[quote="imfuncity"]Hole-ly eightyones Batman! - Need any more? Got some. :oops: While tearing it down you might check under the butt pad and see if the previous owner left you hints as to where the gun has been. Never found anything in any of mine but others have, can add some fun to the r...

I broke down the 81 this AM to see how she ticks................. :o Lots of parts laying on the bench when I was done. Couple things I found one good and one not so good. The not so good was the Williams Peep site was drilled and tapped into the reciever. The center hole was buggered up so it was d...

Jack, You are the one that built the Walnut case. Very nice, I love walnut but have a special place in my heart for cherry. 250 300 is kinda what I was thinking it would be. I have a kitchen job to look at this week and if I get that I think I can swing some cash over to the super secret Man toy fun...

Thank you Jack, Can you please give me a rough idea as to how much I can expect to pay for a 300 savage barrel assembly. I just need to set aside $$$$ in my unexplained outgoing fund.

Hi Guys, Been pretty quiet around here the last few days. You all still in your Loooooong winters nap :lol: So a quick question .

Will do Popgun. I will keep you all posted. Now its off to become a caffeinated carpenter.

Thanks Guys, Thank you Cam for Jacks link. It would be nice to find a wayward barrel in a .300 Savage as I may consider doing the same sort of thing. I was told that my 81 is a deluxe as it has the checkering on the hand guard and on one side of the grip. The case I am going to make is going to be m...

Thanks Cam,

I will post pic's today if there's time. I am a cabinet maker and finish carpenter and already have a design for a oak or maple break down case for the rifle. Saying that I am excited about my new 81 is an understatment . Rick

Hi All, First time posting here. I just two days ago picked up a 81 Woodsmaster. She was born in June of 1950 and sports a serial number of 55584. Two things I found interesting were a professionally inlayed brass ring on the left side of the buttstock, centered and about 1 inch from the buttplate. ...
