Are there any post about making your own swage parts

I've wondered about this, too. Haven't seen anything, myself.

There are quite a few thread in the swaging section on this subject. There are several swagers here who own lathes that do make their own swage dies and accessories. Best bet would be to use the search function, or take a few minutes to browse older threads in this section. There is tons of good info here. I wish I had a lathe. LOL

NN, look in the "stickies", there is a thread by KTN "Home made dies" IIRC.

Also Caneman has several threads where he made his .224 dies and .30 dies. I have several threads on parts I've made to date. You'll have to look back through the post to find them. Sorry I don't have time to look them up right now, getting ready to head to church. All of the dies are pretty simple until you get to the point forming die, which is my next die to make.

good luck,
