From data on a M1 collectors site, that serial number falls in the range for Standard Products(1,982,520-2,352,519). Did a ton of research on my Saginaw S'G', that site helped a lot. Hope this helps,...

The importer mark: C A I St A VT USA, is Century Arms International,St. Albans, VT. They may still have info on when it came back to the states. Dave

My kids, all in their 30's, have enjoyed both loading on my 650 and shooting up the ammo it has produced. They also gift me tool heads with stands and powder measures or caliber change over kits for...

Yup...contact Dillon first, then you'll be all set. Dave

If you have a local gun shop, they probably have a box full of apertures for you to choose from. Walking in with a beauty like that, you should have one in no time. Dave

Going into my third winter with the FART, collect and sort the rest of the year. Nothing like it. I use the tried and true Lemishine, Armorall, Dawn mix and SS pins. Many thousands of various cases...

After re reading the OP, I didn't notice the term" rack grade" anywhere in it. I apologize for misusing the term Armory rack, apparently it was misleading.

The weapon that started all this is a 1916 BSA SMLE No.1Mark III. It came into the LGS looking weathered and every bit of its' 100 years, though complete, even the magazine cut off.Upon examining the...

This question came up at a local LGS yesterday, and I thought it should get asked here with the wide range of knowledge out there.
My thoughts are that issued weapons get more personal care and...

Back in '73/'74, one of the guys was headed overseas..picked up two Colts, an Ejercito Argentina 1911/ Nickel; and a funny looking 45 Colt revolver. Turns out the funny revolver was a Bisley, it was...

Tiger, I don't think it's about not being curious, it's more about not "seeing" a real world effect. For example, I reach into my .308 ammo can and get 20 rounds of mixed headstamp/projectile rounds....

Most primers will be seated to full depth below flush. Engineered that way to protect primer face. Actual depth will vary by case manufacturer and primer manufacturer. Per gray wolf "as they should...

I feel for you. I know that sound too well. Dave

The pliers work great, but even then my hands got tired of gripping them. I pondered for a while and threw a case into the collet on my kinetic bullet puller, left an inch or so hanging out. Now I...

Good catch! That would also explain that using different brands of brass will cause fluctuation in the volume of the cases. Well done. Dave

This probably doesn't matter now, but some insight into the use of rifles by engineers "treated them like rented mules" is forthcoming. As an engineer, we were expected to do our work while dragging...

I agree with both Bent Ramrod and troyboy, invest the time and money in education, and buy a small used lathe to practice/work on at home. The learning curve goes faster with more hands on time. Even...

I might have been 9 or 10 the first time I put a knife to stone under supervision. One way or another I've been machining since then, up to and including CNC Lathes and Mills. If I want a set of dies...

Also betting on post #15. Work hardening means just that. Whether you bend it, push it, pull it, hit or work it in any way, it puts stress into the structure. Heating brass relieves that stress,...

The case gage or plunk test are your friend, but the plunk test is only good on that barrel. Found that out the hard way. Most times can get by with .452, some are more sensitive, so .451. Use the...

I just checked some of the Spanish Ammo I have that's marked 7.62mm para F.A. Cetme, there is no NATO x in circle stamp on the case head. There is, however, 7.62-C stamped on the case head.
Grabbed...

I also have bought from them a few times, all good. Dave

Mary B is " fossilized to their stools" a funny? Dave

The bullets I've made explode in a gallon of water, and they also work well on coydogs and crows. You have to remember that "exploding" means it transferred all it's energy in 6" of water; not bad. ...

Well done Brian! The proof is written on stone...Dave
