Went to my local big box sporting goods store for a new bag and noticed the ammo being restocked. I asked the fella if he had any 35 rem half jokingly. To my astonishment he said they just got in 15 boxes for the first time in 3 years. The price was outrageous, $47 a box, but I got a few and decided...

Thanks guys, took me awhile to put together. Was out at the deer stand at 6:30am to film that outro, it was pretty chilly out , 36 degrees F!
I'm considering buying a 81 in 300 Sav when I get the funds because I keep finding boxes of the stuff at gun stores. No 35 still from any store.

Made a video featuring my model 81 for fun. Hope I didn't get anything outrageously wrong.

That sling looks familiar to one a member here is selling on gunbroker. Is that where you picked it up?

Yup, its very nice.

The 1903 is my favorite pistol, very comfortable to carry and a very clean shooter

Oh man don't tempt me

Thanks guys ill check it out

Only place that has some in my entire state is three hours away with one box for 32$. I guess im going for a drive

Better chance looking for rain in Death Valley than Remington making anymore 35Remington. Remington as we knew it is no more.If it wasn't for Henry and Marlin lever guns being chambered in 35Rem it would probably have disappeared long ago like the 25,30 and 32's. Shame that you had to resort to GB ...

With that old of brass annealing may not help much. .35 Rem brass is readily available on Gunbroker and elsewhere. Sadly its probably ready for the recycler. The necks might give up on pulling bullets. Too old, too brittle. Im going to use one or two as a test and if it doesn’t work im just going t...

I decided to fire one round as a test, and yup as expected it split the neck. I guess ill need to invest in that bullet puller and anneal these cases. That being said im impressed with the rifle as i hit a steel target from 200yds away exactly where i was aiming. Cant wait for my reloading equipment...

Not trying to create problem where none exists.Just caution about what I have had occur with old brass in the past. The splitting of the necks occurs because as brass ages it gets hard and brittle and upon firing will break/split . Yours may be just fine and will more than likely function ok. If yo...

As the subject says im looking for a front sling swivel for my model 81 that screws into the barrel shroud. I know its probably a long shot that anyone has one.

Also if i do shoot a few rounds shoud i be worried about hangfires and squibs? Or do you think the powder has held up.

Thanks so much guys, was already tempted to buy a model 8 in .30 today but my judgment told me to save that money for ammo for the model 81 i already have.
Very happy to have found this forum.

I didn't pick up any, but i have his business card and he told me to call him for more. 35.
Thanks for the heads up. Could i reuse the roundnose bullets? Im pretty new to reloading and dont really know how to not ruin my brass.

I finally got ammo for my model 81 at a local show today. The seller gave me a very fair price on all his 35 remington. He also had the most 30rem i have seen in one place. Im excited to finally have some ammo in these trying times and it is all in very good condition. If by some miracle you post he...

Thanks so much, i have only reloaded 5.56 so im new to all this and i figured now is the time to learn.

Hello model 8 fans. i was able to find a model 81 chambered in .35 remington at my local gun store and decided to buy it. 1640834047250m.jpg The story i got was that the rifle was a local of my small towns heirloom gun and that the great grandchildren of the original buyer sold it for Christmas mone...
