Re: Reloading lead bullits for the 30 Remington. Model 8

One thing about the Model 8 that has bit me twice now is. The barrel will come unthreaded. Found this while trying to get some lead bullit load going. The gun was shooting about a foot low at 25 yds. While cleaning it after shooting I saw the gap in the barrel/reciever. From now on i will try to che...

Re: tang peep sight for Rem. 8/81

I have one that I will sell you. The markings are "A T" on the curved base and "Pat July 26, 06 Oct 16 07" around the base of the knerled adjustment. I will send you pics if you are interested. It has no side adjustment so it is probably made by Lyman. $100 is what I paid for it....

Light loads may be fine for the 30-30 lever action guns but they dont cycle in my Model 8. I was using 3...
