Great work!!! I hope to build something similar this winter.

You will get a similar smell with powder coated bullets. I shoot indoor matches in the winter. Other shooters kid me about the cheap gunpowder I am using, but it is the powdercoat. Some powders...

Good idea!

I will tear it apart before I junk it. The lower elements were working intermittently. The old one just had simple dials, and the temp control was not that precise. I think the new one already has...

Well, I ran to Walmart early this morning. I have a 3-gun match this weekend, and I need bullets. I sprung for the $99 Oster with digital controls. So far, this has been great. Warms the bullets...

Has anyone been using a regular kitchen range? Looking for something bigger.

I stopped shooting idpa, and focused on 3- gun and uspsa. All the series 80 junk is out of my 1911s.

Sti mags will usually work in Paras. Paras are too fat at the top to fit in a sti frame. On some pistols you have to buy a mag catch from canyon creek to make the sti mags work. The P-16 above runs...

Ross rods, this is a Para slide I purchased from Sarco. My friend tri topped and then we used a ball end mill to make the the slots. Tri topping takes out more weight that you would think. Plus I...

Could you post pics of the AR lower? Thanks for your responses!

Rossrods, how much time do you have in milling the frame? Would the 4th axis be a time saver? Does your machine run on Mach 3? I have heard people complain that it was very glitchy, but there are...

Ross rods, what make of mill did you use to mill the parts? Was it a commercial cnc or a smaller open loop personal mill like a Tormach? Did you make a number of fixtures to hold the work piece? ...

Rossrods, what cad software are you using? I have been playing with the free version of autodesk 123 to design crude models to print on my 3d printer. When I try to import anything from solidworks...

JMorris, do you have a pic of a sv slide with the breach face removed? Was wondering how they did that.

I remembered I saved a pic on my phone.

When you cut the dust cover you removed most of the material with a ball end mill ? Then just used the long bit to complete the Nowlin cut? I have 1 sti pistol and would love to make a copy of the...

Wow! Nice job! Did you make the frame in 2 pieces and tig it together like the cnc guns guy?

NOE 247 grain mold with hollowpoint pin. Bullet weighed 221 grains with the hollowpoint. Hardball alloy. Expansion on 3 1 gallon water jugs. Recovered base from backstop. 1054 fps...

I second the video request! I am very interested in this. Nice job!

Cutting the sprue after the mold is opened is interesting. I wonder if it has any negative effects on bullet shape? It would be cool to find a way to automate the process casting with 6 cavity molds.

Sorry, yes the Poliklips. It looks like a relatively simple machine.

I received my 6 cavity 9mm coated bullet mold today. It looks great! Can't wait to try it out. Is the mold held together by spring tension, or is it pressure on the handle?

Why don't you make the rest of the machine too! :).

I am in, needs to 180 grain bullets minimum. 185 to 190 would not hurt my feelings.

I have a 3d printer kit coming, will watch this.
