. As I stated, the one with the washers had a buffer spring that is 1.75" long.

ROBOPUMP

Another thought came to mind. The split flat washers in my rifle look to be exactly like Jack's. Where else could they come from besides the factory? It would be too much of a coincidence.

ROBOPUMP

I guess it is my turn to through in another soup bone into the pot. I have two model 8,s in 25 REM, but newer serial numbers. Serial no. 35161(1914) has all the parts in the barrel jacket that I expected and the buffer spring is 2.25" long. However, serial no. 20533(1910) has what looked like a...

ROBOPUMP

I think this stock is for the model 8 with the semi-pistol grip style stock. It came with the cap flat or the round knob. See Henwood's book page 50.

ROBOPUMP

These rifles are very easy to load without the feeder clips. Just put the cartridge in vertically just forward of the mag side clips, press down and lean it forward. The magazine will almost suck it in. That is why most clips were discarded and are now hard to find. ROB

I purchased this item a few weeks ago and the dealer shipped via FedEx. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=332171060 As you can see the purchase price was $1000.00 and shipping was $31.00. The rifle was received with a nice chunk of wood and butt plate missing out of the tow of the ...

Thanks for the great post. OSHA would have a hayday in there with all the open belts and pulleys. I did not see one obese person in any of the pics. What would it look like today?

ROB

ROBOPUMP

What butt plate does it have? It doesn't look like anything Henwood showed us.

ROB

ROBOPUMP

The screw does basically nothing. I still think the whole problem is with the detent ball in the receiver. If it is not there or frozen in, it will not catch the indented semicircles in the safety arm. If the ball is still there, it may just be stuck and you can release it with penetrating oil and p...

ROBOPUMP

You got a real deal. The ammo is worth a minimum of $100.00 and the Krieger detachable mag, adds about $100.00 or more. So, you got a pretty decent rifle for $300.00.

ROB

ROBOPUMP

I have a replacement safety handle and a safety arm that I am willing to sell. I think maybe your problem is with the detent ball in the receiver that is not catching the detent holes in the safety arm. I am sure that can be repaired by a compitent gunsmith.

ROB

ROBOPUMP

It looks like you have already gone to bed with it!! I don't blame you. Great looking rifle with the detachable mag and some like new ammo. What else can a guy ask for.

I have a partial older box (16 rounds) of Remington Kleanbore Hi-Speed(not Express) 300 Savage 150 grain Bronze Point Bullet. It is the older green and red DuPont box. Index number is 7430 and the bullets do have very sharp bronze points.

ROB

ROBOPUMP

I think you are right on with removing the butt stock and trigger plate. The live shells should remain in the magazine when you remove the trigger plate and magazine. Should be really low risk of danger. I am thinking that possibly one of the little leaf spring has broken and wedged between the brea...

ROBOPUMP

If you are looking for a model 8 or 81, I have one of each that I want to sell.
I probably have a model 11 in real nice condition that I would consider selling.

INDY! That is one great name. That is the one I use when I go to see the doctor. It stands for I'm Not Dead Yet!!! Seriously, it is very hard to loose a best friend. We lost our german sheppard/golden retriver mix (scared to death of water and thunder) several years ago and we had to heal for three ...

ROBOPUMP

And now I and I suppose many others now know what the little screw is for and makes perfect sence. I am wondering if older rifles had this feature or when it may have been added. I often see older rifles with the scar marks on the receiver from over traveling the safety. It is impossible to remove t...

ROBOPUMP

Just flip the follower to the side and it will come out. Beware that there is spring tension on it. I think the official instructions are to flip it either left or right, but I think it will come out either way. Goes back the same way. Remember that the ends of the spring go back in toward the trigg...

Who would have thought that this auction would have brought in $905.00 for a fairly common REBLUED rifle? Yes, it is a 2nd year manufacture with the cal engraved on the barrel jacket extention and has the first type magazine, but does not have the first type safety lever. I see some rifles out there...

There is a seller that just listed quantity 8 of Rem 8s and 81s in the $299-$349 range with no reserve. Seller is Wildwoods. He is selling a collection. If you always wanted one of these or you need to fill in a gap, this will probably be worth looking at. BETTER HURRY, ONLY A THREE DAY AUCTION. rob

You can contact Joe Hulett at http://www.aperturesnmore.com/ and he can make that tang screw for you that will look just like new. Blueing and all. Several years ago I worked with Joe with the dimentions of all the tang screws for the model 8/81. There are three different ones. Straight stock model ...

OK, I took the plunge and became a seller on Gunbroker. I have listed several boxes of ammo at what I believe to be reasonable starting prices. I have also listed some other items, so please view my other listings. I will do combined shiping if you win more than one item. I will be listing some more...

When I was a teenager in highschool, nearly everyone with a pickup truck had a gun rack for two in the back window. Probably one rifle and one shotgun. I lived 3 houses down fron the school, but drove to school in a 1954 Dodge pickup. School out at 3:20 and off to hunt or whatever. Truck was NEVER l...

OK, I now have more info on the ammo. There are 9 boxes of the 25 Rem in the green and red boxes that are in excellent condition and boxes themselves are average. There are no dogbone boxes. There are four other boxes in 25 Rm by Win and Western. There are only 2 boxes of 32 Rem in what I would call...

I just ran across a hoard of ammo for these old springpoles. It is 23 boxes of 25 Rem, some Rem red and green boxes, some Rem dogbone boxes, some orange two piece boxes, etc. Also 6 boxes of 32 Rem.

I don't know if this has been discussed before or not. I have a keen eye and have notice some differentces in the buttstocks on the Model 8. Henwood does point out some differeces on the botton, straight, semi pistol grip with the ball rounded type and the semi pistol grip flat type. He does not men...

300 sav ammo should be available at any local gun dealer or Carbelas or Acadamy at a reasonable price. Looks like a really great rifle ready to shoot.

I totally agree and my sons and I agree that our guns can be controlled by being able to buy ammunition. The price of ammo keeps going up and can someday be out of reach. My advise is if you have a adequate number of firearms, please buy an adequate number of ammo for it. A firearm is only a awkward...

One other advantage of the loop sling is that there are no metal parts. Most other types of slings will have swivels that allow metal to metal "clink" that will spook close range game if the hunter is not very careful. The game can get away very quickly.

ROB

ROBOPUMP

My suggestion is to use a universal loop sling if you strickly want a sling on your M8 or M81 for transport purposes. This type sling can be used for the convenience of a sling without altering the rifle. One advantage to this type is that it can be easily removed from the rifle when on ground or el...
