I bought a Krag carbine in 1994 and never did anything with it which was a mistake, most likely. The outside is as near 100% as one could wish for but the bore is pitted; bore scopes can be...

LED's are expensive unless one buys cheap knock-off brands which are also EXPENSIVE.
Relay for headlights was added years ago (reread original post).
Going to use Sylvania Silverstar, or similar, ...
Forum: Our Town
Seems like Silverstar bulbs come in either a sealed beam or a replaceable 'insert' which would require some kind of housing. The LED's also seem to require some kind of housing (reflector, if you...

Have a 52 model International which I've owned since '74. Converted it to 12 volts shortly after purchasing same and headlights are 6012 dual beams and puny, especially at my advanced age. Looking...

Was ordering a custom neck sizing die so best to go direct to Lee. Lee offers NO dealer discounts on custom orders for Titan or anyone else.

After talking to Lee, I find that they are using a third party (Stripe) to process cards. The bigger problem, as I see it, is the possibility of said third party getting hacked. If you have been...

Widen your choice to include a Winchester 9422... I know nothing about the Henry but do have 4 or5 Marlin 39's and about that many 9422's and prefer the Winchesters. Just my feelings...

It's called a 'digital payment processing fee' and amounts to $4.20 on a $119.00 purchase which is roughly 4%. I'll call Lee when they open up and inquire. I've always just entered my cc# before...

Went to order some few things and it seems Lee is using something called Stripe which incurs a fee. Too late to call them or I would. Anyone familiar with this???

Inquired of Richard 4 or 5 years ago and he said he was not interested in making anymore or selling his plans. Said his cabinet source was gone among other things. I don't know how hydraulic...
Lapped out shank only and bullet will now SECURELY hold a .348 gas check after mashing thru a Lee sizer. Still looking for a die blank; at one time someone or some outfit was selling the blanks...
Looking for a .352. Am fixing to lap the BASE only of my Lyman 351319 mold (made specifically for the 351WSL) so it will retain a 348 gas check which it does not even when casting with pure Lino. I...
Used to be a source for these die blanks drilled or undrilled. Anybody know where I can find some without starting from scratch?

Read ALL of the above posts and REALIZE that asking questions here or at the post office or UPS store or wherever is subject to mistaken info. Wrap it up, put it in a box and ship it UPS or FedEx;...

Better idea is to open an account at 'Pirate Ship' and print your own shipping labels; can even save a little over USPS walk in rates. There are other online shipping options I'm sure but a member...

I'm looking for a source for a 1/8 DIN PID vertical temperature controller. The one in my home made unit died yesterday and I have been looking for a replacement unit that will fit the box I made...

Thank you; I bought my carbine 30 years ago and only recently took a close look at it. It's packed with cosmoline and, in disassembling it and cleaning it up to shoot wondered about the muzzle which...

Would the muzzle have been blued or in the white originally???

I bought this Garand in the very early '80's and, if I'm not mistaken, today's CMP was then the DCM and those records are incomplete. The cost is now $25.00 and I may just do that one day. As an...

Had a cheapo Blu Sky import that I shot for a while until other rifles captured my interest. How would I know if mine is a CMP gun? As far as I can tell (which ain't too far) there are no marks...
