Lyman 1A for Rem Model 8. Couldn't get other photos to load file too large. Happy to forward additional send me a PM. Excellent condition. No screw. $250 Shipped Thanks,Joe

Sarge756

Sent you a PM

Sarge756

Sorry. Didn't see your earlier post and replies about your rifle . I located two I have but they are for 7/8 inch tube scopes such as Lyman Alaskans or Norman Ford Texans. Thought I had a couple for one inch tubes like the K3 Weaver you have. I'll keep looking. Joe

Sarge756

I have a few. What scope are you planning to use? Joe

Sarge756

Have a couple extra Stith sets with screws. The screws are 6-48. Couldnt find my pitch gauge but did a side by side with a 6-48 from my Weaver scope screw kit and it matches up.

Ok. Fumble fingers figured it out maybe. Little "X" on message. Geez have to go one by one. Was looking for Delete All!!

Sarge756

Ok the confuser has me confused. Says PM's full 50 out of 50. Will not let me see message. Says it is on hold . Says release hold but no where do I see how or way to delete. Sure the message about paying for shirts but can't get it. This is giving me a headache!!!

Sarge756

Been awhile and looks like some folks need to step up and order a shirt to get this done. Heck, over a months time we probably tip more than what these cost. I'll step it up and double my order to two (2) xxl .

Joe

Sarge756

Glad to be able to sign on tonight !!

Sarge756

Looks good. I'm in for a 2XL @ $33. Thanks for your efforts on this. Joe

Sarge756

A 2XL for me. Still looking forward to photos of "test shirt".

Looking forward to photos

This link to seller on 24 Hour Campfire forum for those in need. Seems like a reasonable price shipped. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthrea ... st18391500

Thanks for doing this work. I vote for #1. Hats in Remington green would be welcome too.

I`m with you on this Jack. I`ve waxed my firearms for years but used good ol Johnson`s paste furniture wax. Have a 2 lb can that`s been around here forever. I had read reviews on Renaissance wax and many comments on other forums about it. Thought was kinda pricey for the amount in the can. Ordered a...

Sarge756

How fortunate to have one this nice and know the history too. Pardon for my assumption on the bluing. Would not hesitate to recommend Turnbull. I have never sent anything to them but few years back did own a Savage 99 short rifle in 303Sav that came out of his shop. The wood and metal were outstandi...

Sarge756

Larry does have some great tips. I`ve done the sand in method on countless stocks past 40+ years and never been disappointed. Learned the process from John Kay @ Winchester Restorations. Used his pre 64 oil to do several but switched to another product years ago. Drying time was the issue with John`...

Sarge756

John, My first step would be to contact Joe @ Aperturesnmore.com He should be able to help you with the screws and may have the aperture for your sight. If not the filler screws you have will give you the correct pitch and then just a matter of finding a fillister head screw of correct size. Pitch a...

Have seen on a FB 35Remington Group post that there is Winchester 35Rem ammo with 200gr PowerPoints being offered at several outlets : Bass Pro, Cabela's etc. Yes, it is pricey @ $3+ a round.....Ouch ! Is what it is if you don't reload. Joe

Sarge756

Great work. Shows skill and patience. Would be grateful if my eyes had been that good ever and my hold that steady in offhand.
Good shooting, Joe

Sarge756

Mike, Have some lino that my brother used for casting years ago. Guess with digital news etc that there wont be much call for lino anytime soon. Give it a few years and it will be on Fleabay as rare and collectable.The World keeps turning. Joe

Sarge756

Mike, My stash getting depleted.Not finding anything in stock recently. Midsouth shooters supply has a Lee 6 cavity mold for 200 gr flatpoint .358. With the sizer and 1000 gas checks the cost just over $100. Might be an option. Joe

Sarge756

Roger, They "got around to our rifles " a long time ago. The fact is, that they are after YOU to fall in line and the type of firearm has very little to do with it.Most of the brain trust that is behind this agenda wouldn`t know the difference between an AR15 and a Model 8 if their life de...

Sarge756

Have seen several posts recently on a FB Group for 35Rem and other forums that 35 Rem Hornady ammo was becoming available through different venues. Prices from low 40`s to 50`s for 20 rounds with shipping extra if on line order. Your $47 a box local would seem to be in the ball park. There was recen...

