Items you would like to see made commercially?

[nicholst55]

I'd like to see a Lee collet sizing die for the 7.62X54R cartridge as a regular production item, rather than a custom order item. I think Lee would sell a bunch of them.

On a slightly different note, I'd like to see someone offer up new production #3 bolt heads for the No. 4 Lee Enfield rifle, at a price that was significantly less than the cost of the entire rifle. In other words, for $50, tops.

Any more ideas along these lines?????

Lloyd, it arrived today and I have a thousand questions (not really that many) if you would PM me a number so we could talk sometime.

that would sure be cool! but i doubt if in these sue happy days that the manufactures would take a chance on a string of primers detonating in shipment.

That is why Federal primers come in such a large box there was a large explosion at the factory in the late 80s early 90s.

I don't believe that is it. Federal primers were coming in the big boxes before the late 80's.

+1 Mute switch, and what did I just say? What part of my sentence did you not understand ? I speak English, she hears what-ever. But I love her all the same.

Be careful what you wish for, you MIGHT get it if "she" reads this...... Imagine being around "her" and she doesn't say another word to you for a whole year..... It would be mighty cold in your household........ Cab fare is the least of your worries....

I ain't worried about what's her name.

Somewhat unrelated: My uncle was a state legislator here in TX. His wife agitated him once, and he actually did not speak to her for an entire year. From what I've heard from family, he was a contrary old fart.


I'm going to second the primer suggestion.

A good reliable primer tube filler at a resonable price. The frankfort arsonal one was fine but is discontinued and the dillon is over priced and not reliable enough.

Don't know how many other's use Lee's pins & gage's to trim brass. but, they don't make a handle to fit the stud in you can use to hold the case when slipping it up on the pin/cutter when spinning it in a drill press the way I do it.

Made one of: 1/2"x4" sq tube. Notched half inch of the center web out from one end. Cut the side off, dropped it down and welded it to the bottom half. Drilled a 1/4" hole. Stuck the stud thru that and tack welded it to the handle.

Sure works slick and I've run over 400 case's an hour one step at a time.
I have pics of it that can be e'mailed. Not sure about posting them here, haven't learned that part yet.
