How much does it cost for the dies to do this? I've wanted to get into swageing for years and i just never have the money. Its so dang expensive. 223 or .30 cal is what I've always wanted to do. I...

Now that would be an awesome score. I'd take every ap and tracer i could afford! I'm actually really curious about the ddt powder if they actually put that stuff in their hair...

I was at a local antique shop that has sections that people rent out to sell their collections and one of them had 2 belts of 30-06 ammo for $50 each. One was all blanks but the other was mostly...

Dang, I would trade 1000 for 1000sm rifle magnum but im up north in MN. Stinkin shipping fees!

Do you ever make it up to the duluth area?

I need one of these so bad... some day Ill be able to afford it. Being a security guard while having a degree in economics is killing me. I need to find a good job.

Let's just stop wearing eye protection too while we're at it! Are you really that dense? He had a bad experience, it caused a fear of something. For peace of mind, he can wear a glove so he knows...

I havent read all the posts, but, instead of switching priming methods over one incident, why not just wear a glove on your hand that holds the priming tool?

Mine is a 1-7 twist, PSA FN barrel. 16". Im thinking of getting a 20" barrel for it though, and a freefloat handguard, because right now I have an A2 front sight post and magpul carbine handguards,...

Well, I totally didnt realize it was a copy of the rcbs mold. I originally wanted that one when I started my testing but didnt want to spend the money. I just ordered the 6cav lee mold. We shall see...

Hey everyone!
So, a year or two ago I was doing some testing with cast powder coated boolits in my ar15. I found an Ideal 225462 57gr mould that cycled the action just fine, but because I didnt have...

If anyone has an old small lathe that still works good by the way, I have a kahr cm9 Im looking to trade. I live in northeast MN. Just on the extremely off chance that someone is out there, I had to...

Im gonna take a day to figure out what I wanna do with it then get back to the people who were interested in it. I got a bunch of PMs from people who want it also. I didnt realize how much people...

Sweet, thanks! You guys are the best.

Damn. I guess Ill probably use commercial jackets since theyre fairly cheap anyway. At least until I find a good way to make my own out of something cheap.

edit: Damn, I just looked up corbins...

When my grandpa died, he had already sold his gun collection off about ten years prior ( :(:(:( ) but I found this old military rocket motor box (basically a giant version of the 50cal ammo cans) and...

Another couple questions:
For jackets, do you think I could use 22mag brass for jackets? I could make or buy a derimming die but I dont know if they are too small to make into 6.5 jackets. Are there...

Sounds good, I'll let you know if u get hired and if I can use some help!

I see now, that makes sense. I might actually be getting a job at the same place now on a 2 axis cnc lathe so I may be able to do some of this myself soon too. Ill definitely start working on some...

So you mean basically like a die with nothing drilled into it yet? Im still learning what makes up the different dies.

I have some ideas for the lapping! I inherited a dumore high speed sensitive drill press when my grandpa died. It runs at I think 27,000 rpm so Im thinking I could use this with really fine grain...

You guys are the best. I made it all the way to like page 12 of the swage board at work today without finding what I wanted.
Thanks!

Ive never made anything like this before, but I was wondering if there are any plans or schematics or anything that I can look at to see how the insides of swage dies look and work. From the threads...

This thread makes me depressed knowing I will not be able to afford swage dies for a looong time. One semester of college left, and then onto finding a good job, then saving up, then ill finally be...

Global warming isnt a liberal thing. Its science. Extreme summers and extreme winters are signs. While the earth does naturally change climate, the fact that we are speeding it up a lot is still a...