Ken, You are correct about commonality !! As I said this one had been apart 4 or 5 years. Few photos I had taken when I disassembled it lost when hard drive fried . Learned lesson...print photos and keep a folder. No u tubes or print instructions found Schematics were for the 520A the slick top you ...

Sarge756

While I was helping Jack get a scope for his FN I finished a project that had been put aside for several years. The polish and blue were done 4 or 5 years ago and been waiting on me to do the wood. It is my favorite John Browning design shotgun, a Sears "Ranger" 16 gauge aka Stevens 520, T...

Sarge756

What a great opportunity to assist Jack with scratching an itch that had been bugging him for years. A small payback to someone that has done so much for all of us here. It was fun finding a proper scope for this fine rifle and figuring how to get it mounted. My bud Joe is a wizard at solving proble...

Sarge756

Couple weeks back I posted about finding a blessing under the buttplate of a 141. I was taking it apart because during reassembly of an early (1914) Model14 in 32 Rem chambering , the trigger assembly was giving me a fit. Wanted to compare with the later 141 to try and solve the problem. With that a...

Sarge756

Really one from the past...110 years. Really something to see the flair that people had with their handwriting.Afraid it won't be long and it will be a lost art with folks like us the only ones that can decipher it. Neat find. Ya never know. Joe

Sarge756

Wow! A one of a kind. The seller is a member here 'remcrazy' Bob Bruniger. I have one of his stocks for a restoration I`m doing. Does great work. Cam can probably tell you about who did the conversion. Should be a little more pleasant to shoot in 30 Rem. I think you did fine young man !! Joe

Sarge756

Yesterday I was working on a Remington model 141 I`ve had for many years. Have learned that you never know what can be found under old buttplates. Old hunting licenses,names of prior owners and once a hundred dollar bill have been there in the past. This time it was something special. It was a "...

Measured one of my early Model8`s with straight stock. Without using calipers and just a straight rule it was 3.5-3 9/16 for the upper and lower tang. Without removing the stock it appears to be 1 9/16 between the tangs. Again eyeballed with a straight ruler. With a Silverhills stock you should have...

Sarge756

I don`t have a technical answer to your question. Sometimes you just get lucky. The two best Model 8 shooters I was fortunate to take care of for awhile now reside with MinnesotaDan and Bullpupone. I miss em and hope they are doing well in the frozen northland. Like you I`ve fiddled with rifles abou...

Sarge756

Rifleman..... Seller was pretty clear about what was factory (the 17 Federals) and the rest obvious reloads and stated being sold as components only. Agree with your policy on reloads. The price is not too bad with factory stuff $2 a round or better and brass going for a buck a piece. I havn`t shot ...

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 a...

Sarge756

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 you...

Sarge756

Glad you are happy with your find. The 'Dogbone" Rem and the Win Silvertips are of course "vintage" aka old. One caution: with brass being at such a premium you may experience split necks when you shoot them. I ran into that with a couple boxes of 30Rem Red/Green box few years back. R...

Welcome from NE Florida. Good that another of the rifles we love ended up with someone that appreciates it. From the photo it appears to be in good company. Don`t know your experience with reloading but if you are a novice then you could not have picked a better one to begin with. Powder choices of ...

Sarge756

Roger, Thanks for that info. Have friends besides you in Iowa around Storm Lake area. I`ll be checking on them. Glad you are ok and Merry Christmas to you and all here.

Dan, I don`t have a 241 but this was good excuse to dust off my 24 . I get 5/8 inch center to center on it.Should be the same on a 241. This one has been the backyard varmit rifle for many years. I mounted a Weaver Cub 3x scope on it without drilling any extra holes. Used a Stith front tube and glue...

Shout out to our members in the path of the Tornados last night. Carl(Phyrbird) Jack (Jack1653) and others hoping all well with you.

Hello Bob, Looks like a good job on the slings. I do a bit of leatherwork so can appreciate these. May have to add one to my collection. Few years back I bought a project Model 8 from a fella on another forum. Needed a full polish and rust blue with all the parts intact and no extra holes drilled or...

Sarge756

Thanks Dan, This one is on a par with the accuracy of the D Grade you bought from me. SIL was shooting yours when the cloverleafs were printed. My old eyes came close with this one @ 50 yards. Could cover the group with a quarter.Hope all good up there in the far North. We`ve dodged the hurricanes s...
