Beautiful rifle. I'd soo have one. PAX

I found my WASR 10 mags. Only one 180 grain fit to extract/feed. They are short enough but too wide as well by a fractional amount. Looks like they have potential if you know how to melt steel. Prolly good candidates for cannibalization. Some old bolt gun mag should work too. I thought about the WAS...

Sam, your dilemma piqued my curiosity, and I did a quick inventory of stuff I have. Just eyeballing cartridges, it looks like the 180 grain .35 is about the same dimensions as a 7.62X39, the 200s are longer (i have some 180 & 200 in.35). I've got a mess of WASR10 mags. I didn't try loading any 1...

You can use yours as a template, kinda, to fab something in .35REM. PAX

Great looking M81 Sam. Now you have something physical to help visualize the mag issue on the POE gun. Seems like the most doable, might be to make a stock mag fit the POE trigger housing, detachable or fixed. You can prolly actually find a stock mag. PAX

Sam, is your obviously POE modded rifle stamped POE or any Agency as City property or paperwork? PAX

Can anybody tell what style/make of detachable mag modification was used on Sams gun by the photos" PAX https://thegreatmodel8.net/?page_id=659 Preview the link above. The gentleman selling should include more pictures to compare. It appears that this rifle was* equipped with a Peace Officer E...

Does look nice, sent you a PM, PAX

Hello, do you know what model of mag and the capacity it should be? Thanks, PAX

Got one ordered from Hibbys associate, thanks H, PAX

Good to know, PAX

THAT'S VERY COOL M8 FELLAS, NICE WRITE UP. THANKS, PAX

I'd like to get a swivel from him as well, PAX

I really don't know but I think it may have been, since some M8s and all M81s are so tapped. PAX

No Doc, it's for the D&T hole about 6 inches ahead of the forearm on the sleave, like this from the Woodall collection ad. PAX

I just happened on the SC as I was perusing the shops. It was marked as milsurp, $200 bucks. I snapped it up at that price. It was so well done I thought it was G&H. I sent them some pictures of it. The archivist was kind enough to point out the differences but did comment on what a superb built...

Don't reload yet, I've got a Lyman All American 4 station turret and dies for my primary calibers. I'm running a '52 Savage 99F in .308 and have bimetal for that already. But while ammo was cheaper, (before the Ukraine war), I'd bought bulk every quarter for a couple decades. PAX https://i.ibb.co/mV...

Hi, is this still available and are you up for any horse trading? PM phone #, Thanks, PAX

Hi Fellas,

Looking to mount a sling on my new love. Thaks for any help, PAX

Hi John,

It's the same BS here in Kali, even an antique needs a 4473 but no wiat for the buyer, PAX

Doc, I finally quit buying any inexpensive Chinese SKS (not many these days) and doing evil thing to them and started upping the quality of what I went after, Hakim, Russian steel, FN49. I'd been after an M8 but happened on this M81 right after I sold an Albanian SKS, so I just swapped ducats for th...

Couple quickie closer views of my new ride. I'm likin it a bunch. Prolly done by a fella that also did work like this post WWII Smith-Carona at the bottom.

Glad to make my way here with some legitimate cred,'48ish M81 in .35 REM, William's rear, Lyman hooded globe front, checkered wrist & forearm. I have/had other JMB designs, A5s (Sweet 16, Mag 12 & light 12), and a few 1911s. I humped an M8 in .30REM my first couple deer seasons in the Sierra...
