Very good craftsmanship on the rifle build. You did well, very well.

Re: New 81 in 32 Rem

Very nice collection of fine old rifles. Now I should get to the reloading bench and load up some .35 Remington for my circa 1947 M81 as I haven't shot it in a while. Again, nice collection.

Re: Stock screw won't budge

A gunsmith once advised a soldering iron to loosen screws. Apply a hot soldering iron tip to screw head to heat it. When screw is warm, remove iron, let screw cool. Do several times. Sometimes the metal expansion and shrinkage will break away/loosen the rust, dirt, debris, etc., holding the screw.

Re: new */81 Owner

Remington still makes .35 Remington, but it usually is a "season run." Like a great number of calibers, it is hard to find these days. The last .35 Remington I saw on dealer's shelves was Fall 2014 at the local Cabela's. Believe it was the 200 grain core-lokt. Sold out very quickly.
