My smith is working on a Remington model 81 auto loader in 300 savage. Its not a rifle he has worked with before. he is not on the internet so I thought I might help him with a callout fr any reference matieral any one may have.
Or If any body out there knows these old automatics mabye you could PM me with a phone number where my smith might be able to ask a couple questions. it would be appreciated thanks...tj3006

Try to find a copy of this book: http://www.rayrilingarmsbooks.com/cgi-bin/rrb455.cgi/9113.html

Here you go! Just print him up a copy of this. I know I found it quite usefull when I tore mine down. By the way, they make excellent cast bullet rifles, which is rare for autoloaders. Id like to get one in 35 Rem and have a matching pair.
