Hello all, I'm posting to share a different barrel shroud disassembly tool idea with you guys. Before I begin, THIS IS ALL AT YOUR OWN RISK! I do not take any responsibility for any damage or injury that may occur when trying to attempt this! So, after a couple of failed attempts to create a more tr...

Thank you all for your replies. I have found my issue and the rifle is now working quite well. I pulled the barrel assembly apart and found that my barrel, shroud, springs, ect were all covered in a thin layer of grime and rust. After cleaning these parts extensively and lubricating them, the rifle ...

Hello, I've been shooting handloads exclusively through the rifle.

Hello, I have not resolved the issue with this rifle yet. I have been quite busy lately and have not taken the time to try any of the newer suggestions. I will be taking a look at it one of these days here soon. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again to everyone who is helpi...

Thanks for your replies, I definitely should try cleaning out the chamber with a cordless drill. I scrubbed it manually with a wire brush but I'm sure the drill would work 1000 times better. I'll also try the slow motion video idea. That's something that I never thought about. It would be interestin...

Thanks Roger, I appreciate you taking the time to reply and help me out. I don't know of any gunsmith that I could take this rifle to that knows much about these firearms. I'll have to dig around and see of I can find someone up here in Canada. It seems that anyone who knows a lot about the model 8 ...

Update: I have changed out the bolt link in my model 81 to a new one that I purchased from Numrich. Fired 3 rounds out of it and it jammed on every shot with the same stovepiping issue. Just curious if anyone has any more ideas. I'm starting to get quite frustrated with this rifle. I don't want to g...

Sorry for the late response. Thank you all for your thoughts and time. I am planning on trying to straighten the link and I will post my results after I have done so. If anyone has any more ideas they would be very welcome.

Hello again, I have just disassembled my Model 81 and I see that I have a slight upward bend in the rear small end of my bolt link. This sounds like the issue that Roger said he had with his Remington. I'm just curious if this is normal or if it is in fact the same issue that he is speaking of. Also...

Thanks for your replies, I will definitely be looking into both of these possibilities. I have a photo of what my jam looks like but when I try to post it, it says that my file is too large. I will post it if I figure it out. I'm still looking for other ideas as to what's wrong if anyone has any. Th...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and I figured that here would be a great place to get some info on an issue that I have been having. I have purchased a Remington model 81 in 300 savage and I'm having a hard time getting it to work properly. About 90% of the time this gun will not eject the spent c...
