Great news, guys!

Just heard from Brian and, as he put it, "I made it through,... "

Tired, very sore, but if he managed to reach out to us, he's hanging in there.

I told him not to worry...

I almost think it's silly to have to say it because both have been here a while and have always been upstanding folk.

All the same, the thanks is deserved and should be mentioned.

I engaged in...

Mostly, the burrs on the underside of the feed lips were like saw teeth. The one that came with the .223 and the spare which I acquired from a different source, and the one that came with my .222...

Those are some nice-looking rings - and about half the price of mine. I believe that the height on those is still lower than the CZ factory rings but don't remember the exact dimensions.


...

I have a couple of the 527 rifles and am using two different means of attaching scopes.

This setup on a 223 Varmint and Weaver LOW rings:...

Ben, I have a "system" to prevent such a disaster, but I may incorporate part of your idea along with mine. I like the idea and you just can't be "too safe" with powder, either from a literal...

I have to second that.

He sets a good example for us all in many ways. I am glad the forum attracts such young people and I wish it attracted more.

n.h.,
The paste wax works like a dream. No stopping to swab a little LPS-1 once in a while, and, best of all, it seems to be easier on my check-maker.

Thanks. I love solutions that involve...

Now, I like that idea a lot. Not being tied to an expensive and specialized lube is always a plus and I have paste wax in my wood shop and with my casting stuff. I use it a lot and don't know why I...

Yes, I have, at least the ones I made when I got the check-maker. The material is Yonkie's coil stock seems a tad soft compared to some other material I have tried, but it worked fine the first...

It just hit me that I had used LPS-1 very sparingly inside the tool last time. I didn't know if it was doing any good at the time but it bothered me not using any kind of lube at all, so it may just...

Is anyone using any lube at all on their aluminum stock or inside their check maker?

I made a bunch of checks a year or so ago when I got this and had absolutely no problems. It was stored as...

I believe so too, but that was part of why I couldn't get along with the SBH or Bisley - they were so big that I got lost one them - couldn't seem to get a consistent grip from one time to the next...

I don't know of the gloves you're looking for but my imagination is trying to convince me that such a glove would make things that much more crowded between the grip and trigger guard. Have you...

Maybe, but what kind of current are you drawing? Without checking the current draw, you won't know for sure if it's overworked. As wv109323 said, you may need to make it bigger. Even if 1 HP is...

You either need a bigger motor or one rated for "continuous duty." If you measure the current the motor draws while running at full load and compare it to what is on the nameplate you can see if...

Specific to the Handi, I have shot one of these a good bit with cast. I have posted here and on GBO regarding details and experience, but overall, it is a very nicely done little rifle, finished...

That's an option I hope to exercise on my .44 Special some day. I'd trade mine (grip frame) but the chances of one of the two of us getting one that was a bit too thin on one side have prevented me...

I am not 100% certain on this, but I think he'd be OK. If I remember correctly, the 10" model had a longer ERH. I know my OM .45 Colt was the "standard" length because I replaced it with an...

I had a 7 1/2" OM Blackhawk .45 Colt cut to 5 1/2" in '07 or '08. Installed a $100 screw-on front sight (Jim Stroh?) and added an OM Super Blackhawk hammer and "un-converted" it.

Since I only...

Couple roll pins.

Whatever you do, pay attention to the orientation of the small flat spring that keeps the extractor claw up in the extractor cut in the case. It is shown in the H&R manual...

I got some Wolf Small Rifle "Magnum" Primers just before the last panic.

Wolf says they are "standard" primers but with a thicker or stiffer cup specifically for ARs.

I have been using them in...

I have two bolt faces pitted from Federal 210M primers I bought and used in the mid-eighties. I believe my Dad's still has a pitted bolt face from this batch as well.

One is a 257 Roberts M98...

Carpenter Bee-Blasters will be coming out of the woodwork - or closet as the case may be and I am one of 'em.

Those things can be very aggressive and I have used so-called "kills on contact" Wasp...

My experience as well, and there is another benefit to using the collet dies as well, especially with cast bullets.

You can vary the neck tension - or at least vary just how much you squeeze the...
