Re: Ontario New Member

Would be nice to have a picture of the rifle. A straight butt stock screams it’s a model 8 but would like to see the front stock. Sounds like someone else lost the original retaining screw and possibly used a model 81 screw or had found some other screw that worked.

35 Rem Buck

Had the Model 8 out two of the days and my 7mm also two days, but on the 5th day switched to the 336 and this guy happened to walk by.

Re: FN and Model 8 magazine interchangeabiltiy

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 p...

Re: FN and Model 8 magazine interchangeabiltiy

Got an old bolt carrier in hand right now. It’s one that the extractor grooves had that problem with chipping but as I look at it and compare to you’re picture it look like the rails on you’re one had broken off right at the solid part of it, on mine the rails protrude like three quarters of an inch...

Re: SPAM, SCAMS & MALWARE ?

Well, Cam just got me back on the sight, but all my history is gone. I think what happened is about a week ago I had made some dumb comments on one of those spam posts. It was all written in Russian and I made some flippant remarks about them to speak English. Then all of a sudden My login didn’t wo...
