Beautiful rifles! there used to be a gunsmith around who could convert them to detachable magazines, I guess any gunsmith probably could. Good luck they are sure nice.

Here's a little background on the historic nature of these rifles, the first popular semi-automatic centerfire.

Must you be a legal Oregon resident to make an inquiry about these rifles?

State lines do not bar "questions" just transfers without going through an FFL.. I love my model 81 and you can reload the 30 Remington with 30-30 dies a load data.

Nice rifles, to bad I live in CA. When it comes to reloading with 30 30 dies, I've read others that say you can, and others that say you can't or shouldn't, and now it's very hard to get the .30 rem. brass, I've looked everywhere, but I've just began, so maybe I find some soon? I wouldn't mind finding an 8, 81 in .35 rem. there's not much here in Bakersfield, Thanks

I am a reloader, but I haven't tried reloading .30 Rem yet. My understanding is that you can neck size using 30-30 neck sizer/seating dies. Or you can but FL die set for .30 Rem from RCBS for $60. I have a box of ammo, but you can buy new .30 Rem brass online a few different places, roughly $0.6 per case. Load data is same as 30-30.

I am open to FFL transfer to non-OR residents...the OR collectors have had their chance.

Hi, new to this site. Interested in your rifles. Please reply so that we could talk about them. I live in Washington so we would need to discuss transfer. Thanks
