Turns out the market was just flooded with pd turn ins from the other side of the pond. In the begining, I was looking for extra mags for my EDC colt 1908 .380. Quickly found out that oem mags were...
I went the other way. I bought the 81 from Classic Firearms and found a full parts kit from a taken down 84 and installed. It works perfectly and got the white dot sight with the 84 in the process....
I own a Shepherd scope (P1A) and it's mounted on a Remington KS 300 win mag. The scope is very good and tracks well if you do your part. I reload 165 gr loads 3275 fps measured with a chronograph. ...

Last Christmas, I almost got there first, care flight, and open heart later, somehow I made it. Would have liked to have had a chance to meet up with BruceB, by his writings, quite a interesting...

Thanks for your load development work BruceB. Someone is trading me for a old anvil I acquired years ago, getting a almost new M1A out of the trade. After firing the first 200 or so rounds,...
I'm with Outpost75 and prefer my old flatside 1903 32 auto. Not a powerhouse, but sure a joy to carry. If you are facing larger critters, gun requirements should be bigger than a 32 anyway.

With mine I shoot 12 gr. of 2400 and with a 311359 cast, it's almost a AP round, punches holes in 1/2" steel plate @50 yards. The only problem I've had with 30 carbine is loading the barrel and just...

I'm a third generation machinist in my family. Yes, I did invest $20,000 in tools and the education and trade school to be able to make a living at this trade. Yes, I'm not happy that it's not a...
Forum: Casting Equipment
As a retired machinist it's sad to me to see the price of the tools we paid dearly for come down to pennies on a dollar value on ebay. The reason I see this happening is the lack of manufacturing in...
Guess I'm going to end up being the odd man out here again. I really like my Shepherd scope. I think it's the fastest to range and fire in a deer hunting application, no math involved, no separate...

Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
In the end I went with fresh Nosler cases, new bullets, fresh primers, and a fresh lot of 4350. If I had not already bought a 8pounder of 4350, think I'd considered going with a different powder,...

The 9mmar link proved interesting. I sure haven't bought stuff from them, but their prices are WAY higher priced for what looks like the same stuff PSA has for sale. Quality is hard to compare...

I built the rifle version using PSA parts and it works perfectly. I opted for the version that uses Glock mags just to make getting mags cheaper and easier to find. Quality is on par with any...

At a point many years ago, I used to turn slugs for my smooth bore cannon that had a 1 5/16" bore. I'd take a block of hardwood and bore 1 3/8" hole, about 1 3/4" deep and fill the mold with lead. ...
At first mine was reliable as well, it carried well inside the holster, all was well. My CCW gets fired about once every 3-4 months, I fire the loaded mags ( 2 ) reloaded, cleaned, returned to...
I to wanted a little better pistol than my Keltec P3AT, just a little more punch, so, I to got a PF-9. Carried in a inside the waste band with a DeSantis holster and it was a very comfortable rig...

If that's all it is, couldn't you take the pin out, drill it, and tap the end for the grease zerk ??? Seams to me that the minimum size for a grease passage in a shaft is 3/16, ( blind hole ) and...

I've got a Dillon 550B that works well for me, wondering if Dillon is considering a upgrade kit for the 550B's out there to the improved " C " version ?? As I understand the upgrade, it's just a few...

New title ?? might be time with the new stuff, and you might get a few more different opinions and ideas in the process. For the less than $500 you paid for the new stuff, if you salvage just one of...
