New Rem Model 8/81 barrel tool for sale (Second batch is ready for sale)
UPDATE:
The first "production" batch of 25 tools sold out. The second batch of 25 is now ready for sale.... and of those only 8 are still unspoken for. I'm asking $95 which included shipping, and one operating handle "protector" cap. If interested in one of this batch, send an email to cantgrowup@hotmail.com.
I have designed and commissioned a custom Remington Model 8/81 barrel shroud removal tool for sale. It utilizes one end for removal of the barrel nut (using a extended tip set screw) and the other end for removal of the barrel jacket bushing. A .30 cal. nylon jag (8-32 thread) is included for centering the tool in the barrel. Either end of the tool will accept jags. Other 8-32 threaded jags can be substituted for other calibers. The handle is secured by an O-ring and the tool easily breaks down without tools.

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
You need to comission a tool like this because your tabs will break when trying to loosen a stubborn BJB. I use a machinist square ruler of the correct thickness with a large adjustable wrench in place of the tool shown because it is not available

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
I can understand that. I like your suggestion of using a ruler and crescent wrench for a stubborn rusted up bushing. My tool is more for normal barrel assembly work. I broke down the barrel assemblies on all of my seven 8/81s the first time using a friend's die wrench tool with an insert that had little tabs on one end and the set screw on the other. I didn't like having to loosen the die wrench screws and flipping the insert to switch operations. The little tabs worked on his tool, so I followed the same rationale.

That is a great looking "combo" takedown tool! I'd love to see some members get them and review them. I bet it works really good. Are you going to advertise these outside the forums?

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
Well... to be honest with you I figured if I couldn't garner enough interest in the only website dedicated to Remington Model 8/81s for a new barrel takedown tool, then there isn't much value in marketing outside of the the forum.... or hope in making more than the remaining two prototypes. Apparently no one needs a new takedown tool.
Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
Although this site has a ton of members, only a few are active & fewer post. I get inquiries frequently about take-down tools. Next one I get i'll send your way. Keep this post on-going. Every 8/81 owner needs 1 good take down tool.

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
I bought the tool I use, which is similar to this one, on eBay. Might be a place to go.

I would try an eBay listing eBay has a lot of traffic compared to one forum.Bandersnatch wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 4:06 pm I bought the tool I use, which is similar to this one, on eBay. Might be a place to go.
Once these Model 8 and 81 Rifles have been disassembled and thoroughly cleaned there's really no reason to take the barrel assembled back apart.

Many thanks!

There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
For anyone considering getting one of these. Mine works great. No complaints. And seeing how hard these take down tools are to find, it would really behove you to get one. Before I had the tool,I was having issues with my gun cycling correctly. After getting the tool and being able to see my barrel, it was clear as to why. There was an old yellow greasiness on the barrel that was making it have a delay in the back and fourth motion of the barrel. So this (in my mind) is a very essential tool for any model 8/81 owner.

I would like one of your tools, please let me know if any are still available. Thank You

Hey guys,

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale
I will be receiving the next batch of 25 barrel shroud tools from the machine shop in the next couple of weeks. I already have a waiting list of eight or so new customers, but if you'd like one of these tools for your Model 8/81 "ladies", drop me an email at cantgrowup@hotmail.com. I still have not received the final invoice from the machine shop for this first production batch of twenty-five tools, so I'm not exactly sure what the new price will be. The 3 prototypes that I sold were $80 plus $9 Priority Mail S&H. This next batch should be priced similarly.
Obviously, there is not a huge market our there for Remington Model 8/81 tools. I basically took this venture on to satisfy my own requirements and to help out fellow collectors. This was not conceived of as a money-making enterprise. I doubt that there will be enough demand to make a third batch of tools.
Because I now own nine of these Model 8/81 rifles myself, they tend to crowd each other in the gun safe. The protruding bolt knobs on these guns are bad about trying to scratch their safe-mates. So, I did some research and found some soft silicone bolt knob protectors that are perfect. They slip on easily but are undersized just enough to where they don't fall off. I had to order 100 of them for the minimum quantity, so I'll throw in one free knob protector with each barrel shroud tool. I will be asking $1 for each additional bolt knob protector. (Note: Lowe's and Home Depot don't have the necessary size! )

Re: New Rem Model 8 barrel tool for sale (Next batch is being made)
I am definitely interested in one of these tools. I just inherited my Grandfathers 300 Savage Model 81 and I'm certain it hasn't been apart, fired or lubricated for more than 60 years. Action operates smooth and barrel looks pristine but I want to get it apart for much needed maintenance.
I'll be sending an Email.

Re: New Rem Model 8/81 barrel tool for sale (Second batch is ready for sale)
I received mine very quickly from Mike, and it came with instructions and all as stated. I did use it yesterday, but as recommended I used a steel square slide from a tri square for the initial break free of the bushing on the 81 just received. Both ends worked as intended, quality is good and while I wont need it often it will be nice to have when I do need it. Its a dang nice tool.
Thanks Mike!
