No, they don't, I called them the other day. They told me it would be a 4-5 month wait.

panzerman

ah shucks, well I will continue my search then.

panzerman

Thanks much Sarge for keeping me in mind.

panzerman

That would be terrific! Thanks much.

After several years of running issues down various rabbit holes I have corrected everything but a missing cartridge stop on my Model 14 in 32 Rem. (Item #24 on the schematic from GunParts) I cannot seem to locate that part though; GunParts is sold out and so is everyone else that I Googled. Anyone h...

Howdy Roger, I shot you an email in case you did not have mine

panzerman

Howdy all, First off , Roger last year or so you sent me some fantastic loads for my 300 savage and in the move to our new house I have lost them. Do you mind sending them to me again please? Secondly is the rate of twist 1 in 10 for the 300 Savage? If so does this mean or could it mean that she wou...

I acquired a Winchester 1905 in 32 WSL recently, I know it is not a Remington Model 8 but it is an intersting little rifle plus it came with a 140 rounds of ammo and dies so it was hard to pass up. Back to looking for either a Model 8 or 81 in 35 Remington...

panzerman

Howdy, was wondering what folks were successfully using for reload data for their Model 81's in 300 Savage? What loads did she like and not like? I was shooting some factory 150gr Hornady SST but mine did not really like it so I figured I would ask what you all used here that worked.

panzerman

Got one!! A Model 8 in 30 Remington, she has been around the block a few times but I am excited!

panzerman

Thanks Gents, I found some on Reddings website but they were pricey. I had heard you could use 30-30 dies then I read a few sites were they said you could not. I should have waited for your response's here first but I went and bought the Redding ones. Roger, it was the one I was looking at on GB tha...

panzerman

Howdy all, I am looking for 30 Rem dies if anyone knows where I could find them?

panzerman

Hello all,
I picked up a Model 8 in 30 Rem and am looking for stripper clips. Does anyone have an idea where I might find a couple?

Thanks much,
J

panzerman

Still looking but narrowed it to a Model 8 in 30 Rem.....yes I live in CA as well.

panzerman

I am not a conspiracy theory guy, usually, but it does seem that the amount of misinformation is intentional and/or used as a scare tactic, rather effectively, in Cali as well as those outside Cali who might be inclined to sell to us?? So to make sure I am tracking; if I buy a C&R weapon from a ...

panzerman

I have run into an ever increasing number of sellers; FFL, C&R and no license folks that refuse to sell and ship to CA. If the weapon is C&R eligible and I provide a signed copy of my C&R what are the additional cost folks will incur by selling it to me in here in CA? My favorite listing...

panzerman

WOW yes it is pricey but I was able to find a few on Fleabay for about 50-77 each. Thanks though I appreciate the effort.

panzerman

thanks a million Roger!

panzerman

No worries, it was a good thought anyway

panzerman

Is the 760 old enough to bring up on this forum? I hope so because I was just given one by my brother and seems like it was built in 1959, it is in 35 Remington and has no magazine. i have struck out so far in my attempts to find a magazine for this rifle. Anyone have an idea?

panzerman

Yep me too! thanks Roger

panzerman

Could a weak spring in the ammo tube cause this??

panzerman

Took my Model 14 in 32 Rem to range today eager to shoot her finally but had a heck of a time with feeding issues. Either the round comes up case base first or if the bullet comes up first it still jams at wrong angle, lots of working and prying allowed me to shoot 6 rounds but that pegged my fun me...

panzerman

Hello,
I am looking for a Model 8 in either 25, 30 or 35 Rem to be a companion to my Model 81 300 sav and my Model 14 in 32 Rem.

panzerman

Oh crap, is there a cure? I got a hankering for a Model 8 in 35 Remington..........

panzerman

What is jackitis?

panzerman

Not a good photographer but here are some pics of her. No ammo or dies yet as they are in the mail. She has some rust flakes on the reciever and muzzle and stock is scuffed but those are just old battle scars, other than getting rid of the rust I will keep her as is. Really looking forward to shooti...

panzerman

About 6 weeks ago I picked up a nice Model 81 in 300 savage, it came to me as you see it in the pics. I was able to shoot 3" groups at 100m with some factory ammo after some trail and error with the peep. I really like it but need some practice with the redfield peep on her.

panzerman

Thanks to some advice on another forum I found some Redding dies for half the price of RCBS so am going that route.

panzerman

No worries dude, that the way it goes. I will keep looking, GAD's custom cartridges website states they will make them for a heckuva lot cheaper than any of the backordered stuff I found but I have not heard back from them yet so we will see.... I would think twice about Gad. The last few threads I...

panzerman

Rats, knew I should have held on to those 32Rems. a year or so ago got a deal on a few boxes by buying them all - sent them down the road a few weeks back to a couple of collectors. Wish I had more, I'd sure share them. No worries dude, that the way it goes. I will keep looking, GAD's custom cartri...

panzerman

i load for the 32 rem. i have one in a model 8 i use 33.5 gr. of imr4895 with a speer 170gr. and i also use 170gr. rcbs cast . i use 32 win. special dies, they work good. i use 30 rem. brass, just run them through your die to neck up. Thanks but seems these are scarce as well, but it does improve m...

panzerman

Yep I am finding that out..oh well I will keep plugging away at it, something should turn up sooner or later

panzerman

Have always felt the Model 14 was a neat old rifle though I have never shot one. I finally got one today on GB in 32 Rem. Now am on the hunt for ammo, I do reload but figured I could get a few boxes of ammo and use that as a brass for my future reloading. WOW ammo is pricey and all backordered right...

panzerman

Thank you, I will try that out.

panzerman

Ok, that helps a bit to hear. I appreciate the response.

panzerman

Does the bullet need to be crimped since it is an auto loader? Not sure WHERE I heard this but I do remember hearing some guy(s) telling me that most heavy recoiling autos need to have bullet crimped.

panzerman

Thanks to all! Roger, where did you find that calender?

panzerman

Again, I am reminded I need good light and glasses the number actually is 35054, I am sorry fellas!

panzerman

I just got an Model 81 and the serial number is 65054...how is that if the serial numbers ended with 55XXX?

panzerman

Saw a promotional picture as a kid of a guy rounding a mountain trail corner and coming face to face with a grizzly, he was carrying a model 8 or 81 and from that time forward I was in awe of that rifle. Maybe it is a childhood thing but what the hell, plus it is in 300 Sav which my Mom was particul...

panzerman

Just bought a Model 81 but it appears that the s/n is 65054 on left side of receiver, how can this be if s/n went to 55XXX??

panzerman

Just bought a Model 81 after a 40 plus year wait. Am excited to pick it up and continue my affair with it!
