Update here. I ended up buying a new spring from the gunsmith on ebay. As suspected the original spring was cut or broken by 1.5" I can say the new springs are well made and have nice finished ends to them. Highly recommend replacing your worn out springs with these well made new ones. Also aga...

Thanks for sharing this! Sending this to my relative to see if one of these will do it for him.

Hi Guys, Just talked with a guy on Ebay that makes new Recoil spring for the barrel assembly. He is also working on perfecting the bolt recoil spring too. He also can repair damaged bolt carriers where the extractor grooves have broken through. Name on Ebay is afsllc . Hope this can help someone dow...

I would check the website in the next few weeks. I was impressed by the descriptions given on the guns from the last auction. Most auction houses descriptions are lackluster, not the case with Wards. I'd advise against trying to contact Rem8&81 through the forum considering he hasn't signed on ...

Corey’s name on the Forum is “REM8&81”. He is also on “Ward’s Collectibles auction” under his name Corey Creamer.

Contact Corey Creamer for a model 8 in 35 caliber. I have given Corey several model 8’s on consignment to sell them for me. Corey is a member of the Forum and can be contacted.

Kindest Regards and good luck in your search.

What is Corey’s handle on here?

Hi guys, I have a relative looking to buy a Model 8 in .35 Remington. He is looking for something in nice condition with possible minor scratches etc. Should be a numbers matching rifle, and pretty darn original. Let me know what you have to offer, thanks!

1913Model8

This is fantastic!

1913Model8

I just used mine today to disassemble my 1924 Model 8. Some parts were frozen and took some convincing but, with a little Kroil and heat plus some perseverance the old girl came apart with NO damage to any parts. Well designed tool and a piece of art. I couldn't be happier! That is fantastic to hea...

Howdy John. No boredom here, i welcome any and all content Model 8 related. The auction pictures didn't do that one justice. You REALLY scored on a super early first year gun! I'm happy that you were able to secure it as the high bidder at auction and that it surpassed expectations. Now I NEED to f...

I did see that residue of varnish on sides of butt plate and figured possibly they varnished it with butt plate in place ??? Any thoughts or definitely an added coat. It certainly wasn’t sanded !! What does everyone think should do ?? Take butt plate off and clean off the varnish or just leave it ?...

1913Model8

What a score there John wow! Jealous and happy for you is all I can say! What a beautiful example of a Model 8. I'm glad you have that Model 8 service tool to help take a peek inside :D Looks like maybe someone at some time recoated the finish dude to seeing a little varnish on top of the butt plate...

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...

1913Model8

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...

1913Model8

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 ...

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.

Wonderful piece you have there!

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!

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...

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...

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...
