Just about anything works when mixed with enough elbow grease. It's a universal solvent!

Glad to hear that about the mag. My newest gun is an RIA 9mm and I'm having the same issue. It was a Christmas gift, and it's the GI model with the tiny little "hump and bump" sights, which is...

If you're smelting that much, you do NOT want to rely on a source like this! Lol!
Although, you may consider looking up chlorine distributers and see what they do with their scrap. At my new job, I...
Forum: Cast Boolits
No, not float switch weights, although I'll be salvaging some of the older lead ones. I've already started moving us toward float switches with a different style of weight. They're more of a steel...

Coming from someone in my family? I doubt it's incredibly valuable, if for any other reason, it's likely not complete. I'm not really concerned too much about the value, more the sentiment but of...

Y'all I'm actually pretty good at polishing by hand and I have several polishes in my desk drawer. I was just hoping to take the lazy way out.
I served in the Marines back when we still had to...

That's exactly what I was hoping not to hear. Oh well.

I was informed no more than 5 minutes ago that I've inherited a nice, large, antique silverware set from some obscure relative I never really knew very well. Somehow, for some reason, they remembered...

I use mostly Winchester for my 44, only because they're some of the cheaper 44 before I started reloading for it. I assumed they'd be good. Most of them have only been reloaded 2-3 times.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I hear Federal and Starline are some of the best, but I still don't know enough in reloading or have experienced enough to judge.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
The mag I got with my rifle sucked. Feed lips were stretched out, follower was cracked. I modified it into a bob sled. Ordered two new ones, haven't even used them yet, but I cycled some ammo through...

I did read their product page and did notice that. Yeah, it says very specifically, "Some American brands will not be as accurate." Or at least something to that effect. Specifically made to CIP...

I pulled my scope back as far as it'd go to get a more comfortable cheek weld.
Center and upper left are getting it rezeroed and getting me warmed up. Upper right is ten shots. This is the cheap...

I may be hitting some of y'all up for some bullet samples hopefully in the near future.
Armoredman, I accidentally deleted your email while transferring your info to my little library. Could I...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Haha, my apologies, I'll go fix that now!
Edit: nevermind, it seems I can't. But yes, it is a typo, I meant to put "7.62X39".
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I haven't yet gotten any dies yet for reloading the 7.62x39. Wasn't even sure if I wanted to, until I went through 30 rounds of the Federal American Eagle getting MOA-SUB MOA groups. I thought I'd...

Man, I'd love all the info I can get. I'll make a little mini library.

Yeah, sure, I'd love to have it! I assumed it was the only CZ forum I'm a member of, where we've met.
That is one gorgeous rifle, nice work LAGS!

Oh, he runs that forum? That's the forum I was talking about. I try not to mention other forums in forums... sounds as weird to say it out loud as it does to type it. What I mean is, I don't mention...
