Will be on GB later today with ammo, dies and disassembly tool.

As my 80th year approaches, a MAJOR culling of guns and associated items is necessary.

Just to get your shorts twisted in a knot perhaps ? Seriously, YOU brought up headspace and I refuted you. Swapping barrels involves far more than headspace as I have found out from other members who are informed on the issues. Out of grade school for 60+ years and still having to put up with hall m...

Sorry to disagree, but 8s/81s were mass produce rifles with mass produced tolerances. 100% confident a 30 Rem bolt will work with a 25 Rem barrel or the opposite. The buffer springs are different (some 25s just have a piece of wood, no spring). I had a 25 and used resized 30 cases in it with no issu...

I sell on GB and that ad is a 100% POS. The Boone scopes were a "cure" for the top ejecting rifles. It was Weaver 440 quality (crap). Scoping a top ejector is easy with a scout scope as I have done with my 81 or finding a Stith offset mount for Lyman Alaskan. https://i.imgur.com/RgAKqqx.jp...

Headspace is not adjustable on the 8/81. The bolt face is the same for a 15 and a 30.
But I'm not sure the prize is worth the quest as my 81 30 is not a bad kicker and I doubt the 25 would do anything to improve the mundane accuracy.

Will a 25 Remington marked 25-35 from a model 8 interchange with a 30 Remington barrel from a M 81 ?

Simple fix is to anneal the case necks.

IF you know how to use a clip, they are great. Witness WW One.

There are auctions coming up with M8/81 parts for sale.
No I dont remeber which.

And now I just snagged NIB Stith 7/8" mounts for M141 and M81 and 94 Winchester.

Do I have to buy more rifles and Alaskans ?

7.62x51 is so much bigger than 25/30/32 Rem I can't believe a M-14 clip would work.

Took it off to range and ran some RP 150 gr loads down range.
No great surprises, 5 in 2" @ 50, 4" @ 100.
Once I get around to handloading it, things may get better.
Would love to find some of the stripper clips as it's a pia to load !

must be minty

Pls email pics bmi1960@aol.com

thanks.

NEWBIE HERE, WHAT IS THE KREIGER CONVERSION ?

I would not trust the posts and screws alone.
Mine has NASA epoxy under that whole long rail as well.

NEVER !!!! Use a lead sled on any rig like this. You'll either wreck the stock or the scope will come off. I can't believe a 32 rem in a 9 lb rifle kicks enuf to use a sled. Get a slip on pad and let it recoil. I have a sled for my 20 lb 338 RUM 1000 yard bench gun with a lam stock and brake. That's...

Bought them all plus 6 boxes of factory ammo. Set for life !

We've all seen the nasty side mounts jobs that both kill value and are rather unhandy. Got to thinking, why not a Scout Scope setup like Redfield used to make for the Winchester 94 ? One thing lead to another. I discovered a EGW rail for the Savage 25 has the same contour as the as the barrel sleeve...

Bought a nice 81 in 30 Rem and it is checkered.

Was this ever factory done ?

Is this still available ?
