Dang I backed out of the initial offering because of the US/kanada exchange rate but now my mouth is watering again :P Are you still willing to ship north of 49 TJ ? It would have to go USPS or I'd have to back off again Well of course we can do that. Do you need a quote on shipping? If so I sugges...

81police, Thank you so much for this fantastic review. We are taking great pride in making these tools. They are not a 1 hour job either, these are up to 8 hours a piece for everything depending on what you order. Labor of love and passion for these are what keeps the oil burning. We want everyone t...

As long as I am looking at this and thinking about it again here are more links I used a reference for refinishing stocks. I do remember I spent a lot of time researching and really thinking about what and how I wanted to do this without screwing it up. I did do it a little different than Larry Pott...

What was the original finish on the 1936 Model 81 stocks? I just bought one in 35 Remington and the finish on the stocks is a mess. Dents, scratches and scrapes but the bluing is excellent. Have any of you refinished stocks for the Model 81? How did you do it? The stocks back then might have been d...

Absolutely some of those will come out with steam and some elbow grease. Check out my website here of the pictures I took when I refinished my Model 8 a few years ago now. I followed the Larry Potterfield way of doing a sanded in finish and I could not be happier with the process. I was able to remo...

P.S.: Unlike the FN 1900 barrel tool which is high end the "Ramirez Spanner Wrench" copy of the original Remington tool looks very basic and easy to make (in the age of CNC). Why is it so difficult to get 20-30 wrenches made? Can't remember if I got a hold of you now but the tools are up ...

Yep, when the forums went down I had Dreamhost restore them. I'm still talking to them about a month's worth of missing posts.

Hi Everyone, I am starting to create a new store through the Printify store online. Will be based around all Model 8 Remington art, Apparel, Merch, etc. Prices are a little high on some of the apparel but other things are well priced. I like to create other art than automotive art that I usually do ...

Is there any chance of the owner taking that barrel assembly apart? I would be interested to get good images and maybe some measurements of the barrel cap teeth.

1913Model8

Wonderful piece you have there!

1913Model8

All gussied up. Burnt the midnight oil finishing my thorough cleaning. 81Police- It certainly didn't give any trouble and upon full tear down, cleanup was relatively easy.

I ordered a tool from TJ a week or so ago and finally got around to using it the other day. I have to say, this thing is absolutely top notch! You can definitely tell a lot of thought was put into the design and manufacturing of it. It works flawlessly! Favorite feature is the ability to remove the...

Congrats on your work and tool, looks very well made. Will have to contemplate possible purchase. One thing curious about, were the original FN tools caliber geared as yours is or were they one size fit all. Have never read about them being caliber sensitive. I assume by looking at the various shaf...

Hi everyone, I have a big announcement: After many years of thinking about making one of these tools and getting it into people's hands, I can now say I can provide these tools. :mrgreen: It's been a dream of mine now for 5 years to get this into reality. After many prototypes and trial and error, w...

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...

Hi J2m8-1909, I am currently working on this project still. Mostly getting the cost down. I will be posting a new post on a prototype that is finally made in metal. The body isn't exact to my drawing but it does work really well as originally intended by the FN tool. I can put you down on the list i...

1913Model8

Unfortunately not enough people interested to lower the cost down enough. 15 tools was till 200 plus from what I remember here. I was hoping to do more like a run of 35 tools which would help a lot on lowering cost. 100 tools and we would be at the 150ish per tool. I think I posted the cost in anoth...

Hi Everyone, I am thinking about creating a run of new old style ammo boxes. Example here I have Remington Kleanbore 170 soft point next to me. I think it would be cool to put reloaded ammo in these and use them or display them. I also have an old crate of Remington 30-06 Kleanbore but of course no ...

Shirts have shipped usps ground, keep a look out!

1913Model8

Yes they do, just to protect the art work for going forward. I didn’t want it directly on the art as that just doesn’t need to be right on it and clutter it up. For all the hot rod shirt I have done in the past the artist always gets their name and copyright on/next to the art

1913Model8

Here they are guys! the shirts are in and ready for shipping!
A few photos here are the examples you are getting in DTF (direct-to-film)
They probably have a small amount of residue from the art-to-shirt application process.
Shipping out tomorrow for those who have paid.

Just ran some numbers on quotes for is the pilot shafts where aluminum 7075-T6, no common shaft, meaning one part to make a shaft for each cal. so as everyone would get a set (25,30,32,35) the tool comes down to $250.

HI Everyone, Just was doing some thinking here on a compromise tool design for a barrel service tool. I took what I have for the FN Tool and comped it to making it work with a 3/8 drive ratchet tool.

Thanks for the PMs to prompt me to reply - I'm not visiting the site as often lately, too much to do while the weather is nice!

What is your reciever serial number just curious?

1913Model8

What a bummer for sure but it doesn't look like a throwaway for sure.
If you had really bad worries I would bring it to the gunsmith and have them check it out.
Maybe Magnaflux it for the crack or something?
Maybe they can weld-fill it and machine it flush again?

Hi Guys, Little teaser here with the exploded view and part numbers listed to it.
The logo I made also that could be laser engraved on the top of the tool. It's about $9 extra per tool main body to have it put on there.
Let me know if you all vote for that being put on there for extra money.

1913Model8

I will put my name in the hat. With that said, is there a minimum number that is required for the run? Is there a number that will drop the unit cost? Awesome thanks for adding your name to the list!
