A friend gave me one in 300 Savage.I need to make a new forend,and I need to find/make a tang screw.I'd surre like to find a new recoil spring..

John Moses Browning designed this rifle and the FN-FAL.They both have a recoil spring in a tube in the stock...the layout is similar.I'm hoping maybe John Moses used the same basic spring.Its a long shot..maybe.

But,the thing is starting to grow on me! I like it.

I do not know the accuracy potential of this rifle,but the semi-auto Barrett 50 is recoil operated.

If you watch e-bay under Remington model 81 or model 8 you will see the Marbles/Lyman tang peeps and literature/manuals,along with a few parts.
