yep that works foe me cam. that's how I load mine with no problems,,,,,,,,,,

olskool

my bore is very good. not new but very good for a rifle that is well over 100 years old. it shoots 85gr. nosler BT or 117gr. Hornaday RN great! I have it zeroed with the 117gr. and varget powder. with the 85gr I was using #3031

olskool

well the way I looked at it I had nothing to loose and everything to gain. it was ugly with no bluing left at all. and the process to remove the dent I made up, I never heard of it being done like that but it worked perfect! I love bringing old things back to life to live again, here is a model 14 I...

olskool

no it's not the original blue. I found the rifle about 10 years ago in a gun shop. it was pretty much in the white. but it had no rust and tight as a tick, just no bluing left and the wood was faded out but in good shape. it had one huge dent in the barrel jacket. I took it and dismantled it, I took...

I haven't shown this one in a wile. I had it out back on my shooting range the other day and took a couple of shots with the gun and a couple of shots with the camera. this gun serial # puts it about 1908 it is a sweet shooter,,,,,,,,,,,,

I would Cam but to be honest I think he is not trying to be truthful. I mean he told me he sold one just like it with the same checkering pattern 2 months ago, come on what is the odds he has ever had two with checkering much less two with that pattern. he can keep it,,,,,,,,,,,,

olskool

thanks Cam, I didn't think it was. when I told the man selling it I didn't think it was factory he told me he sold one 2 months ago just like it! I knew then the odds of him having 2 factory original checkering cut guns was bull! he probably has some ocean front property in Arizona for sale also,,,,...

thank you sir, and that is some nice wood on that gun!

here is the butt stock, it is on an auction site. I didn't

think it was right.

I need a little help, is the c

heckering pattern correct or has it been added?

olskool

sorry for taking so long to reply. the ideal # is 358515 the lube is beeswax and olive oil mixed fairly soft. sized to .360 and a light roll crimp on the crimp groove, that was my OAL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

olskool

a full charge of imr 4895 will do. that is what my 1927 model 8 likes with speer 170gr. just use 32 Winchester special data, you will be fine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

https://i.imgur.com/QtfwdiKl.jpg I thought I would share this load with ya'll I shot this the other day at 100yds off my bench with my 1933 model 8 in 35 rem. I used a old ideal 200gr. hp mold with 34gr. of #3031 and a fed 210 primer. I shot it at 50yds and cut a triangle 3 shot so I moved on to 10...

olskool

I have a 30rem. barrel assembly I put on my 32 receiver. that works great,,,,,,,,,

olskool

yes sir that is what I wanted. one of my rifles dates to 1927 and it dose not have the drilled jacket. but according to what the book says it should, hum, very curious. I don't think it was altered with another jacket, as I bought that gun from an old lady in California. the gun belonged to her dad ...

olskool

I guess nobody knows,,,,,,,,,,,

when was (the year) the sling swivel threaded hole added to the barrel jacket for the model 8?

good video pitchy, I love the 35 it is a hammer on deer. I have some with the peep sights, I do not like them. I shoot better with the iron sights.

that dose look like lipstick, but I don't think he could live with it so he died!

olskool

very nice, don't be fooled by "the modern calibers" the old 32 is just as potent and has all the knock power a 30-30 will ever have. I have killed several deer with mine and most fall on the spot. I use cast lead and the speer sp. with imr 4895

olskool

good job! nice deer and rifle.....

olskool

man that's great! it sure is a good feeling to take a deer the old way! God willing I will be in the woods in the morning. I killed one nice little buck this year with my new 1938 model 81 in 35 rem. it has been a while since I killed one with my 32 that is a nice gun you have to, great job. what bu...

well they aint so cool anymore, they aint there!

i shot this buck this morning with my model 81 35 rem. made in 1938, he was hot after a doe. I used a 200gr hor. flex tip with 35gr of imr3031 he was about 50yds broad side, it was a great hunt with a great old rifle.

I have a spare model 8 barrel in 30 rem. I would like to shorten to carbine length, how would I get to do that for me?

olskool

nice story packmule.

olskool

I have two sets of original swivels. but I just hate to drill on an original stock that has survived untouched for 78 years. but on the other hand I would like to put a sling on it. decisions decisions.......

Just won a 141 Gamemaster in 32 Rem on Gun Broker. Will be my first experience with the 32. It should mix well with my 8 and 81. These rifles are so addicting! I'll update when it arrives.

you will like that rifle, I have a model 14 carbine and a 141 transition model both in 30 rem.

I would like to put the correct sling swivels on my 81 that I have posted in the former thread (photos I promised) dose anyone think it will hurt the value?
