My Model 8s sister
My Model 8s sister
I posted pics of my Model 8 in the welcome wagon. Here are some of the 81 which came home with her.
She has some issues. Notice the screw in the safety and the hole drilled next to it. Some genius trying to tighten it up I assume. When I disassembled the bolt i discovered that the firing pin retaining pin was broken and the FP was held in by a broken piece. I have a new safety on the way but will be making the retaining pin as there are none out there.
Lots of rust spotting.
But i like her anyway!

Re: My Model 8s sister
You're gonna get her running right! Even though it's got some issues, that's a great looking 81. Perfect compliment to your sweet-cherry-pie pistol grip 8!
