257277Don't see these fiber boxes with rice paper seals intact (but broken) too often. Marked Tokyo Arsenal must have been an occupation forces bring back.

A really nice condition Romanian TT-33 from AIM Surplus. Came with unissued holster. Just started reloading for it but will now need a metal detector to find the brass!

Resurrecting damaged brass is good practice for whatever apocalypse comes along and I keep getting a little better at it. Haven't had much luck rebuilding primers yet though.
Compact little setup with bulb for heat on the molds, some lead in the bottom to stabilize, height of casting surface is level with reloading bench. Finally had time to get this done, ain't...

Those Rem UMC .30-40 Krag boxes are in the best condition that I've seen! Passed up many worn greasy ones with reload data written-marked out-written again. You're way ahead with those.
