Yes, back when my eyes were good !! LOL ! This is my 4th and final Flintlock that I made and by far my best. The wood was a solid plank of Curly Maple. The barrel is a Swamped Colerain 54 cal with round bottom rifling. The lock is made by Davis. This was a labor of love. I gathered the parts and sta...

Here is my newest old gun. A model 8-D grade from 1911 or so. It's far from perfect, it has been used and hunted with for sure. Bluing has carry wear and some scratches here and there as does stock !! Checkering isn't as sharp as some but I do believe it to be all original other than a Lyman front s...

Thanks Cam !! I will give it a try. John Taylor

I did think it was the D grade. Not many of them out there!

Check your email.

System won't even let me post one picture. I bought a mod 8-D grade. Not real high condition but nice and original. !! John

54bullseye

Hi John Taylor here. I bought a new mod 8 and took a bunch of pictures yesterday then went to post description of gun and post the pictures and it said this (Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.) Just wondering if this can be fixed easily or not. I did resize pictures to the size I ha...

54bullseye

Well I am certainly a newbie to this site as many of you have probably realized LOL !! I get on the computer early in the mornings before work usually 3:30 to 4 am and check out gun auctions and gun forums for info and sip coffee for a couple hours to start my day. This morning I was looking at some...

54bullseye

Beautiful collection for sure !! I wish you could post a few close ups of each side of receiver on these guns as you can't really make out the beautiful engraving at that distance. Very nice !!
John Taylor

54bullseye

What a beautiful collection !! Congratulations !! John Taylor

54bullseye

Hibby83 To me not gamey in a bad way they just have more of a wild taste. There is sage out there you can see it in background of second buck. The Kansas whitetails are very mild meat as they eat all the good stuff corn, wheat, milo and alfalfa. I guess I just like the wild taste. Also beautiful cou...

Here is the following year 2016 Mulley taken in White Sulpher Springs Montana with the same rifle at 75 yards !! More my kind of shot !

John Taylor
PS: I like the more gamey taste of Mule Deer as well if not better than the Whitetails meat !

54bullseye

Here is a pretty nice Mule Deer I got in Forsyth Montana back in 2015. The shot was 385 yds and got it with a 1965 vintage mod 700 in 7mm mag. What a ball we had that year !!! Enjoy !!

Very cool old pictures !!! Thanks for posting ! John Taylor

I believe this is for a 14 .

I just bought this from a guy and it's the first one like it I have seen. Any body seen others like it ?? It looks like a factory made deal but I don't know ?? Any comment would be great.

I have been hunting the early muzzle loading season in Kansas every year since 1999 and have shot many nice bucks out there !! We just hunt private farm lands in south central Kansas and we have a lot of different spots to choose from as I have a friend who is an "agronomist" he gets paid ...

54bullseye

Thanks Bob !!! I will post buck pictures under "Just Hunting" now. Thanks John Taylor

54bullseye

Thanks Roger !! I really liked it even though the condition wasn't great. It was already in frame with glass ready to go. I have seen one other that went for big money at an auction but condition was much better. Thanks again ! John Taylor

54bullseye

Nice video ! Looks like you put some time into it. John Taylor

54bullseye

Last one. I wish you could blow pictures up on this site ?? Dunno why you can't . Thanks again for looking. John Taylor

few more

54bullseye

I wish I could post bigger pictures so you could see better detail but this is an old Remington poster I bought at an auction many years ago. It is a bit frail and tattered but what cool subject !!! Nice colored drawings of animals, early cartridges, and the guns of the era !!! I think it's from aro...

I feel for you I am near Sturbridge Mass and surrounded LOL !!!! John Taylor

54bullseye

Very nice !! Congrats ! John Taylor

54bullseye

Thanks for the reply Roger ! I am glad Robopump backed off because I was done to !! I do like the rifle and am looking forward to getting it. As far as the other one getting scammed on GB your right what a rotten piece of crap that guy or gal must be !! There is a lot of BAD going on out there for s...

https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/946325413

I'm assumed it was a scam!
Enjoy life, Bob / S andSHUNTCLUB

I just reported it on gunbroker. John

54bullseye

Wow same pics and all. How did they get it out of my safe LOL !! I guess I should let someone know ?? Never saw that before. John

54bullseye

Sorry chas1949 for mistaking you for Rifleman !!! My mistake but no harm done. I appreciate all the input on the C grade as I did win the auction and hopefully I can get it straight. Maybe not the highest condition gun but a very cool old Remington none the less !! Thanks to all. John Taylor

54bullseye

Thanks I saw that one it looks like it is getting bent up on one side to. I found one from my buddie Scott in NH he had a bolt carrier with firing pin and an extractor for a 35 rem so already ordered both. I hope that's all it needs. Thanks for the heads up. John Taylor

54bullseye

Well I guess I gotta find some parts for the C grade

John Taylor

54bullseye

Thanks Hibby83 !!! I can take a bit of criticism with no problem. I have paid to much for rifles in some peoples mind only to sell them for a handsome profit in just a short time so all is good !!
John Taylor

54bullseye

Very nice !! Plenty of fire power there. Nice pair of rifles !! John Taylor

54bullseye

TO ALL IN THE GROUP !! I kinda agree with chas1949 in what he said about talking about a auction listing before the auction has ended . The reason I did chime in this time was others in the group had already started the conversation and seeing how I was high bidder and my GunBroker name is the same ...

54bullseye

On the other hand you have probably been collecting model 8s for many years and managed to get a good collection when prices were MUCH cheaper !! Seems anything that is in real nice condition especially any high grade guns go for much BIGGER money now then just a few years ago. I am 66 and am new to...

54bullseye

Well thank you chas1949 for the drawing of where the sight should be mounted !! Now I see why Bob from S and S HUNTCLUB said it could split your eyebrow open :lol: I guess there isn't much that can be done about sight positioning now but like Hibby83 said having it mounted like that still allows it ...

54bullseye

chas1949 I understand what your saying about the wings on extractor and the slide would need to fit neatly into carriers groves so not to cause excessive wear on the grooves causing failure like it seems to have. I can also see if someone bent the extractor it would also cause excessive wear !! If I...
