Hi everyone, I have been working on a few new things to go with the tool. I am now offering a wood round stand and a square stand for displaying or storing the tool. These all hold master kits. I also have a 3d printed case that holds a full master kit enclosed. It will not let shifting of all the p...

What a fantastic post guys! What an awesome piece you have there! Nice photos, I had no idea this was even a thing with these model 8's. What the wood finicky to put back together? The condition of that rifle looks really nice. Dare I say perfect patina? Thank you so much for the callout with my too...

Hi guys, I have redone the bluing on the 2 previous tools, plus added another one to the drill. I have successfully rust blued the tools in 8 cycles without any visual flaws within the bluing at all. I hope to have a few for sale soon! I need to get caught up on more stock. This one in the photo is ...

1913Model8

I have been playing around with Rust Bluing on a few items. Learning alot, mostly that the damp box controlled conditions will make this process much easier. I have a page on my site talking more in depth about this. I am planning on offering Rust Blued tools soon. I invite your thoughts and questio...

Welcome to the group! There are many knowledgeable guys on here, with many years of experience. This site has just about every piece of info you could need. Enjoy!

1913Model8

Absolutely love these Cam! I might have to do the one where he is looking in the window at the beginning of the movie looking at are tool on display with the rifle!

1913Model8

If I am following this correctly, I wonder if all calibers/ gauges are the same tube size or if the ID/OD are different? Sounds like this is possible or not. Interesting.

1913Model8

Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to let you know that I have 1 tool available for discount that has a flaw, and I am reducing the base price by $25. The handle hole in the tool body is sloped. Not by much, but it is noticeable. Shoot me a message if you are interested, and I can send you pictures ...

1913Model8

I absouletly love this!

Merry Christmas too all.

1913Model8

I do believe that the guy on eBay I found, who is making the recoil springs, actually makes or repairs the extractors for 8 and 81's. Message him, and I am sure he will respond quickly about what to do. Hibby is right, the main menu has basically all the info you will need in the service manual, and...

1913Model8

What a score. The bluing looks great on the rifle. Just curious how much they wanted for the .30 Rem? I am sure that Hibby or Police 81 will have some good info for you. Again Fantastic find!

1913Model8

Curious to see what people have to say on this. One day I plan to acquire one of these, so if I run into the issue I shall now know myself

I love the quote you have also attached.

1913Model8

Thats fantastic to hear! Glad that info could help. Also a fun fact to know.

1913Model8

Thank you for the info Hibby. Maybe this is really all I need, then down the line. I'm in the stage of learning more about reloading and all the tools that are out there and available. Sounds like what you have there works well.

1913Model8

Hi there, I did speak to a guy on eBay who is making recoil springs for the Model 8 and 81's. He said he was in the works on making the bolt action springs as well, but they are not ready yet. You could message him and see what he has to say. https://www.ebay.com/usr/afsllc afsllc = seller name. Ano...

1913Model8

Hi Guys, I am looking for some answers on where I might be able to find some reloading tools. No rush or anything like that. Just curious if anyone out there has old equipment they do not need or want anymore for .30 Remington, or knows of some good tools out there for this ammo size. I am aware tha...

Hey Tony, I just drove by Camp Ripley today, coming back from our place up by Longville. The Minnesota buck that I got this year was out of Moose Willow WMA. I got him with a 35 Remington out of a Marlin 336. We usually hunt on the east side of Leech Lake, but I decided to take a different approach...

I think about this one myself with the old shotguns that used to be my grandpa's, and further down the line. Lots and lots of ducks and grouse. It would be so interesting to know.

Update: 10-14-25
I have 8 tools on hand right now, and I have 2 people on a list that I have not heard from in quite a few days. You can make your purchase at the website or on eBay. Note that it always will be more of a cost on eBay due to their fees.

1913Model8

Update: 10-10-25, Hoping that Sunday 10-12, we will have more tool bodies in hand to be ready for finishing and shipping.

1913Model8

Thank you so much for your kind words and review of the tool!

I, too have a stock and forearm on an old gun that one day will have to be replaced from lots of use and water damage, warping, and splitting. I found this link below that might interest a few of you. Looks like a fun project! can't wait to see the finished result. I alos have a guide on site with r...

1913Model8

What a great find you got there, and welcome to the forum!

1913Model8

There is an older post in the troubleshooting section called (Found A Guy) that sounds like maybe there is chance that it can be repaired also. I bet the new/old bolt carrier you have coming will work just fine but if that guy can somehow repair the extractor grooves like the post mentions, he can ...

1913Model8

I wonder if Cam has any info on these buttplates? Its amazing the damage one can see on a barrel nut bushing, as well as the jacket.

1913Model8

Hi there, I understand what you are saying. The only time I have had resistance is the old spring I had was broken (didn't know it at the time) on one end and it would get under the washer and put resistance on threading the barrel nut cap on. For the sound not being there that's a new one to me. On...

I appreciate it he was a good man and a dear friend. I also have a 1913 model 8 in 30rem that’s been in my family since new.

Hey guys, gals, I officially received my issue of the magazine, 3rd quarter RSA Journal. The Ad looks really great in the issue. Couldn't be happier with it. I hope that it will reach out to many of the people that do no know about this site of Cams as well as the tool no being made.

1913Model8

Welcome to the forum! I have no doubt that Police81, Roger or one of the other member that are actively on here will be able to give you more information on this. It wonderful that you will be able to be the next caretaker of that cool piece of history. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for all of the helpful replies. I had no idea that RCBS had this unconditional guarantee, kind of like Leupold does.

That's actually really great to know! Thanks.
