Hey John T, it looks like a beautiful rifle. I’m sure if it could talk it would tell some great stories. I hate to be the one to point this out, but it appears that a case of jackitus has taken ahold of you. Please don’t take offense, it’s just an observation from an old man in Iowa. Thanks for you...

I did shoot it last Monday along with that C-Grade I bought and changed the bolt carrier on. I also gave the Kreiger conversion a go. They all shot nice with no malfunctions. I shot two clips 10 rounds rapid fire out of each gun. John

I guess from what Cam says there were quite a few mod 8-Ds made through the years enough so he stopped keeping track of them. Well here is another. This one is serial # 25924 made in 1911 but there is a twist ! This one is in 300 sav. It has a repair code of "DA3" which is either September...

Well I tackled the bolt carrier on the C-Grade today. As soon as I took the big spring out of the back of the receiver a little piece fell out !!! It was the big end of the firing pin so I am glad one was present on the bolt carrier I bought. I watched the take down videos on the site and all seemed...

Those are nice photos of a very nice, interesting rifle. Thanks for sharing them, John. I wonder if that aluminum piece is a repair of some type? I have never seen one like it. Well Dan you got my curiosity up !!! Nothing going on under the aluminum piece that I can see. I think he just did it to k...

Got lucky and spied this on a gun auction site back about a month ago at a very reasonable price. The little aluminum piece on the bottom of the magazine made me wonder at first but everything else looked correct so I went ahead and bought it anyway. I think the owner probably attached that piece so...

Happy New Year to you Roger and to everyone else on the forum ! John Taylor

One just sold on eBay a few days ago for $300.00. I guess if you had a Krieger conversion gun with no magazine it would be a steal or even if you had a magazine and wanted an extra they are certainly a hard if not impossible find. John

Have you ever sold something you knew was special but you needed the money and space it took up ???? Well I have done it more times than I like to admit !! Here is one of those TIMES !!! Back in around 2012 or so I traded a bunch of guns to a collector in Iowa. Some nice model 70 Winchesters pre 64 ...

These rifles had 26" barrels and the white lug cap covering the pin through the stock for strength.
They were also milled slots for muzzle brake from the factory they were carried on into the early 700 Safari's until 1963.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking ! John Taylor

These are a few from my other Remington collection bolt actions !! I have always liked any Remington rifle or shotgun but I especially liked the bolt actions from the Model 30s, 720, 721, 722, 725s and the early 700s !! Here are a couple of the rarest and hard to find Remington rifles that I own. Th...

Thanks for the compliment Bill !!! This gun actually came from Oregon. It is one of the nicest guns I have ever bought off Gunbroker !! Thank you ! John Taylor

I found a Lyman 41 R sight for a model 8 I have with holes already present with filler screws in them. The sight isn't mint by any means but will match the patina of the gun just fine. The sight however didn't come with screws. Does anyone know where I could find the 3 screws ?? Or maybe know there ...

From about 1996 through 2013 I shot a winter and sometimes summer muzzle loader league and we shot every other Sunday plus me and a few others shot at least once or twice a week on our own. I was putting the time in ! We also spent a lot of time on tuning the locks to make them fast !! That makes a ...

Great work and a fine looking flintlock John! From the looks of the target you had the load and hold for match quality. Your quarry stood little chance. Pretty cool you did some traveling for out of state hunts. I'd like brainstorm and make that happen for my neighboring states "ohio/new york/...

One last picture. This is back when my eyes were perfect and I had a good steady hold !!! Three shot group off hand at 50 yards !! I had a good day
