no, it is too long

Did any of you see GunBroker auction number 932475426 that I won. I think I know the seller and have bought from him before. I also think CBR stands for Circle B Ranch which is well known for woodworking and maybe also metal working. The carbine version is enough, but to be the field trials version ...

Roger,
I have some 32 rem once fired casing, but I have lost your address. Send it to me at r.bowden@sbcgobal.net and I will ship them to you. Anyway, looks like you are doing fine. ROB

ROBOPUMP

It is a nice one, but did you see GB auction no. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/926343771
I should have bid higher, but I have had the same wife for 50 years. I did drool.
I thinck the rifle is worth more, but after taxes and shipping, it probably went at market price.

ROBOPUMP

What makes this a model 8-C as it is clearly marked in one of the pictures? https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/907021176 I thought grade "C" included checkered buttstock and forearm. Be safe and enjoy life.

ROBOPUMP

I have had some discussion with the owner and have pointed out that it appears to have a newer safety lever than it should. S/N 10 should have a "tear drop" safety lever in that it was probably produced the first day or two of production. The newer safety lever with the thumb piece on the ...

For those that have been around for a while, yes I am still alive and doing fine. Glad to see some new activity on the forum. ROB

I can still make two of these. I use a nut splitter tool and turn down the chisel to a pin that will fit in the hole of the barrel nut. It is adjustable and will work with all calibers. Price is $25.00 for the tool and $9.00 for priority one shipping in a small flat rate box. Let me know if this is ...

ROBOPUMP

It is a long thread, but I think is worth the read or reread. Concerning all the serial numbered parts on this rifle. I don't know why I did not think of this before. I think Remington had enough parts to build a rifle except for the receiver. The receiver was manufactured to use all the other parts...

ROBOPUMP

Be careful, there are two different ones. One for the straight stock and a different one for the semi-pistol grip.

I have a sister that lives in Roseburg. She is Dr. Polly Sepulvado. Her daughter is an ER doc at one of the hospitals. She is Jennifer Bodenhamer. My wife and I spent a week there and around Oregon in 2009. Crater Lake is awesome.

One more picture.

I finally received it today. It is serial number 2745 in extremely good condition and very tight. I had trouble just doing a take down and operating the safety. It is very tight. Bore is perfect. Almost no wear on the magazine follower which would indicate loaded very few times. Butt plate seems to ...

ROBOPUMP

Check this one out. I have not received it yet, but seems to be in exceptional condition for a rifle that is 111 years old. First type magazine, first type safety lever, correct original butt plate, serial number 2745, one of the first year rifles for 30 Rem-early 1907. I may post pictures once I ge...

I have a Williams FP-SSM. It is brand new in the box with all paperwork. I will take $55.00 for it shipped First Class USPS. Contact me if interested. r.bowden@sbcglobal.net

ROBOPUMP

Forearm escutcheon. I can make that for about $10.00. Send dimensions as they did vary according to date of manufacture.

Thank you for your time.

The forearm screw can be substituted with a 8-24 screw with a Fillister head about 5/8" long available from your local Ace Hardware or other hardware stores.

I have a lot of these parts listed on GunBroker.com

Be safe and enjoy life.

What a great find. I covet you, but not in a evil way. Congratulations. I have been wanting to check on you. How are you doing. I have some spent brass that I need to send.

Check out GunBroker auction httpsI ://www.gunbroker.com/item/741305605 It seems very strange that a rifle manufactured in 1920 would have had a hand engraved caliber on the barrel jacket head of 30-30 Rem(1907 vintage). As you can see, the serial number matches the receiver number and the barrel ext...

ROBOPUMP

I still make the tool, but the price is now $25.00 shipped. The price of the nut splitter has gone up. Remember I bought the first nut splitters on clearance.

Hey, I love that eye-bolt idea. I wish I had thought of that. Looks like about the cheapest way to make a homemade tool for our purpose. I have attached a few pictures of the tool I modified to make a barrel nut remover. It will work on all calibers. I bought a pair of nut splitter tools at Tractor ...

Probably just over tightened. But, if rusted, Give it a shower with Liquid Wrench several times a day for several days. It will loosen the rust. There are heavier duty tools out there, but are quite expensive. I bought a nut splitter set at Tractor Supply for $5.00. I then took the smaller one and r...

If you are referring to the barrel nut. Try to find a Winchoke wrench from Ebay or other source. It is a spanner wrench designed for the early Winchester shotgun chokes, but works great on the model 8/81 barrel nuts. Not the stoutest, but works unless the barrel nut is rusted in or over tightened. L...

I guess you saw I got out quite early. Hard to believe this one brought $2475.00. I think the highest I have ever bid on an exceptional rifle was $2000.00

Jacket head over stamped with 32 Rem? This rifle should not even have a jacket head stamp or engraved caliber on the jacket head. That was done away with about 1907. This rifle was manufactured and shipped in 1920. What say you Cam?

ROBOPUMP

It looks like this is a grade "3" or "C", not just a checkered grade "A'. John Henwood page 98 top of the page. What say you Cam?

ROBOPUMP

I addressed this a few weeks back. All you have to do is do an advanced search for the Remington model 8 and then select "exact words" and then hit search. You will get about 50 or so items just like the old GB search.

So we start with live ammo and you with your clip. I load the rifle and you load the clip. I have the rifle loaded and you have the clip loaded. You now have to load the clip in the rifle. Who wins? This all has to do with the time it takes to load the clip. I have only stated that I can load the ri...

ROBOPUMP

I am not saying stripper clips do not work. I am only saying there is a better way to load the rifle. I watched the video in the previous post and I and most others would say the guys had a problem loading the rifle with stripper clips. They did not show the trouble they also had loading the strippe...

ROBOPUMP

I don't know how many times I have posted this. Please do not waste your money on stripper clips. They are scarce because the old timers learned how not to use them. I can load the rifle much faster than you can load a stripper clip. When loading the stripper clip, you will probably overload and the...
