Thanks everyone for the great information and input. Looks like it is definately an Air Force conversion kit.

From what I have been reading this might be an Air Force kit because of the special plastic white/cream colored magazines that came with it? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks tomme boy. The magazines and the bolt are the same as what I have. Too bad they did not give more of a description. At least it is a start.

I have a .223/5.56 to 22lr conversion kit. I have been told it was a military issue M261 kit based on pictures of the magazines. I have found the conversion bolt and would like confirmation/input....

If the flame from the pilot is hitting the thermocouple and you change the thermocouple then the only other thing it can be if it won't stay lit is the control valve.

I think I may have some 7.7 brass here. Will have to dig and see what I have. I also have 8x57. Not huge quantities but I know I have some.

Except one important one. These were not very high pressure. The primers are still rounded. He obviously had some serious pressure from that round, I would say 100k+ psi The atomized brass (brass...

I have read (since this happened) of others thinking annealing is done by putting the brass in the oven at 450 degrees for one hour. All I can say is they have issues in their future.

The only course of action would be to proceed with caution (which is what I have and will be doing) Never said the problem is totally solved. (it may be but assumption is bad news as well)

There...

Shot the new brass today. 19gr was the best of the lot. Everything went fine. The factory brass (my loads) even chrono'd within 20fps of the converted brass. Didnt change anything but the brass....

Your referring to a popper or popper furnace. The liquidation companies are required to notify you the brass has been through the popper. This brass however has been in my possession since before...

Bolt was completely closed. Most of this I loaded one at a time and verified the bolt was closed. It will close with light finger pressure.

SS tumbled in water, dawn, 1/4 teaspoon lemmishine.

typo 1.358. corrected

all cases were within .001 of each other. And all 10 were dropped in the chamber and the bolt closed with finger pressure.
