Sale Pending. I'll update when it's final.

Thanks,

One more picture.

This .30 Remington ammo is surplus to my needs. All four boxes are full of factory ammo that should fire and function fine, although I can't guarantee that they will. The pictures should answer any questions, but please let me know if they don't. $225.00 for all four boxes, shipping by UPS to ConUS ...

Doctor596,

Welcome! That's a nice one, as I can see the diamond in the rough.

Where are you in CA? I'm in the Central Valley, near Fresno.

Regards,
Jerry

Here's a good (bad) example of how not to keep a record. Three different sets of notches for deer, coyotes, & bandits?

Very cool. I hope you two can spend many more years together hunting and making memories.

No dog in the hunt but I see some 35 Remington brass for sale on the 24 Hour Campfire. Price seems fair (all things considered) and it was just listed. Maybe someone here can use it.

The Lyman tang sight with a letter code D is for the Winchester Model 1894 in 32-40 & 38-55, maybe other calibers & maybe even the Model 1892 in some calibers, but definitely not for a Marlin 1893.

Midway shows to have Redding .32 Remington dies available/ships today for just under $80.00 plus shipping. I don't know if you consider that reasonable but it's better than the RCBS dies for $150.00. They show up on ebay once in a while. I got a nice set of Hollywood dies in .30 Rem. for around $35....

Joe, Thanks for all the information on my rifle. I knew the 3 on the barrel and receiver meant it had been back to the factory for repairs at one time but wanted to be sure I was reading the barrel date and serial number right. I've seen the Lyman and Marbles sight blanks but they have all had a poi...

I forgot to add that the serial number stamped in the buttstock is 4100 4 (with the spaces). I can post a picture of that if need be.

Thanks,
Jerry_H

And the final two, unless you need more with details.

Really hope I didn't overload anything posting this.

Thanks,
Jerry_H

Two more pictures.

Here's a new one to me. I think I've deciphered some of it but need help from the experts. In addition to the pictures I will say the bore is quite good with a couple of dark spots that may clean up. The wood is proud of the receiver (for the most part) on the buttstock. It's marked 30 REM. on the b...

No dog in this hunt. Looks to be a reputable seller with .30 Remington brass for sale on the 24hourcampfire forum. Fair price but no mention of manufacture brand.

I double dog dare you!

Here's a couple of pictures of my Model 14. It was made in 1917 and is chambered in .30 Remington. A lot of the bluing is worn off and the buttstock is a little rough, but the bore looks perfect. The rear sight is a really cool King Model 200 and the front is a King also. I hope to get her to the ra...

Not sure about posting the pics but know from other websites that if you preview your post the pics will be lost. As far as the PM's, you need to be logged in, then go to the upper left of the page and you should see where you can click on messages. This "help" comes from someone who reall...

I'll take the repro buttplate that you offered me. Also will take the .32 Redding dies and the .32 Remington brass.

Give me a total and let me know how you would like to be paid.

Thanks,
Jerry

dagwood44,

PM being sent.

Thanks,

Joe,

Thanks for the link. That truly is one beautiful outfit. I especially like the attention paid to all the small details.

I wasn't planning anything that elaborate, but it does inspire me to continue on.

Thanks again,
Jerry

Were the barrel assemblies on Model 8's & 81's hand fitted to each receiver or are they able to be installed on a different receiver without any worry of headspace problems? I realize you would need to stay with the same size cartridge head because of the bolt. I just thought a switch-barrel rif...

Sarge756,

I know I'm pretty new here, but if you do have some .30 Remington brass I could use some too.

Thanks,
Jerry

81police,

Thanks for the reply. I see the repros for sale and will probably go that route.

So what does my buttplate belong on?

Thanks,
Jerry

What is the right buttplate for a Model 8 of 1909 vintage? My 25-35 has no stock and I would like to find the right buttplate for a replacement stock.

I have this one but don't think the it's right one. It seems to me I've seen one like it but with the Remington logo on it.

Thanks,
Jerry

Thanks for the lead on a stock set. I'll be contacting Bob right away. I've waited long enough to get this one shooting. Might as well do it right.

OK. Not all of my pics posted. I'll try again.
