It might make a pretty good showing by casting with Zinc.

I've learned that if you say a couple 'Hail Marys' and a 'Anna-godda-devida', all sins will be forgiven.:bigsmyl2:

I'll move this thread over to single shot guns.
If ya want it back here,,, let...

We have a big barrel for brass at our range about 2 feet deep in spent cases.
However; there are so many tobacco chewers, I pretend it's not there.

That's how I do it.
Run the pot up until I get some frosting,
then ease the heat off until there is just a hint of it unless I slow down my fill/drop rate.

In years past I'd accumulated several...

Good luck with that project!

I like the spent primer catcher on my Hornady progressive, but other presses I use are beyond frustrating.
I ended up just letting them drop into a 5 gal. bucket, or...

Oppss, I mis-read the model.

It might not be a issue with the spring.
I had a new Japanese made double barrel Browning side by side that was hard to unlock.
I polished the mating surfaces where...

Not sure of the count, but it seems like fewer, and deeper cuts would let ya have a better grip- especially wearing gloves,
and not tend to 'clog up' as quick as a finer pattern would.

They're pretty rare, endangered, and protected down here after we ate almost all of 'em.

You reminded me of a favorite neighbor that is selling out and moving to Austin.

He stopped by awhile back and told me, "I'm, thinking about moving to Austin to be closer to the grandkids".

I...

I'm not a SKS guy, but I have lightened up springs for other guns.
I don't like hacking around on original parts, but will on commonly available replacement springs.
Do a quickie search for 'SKS...

Please folks- Even for hot topics, S&S is not an area for discussion.

If you're not buying this item, or helping sell it, please don't post on this thread.

Ed.

All other things being OK:
If the case gauge is at the smaller end of the tolerances for them, and the die is at the larger end-
That cause cause the issue, but the case would still fit the...

Minimum wage sort of keeps up with inflation.

In 1970, min. wage was $1.15. At 16, I was washing dishes for $1.25 a hour.
Gas was right at the mid 30 cents a gallon.
Of what I got to keep of...

In the old days, I'd buy a 1lb. roll of 95/5 for 7-8 bucks for a big plumbing project,
then toss what was left in the buckets with all the other 'castables'.

Then didn't need any for several...

Good one!

What are those things? I've never seen anything like them.

Like all the professional & commercial cooks--- I really prefer a gas stove.

Our house now is all electric, with a flat top stove on a island.
When I dropped a bacon press and shattered it--- I...

It's a 'make your best deal' sort of thing and prices float up & down like gasoline or any other commodity.
The scrap yards I used to deal with would sell Lead, or anything else for 1 & 1/2 times...

Most young people don't realize that staying with one company for a long, long time is not the path to the big bucks.
It can happen, but usually not.

For most people to get noticeably more money-...

A few years ago, while I was still working we all went in and got our evaluations and raises.

I did real well, and others not so much.
The owner of the company predicted some of the others...

That's a great project.
However:
I do have concerns about the clean and open surfaces on your bench.
I'm not sure if it's a violation of Man Law, but I do know Nature hates a vacuum and tries to...

I wouldn't carve on the original recoil spring, however-
If you can find them, you might could get a new spring or two and start shortening them a little at a time
so the bolt will come back all...

I wouldn't bother.
It's like putting a glass of dirty water into a gallon of fresh water....
Now you have a little more than a gallon of dirty water.

Anything will work.
I use a big screw driver with a plastic handle.
It doubles as a pot stirring stick too. Going back & forth with it,,,, you'll only forget to wear gloves once.

I've wondered about that too.
My guess is the bullet is traveling so fast, and is too hard or too pointed so it can't/doesn't expand fast enough.
It goes in & out before it can expand unless it hit...
