Thanks Pax! Ive considered that, but even the stock original mags are hard to find. I just saw one go on ebay for over $400

Hibby,

Can you show me or have a diagram of a standard firing pin assembly? I’m not finding much anywhere. I hope to get my new firing pin and springs this week. I hope there isn’t any hand fitting required.

I don’t believe it has any stamps from POE. I was told it had been sitting in a gun locker at a small Sheriff’s department in Iowa. The department brought the gun in on trade to the local gun shop for a new AR15. Being that it is in such great shape it appears to be a department gun that got shot ve...

Thanks Hibby,

This is what I came up with. Now I just need to get my firing pin issue resolved, this is the slam fire culprit.

Here is another.

Pax,
I believe my Model 81 would take the 15 round Peace Officers Equipment magazine based off my research. Here are some pics. The gun is in fantastic shape!

I picked up a model 81 on GB a few weeks ago and completely tore the receiver and bolt down for a deep cleaning before heading to the range. I noticed in my disassembly that my model 81 is equipped with a 2 piece firing pin which I’m starting to believe I assembled incorrectly. I am having a hard ti...

Hibby, This was in fact my first model 81. I picked it up last Thursday...... I made it exactly 7 days before i picked up my second. :) I just placed the winning bid on another 81 in 35 rem on Gunbroker. The gun appears to be pretty clean but wont know for sure till i get my hands on it. Its not as ...

Looking to purchase a Peace Officers Equipment 35 Rem magazine. Or any information on where I might find one.

Thanks!

Greetings from Iowa, New member here! I recently came across a model 81 Woodsmaster in a local gun shop here in Iowa. I was told it was brought in on trade from a local Sherifs Department. I knew right away I was holding something special, I had never seen a model 81 with a detachable magazine…… I w...
