I don't know but am I missing something here? Why can't you insert a small diameter brass rod into the threaded hole the expander screws into and tap the whole cartridge out? 11 reply's and I come up...

While I have many Craftsmen tools and a few Sears guns my favorite Sears memory is of taking a shortcut thru the store to the movie theater down the street. Every time we walked in the back door and...

Not only are they over charging but they don't even abide by their own statements. "Cannot ship to NY, AK, HI, MA, CT, Washington D.C.
Please know the laws of your state before ordering." They can...

It takes no longer to set them up to spray than it does to bake them, I did get tired of bumping the tray and knocking some boolits over so I fixed that by removing the bottom of my toaster oven and...

I picked up boxes of Win 333's for about $18.00 each, just have to check often and be sharp.

Don't feel bad Jonp, I had a batch turn out looking like chocolate chips! I not only messed up the temp but also left them a bit to long and they slumped down. OH well back in the pot they went.

I second the tap handle and I NEVER use a wrench! To easy to start crooked and then break a small tap.
You should be able to buy a couple of used handles for a few bucks each, ratcheting handles are...

I may be wrong but I thought I saw on some Lee paperwork that they will custom size die's and sizers for a very reasonable fee, it's worth a call.

I wish I lived closer, I could learn so much just quietly standing in the corner watching!
I also have three of them and would buy more but they are a bit pricy, but absolutely NO complainants about them or how they work.
I'm pretty sure it will exceed the 50 oz. limit making it unavailable in NY. Cuomo is an idiot!
I can't help you but I do admire how you filled in that string of flyers to the left with screw heads! That's some good thinking!

When I couldn't find my tall pusher I used one of the shorter one and added to it with JB Weld, crude but it worked and I didn't have to wait.

"I think the advice initially given to leave it "as is" is good advice." and so it shall be! It's a good shooting gun as is. Thanks for the info and thoughts.
Thanks guys, I hadn't thought of what may be hiding under the nickle. It doesn't look bad from a foot or two away so I may leave it. Last thing I want to do is to have file away the markings.
