Couple weeks back I posted about finding a blessing under the buttplate of a 141. I was taking it apart because during reassembly of an early (1914) Model14 in 32 Rem chambering , the trigger assembly was giving me a fit. Wanted to compare with the later 141 to try and solve the problem. With that a...

Really one from the past...110 years. Really something to see the flair that people had with their handwriting.Afraid it won't be long and it will be a lost art with folks like us the only ones that can decipher it. Neat find. Ya never know. Joe

Sarge756

Wow! A one of a kind. The seller is a member here 'remcrazy' Bob Bruniger. I have one of his stocks for a restoration I`m doing. Does great work. Cam can probably tell you about who did the conversion. Should be a little more pleasant to shoot in 30 Rem. I think you did fine young man !! Joe

Yesterday I was working on a Remington model 141 I`ve had for many years. Have learned that you never know what can be found under old buttplates. Old hunting licenses,names of prior owners and once a hundred dollar bill have been there in the past. This time it was something special. It was a "Bles...

Measured one of my early Model8`s with straight stock. Without using calipers and just a straight rule it was 3.5-3 9/16 for the upper and lower tang. Without removing the stock it appears to be 1 9/16 between the tangs. Again eyeballed with a straight ruler. With a Silverhills stock you should have...

I don`t have a technical answer to your question. Sometimes you just get lucky. The two best Model 8 shooters I was fortunate to take care of for awhile now reside with MinnesotaDan and Bullpupone. I miss em and hope they are doing well in the frozen northland. Like you I`ve fiddled with rifles abou...

Rifleman..... Seller was pretty clear about what was factory (the 17 Federals) and the rest obvious reloads and stated being sold as components only. Agree with your policy on reloads. The price is not too bad with factory stuff $2 a round or better and brass going for a buck a piece. I havn`t shot ...

Better chance looking for rain in Death Valley than Remington making anymore 35Remington. Remington as we knew it is no more.If it wasn't for Henry and Marlin lever guns being chambered in 35Rem it would probably have disappeared long ago like the 25,30 and 32's. Shame that you had to resort to GB a...

Not trying to create problem where none exists.Just caution about what I have had occur with old brass in the past. The splitting of the necks occurs because as brass ages it gets hard and brittle and upon firing will break/split . Yours may be just fine and will more than likely function ok. If you...

Sarge756

Glad you are happy with your find. The 'Dogbone" Rem and the Win Silvertips are of course "vintage" aka old. One caution: with brass being at such a premium you may experience split necks when you shoot them. I ran into that with a couple boxes of 30Rem Red/Green box few years back. Rather than wast...

Welcome from NE Florida. Good that another of the rifles we love ended up with someone that appreciates it. From the photo it appears to be in good company. Don`t know your experience with reloading but if you are a novice then you could not have picked a better one to begin with. Powder choices of ...

Dan, I don`t have a 241 but this was good excuse to dust off my 24 . I get 5/8 inch center to center on it.Should be the same on a 241. This one has been the backyard varmit rifle for many years. I mounted a Weaver Cub 3x scope on it without drilling any extra holes. Used a Stith front tube and glue...

Hello Bob, Looks like a good job on the slings. I do a bit of leatherwork so can appreciate these. May have to add one to my collection. Few years back I bought a project Model 8 from a fella on another forum. Needed a full polish and rust blue with all the parts intact and no extra holes drilled or...

Thanks Dan, This one is on a par with the accuracy of the D Grade you bought from me. SIL was shooting yours when the cloverleafs were printed. My old eyes came close with this one @ 50 yards. Could cover the group with a quarter.Hope all good up there in the far North. We`ve dodged the hurricanes s...

Thought a follow-up on my For Sale listing of my D-Grade "Sophie" would be in order. Minnesota Dan reached out and "Sophie" now resides in the far North.

Just the tip of the Iceberg. The last lead smelter in this country closed in 2013. Competition for lead products with 90% going to battery production had the bonus benefit for the EPA of limiting production of ammunition and attendant price increase. Bought a battery for your car lately? Ammo not th...

You`re correct Hibby. On Fleabay "Bid Wizard" or "esnipe" is the way to go.
Joe

Sarge756

Ammo for the 35 Rem like most everything else these days seems to be in pretty short supply. Adding the caveat of "lead-free" to the mix in my opinion just feeds into that perfect storm designed to make it all the more difficult for us to use and shoot the firearms we have. I don`t know of any compa...

No offense Rifleman. All good. Again,I agree about overly engraved firearms.That being said if this one had every square inch covered with scroll it would still be worthy. As Townsend Whelen said "Only accurate rifles are interesting" certainly applies to this 8. Hope you saw the post including phot...

I agree Dan and I have searched but couldn`t find what they fit. It does have possibilities though. I have the front Stith scope mount for it and have played with the idea of fashioning a rear mount that would use the drilled and tapped holes.I have a good friend that is a master machinist that I be...

Rifleman,appreciate you taking the time to respond to the post. Your assessment of the detractors with this rifle are correct. You have reiterated what I included with the caveat that I wanted a prospective buyer to be fully informed. I share your distaste for guady engraving. Have sold a fair # of ...

Made the comment on another post re your 10 day wait that it might be time to look into a Curio&Relics license. After reading "Initiative 1639" it might have been a useless idea.

GRUMPA had it figured out. I bought a hundred pieces of the converted 308 from him few years back. It was everything he claimed . Have reloaded half of them several times and no problems.

Havn`t looked to see if they have 30 Rem also but the 32 is easily necked down for those on another post lamenting no ammo for their 30`s or glad they didn`t have one.

Phyrbird has given you a bunch of options. Remembering that 3 of the (New) chamberings for the 8 - 25,30 and 32 were essentially made to directly compete with existent offerings from Winchester- 25-35,30-30, and 32 win spl reloading our obsolete cartridges doesn`t have to require a lot of searching....

Glad to see some interest in this tool. I used it on my 'D' grade in 35 and really appreciate the solid feel with no wobble or chance of slips. Bonus is that with the jacket ring nut removed first and then the barrel nut the heft of the tool and rod down the bore the spring under tension is easy to ...
