The swage dies I have are ground to size, not cut to size.
They are rather precise.
Not easy DIY stuff, unless you have some serious skills.
As far as the press, I use a 1 ton HF arbor press with...

I think you should paste a life size pic of "she who's name shall not be spoken" on it for it's virgin outing
I'll bet you could find one for free on a poster somewhere

The roll of tape I use for pasting targets came in handy

There is a big difference between a NDA and an assignment of invention.
There are also non-compete agreements that are just as common.

If you ask the person at the register nicely they will usually give you the discount without the 20% coupon
Tell them you left it at home on the table when you walked out the door

I use it and have been using on my guns and other things for the last 41 years.
I've never had any of these problems reported here.
IMO - complete nonsense, if all the stories here were true I...

I am a bit of a Ruger MKii fanboy
I'm not really sure those mags are original

I would be inclined to keep anything lead far away from a young child.
The younger the child the greater the impact a tiny amount of lead exposure can have.
Don't worry, you will have plenty of...
