Carl

With your permission No 1. I have sold 1 and shipped for $20. I might be able to get more, say a little prayer for me.

Thank you all for your responses: email your address to carlsandage@yahoo.com. I will reply with my address..
I didn't get much response after the suggested cost appeared so I kinda gave up. Apologies please.
I prefer USPS Mo if you please; protects us both...
The first ones sending email will get books. I know sometimes mail can be slow and think this is fair. Those that are after the initial supply, I will try to get more till supplier runs out. I'm not planning to get extra so please let me know in the next week or so... When payment arrives I will ship USPS w/ Tracking to your address.
Thanks again for the welcome to your amazing forum.

How does this get by without being a For Sale thread in the proper section?

Since the selling rules include, "30 Days Active Membership & 30 Post requirement to sell.", How does this get by when the seller only has 6 posts?

It's one thing if a seller doesn't know the rules, and starts something he shouldn't.
But when a half dozen members (also) break the rules in order to help him make sales, that (to me ) is grounds for 'discipline' ... just like any other intentional rule breaking.

To be charitable, would it be permissible if he is a long-term member who has opened a second ID purely for selling?

Montana Charlie,

I did not realize that this member was new with 6 posts. I keep track of the forum on my phone and zoom to the body of the text to read what's posted. So I did not know that he was in violation if the rules until you brought it to my attention. So don't assume that all of us members in this thread are willingly and knowingly helping him make sales as you put it.

I was not aware i was rule breaking. I wanted a copy and proceeded accordingly. Do whatever you believe necessary or advisable. I told him I want a copy and will send him a money order for a copy.

reference available
Text of PM to NO_1 I'm fairly new, found several copies of
The Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions (new)

I can supply to members for $20 shipped to most locations. I wanted to ask if you knew anyone that needed such. I know it's been a big help to me. You can connect thru carlsandage@yahoo.com so we don't load up the message board.
Thanks Carl

My apologies if I have exceeded guidelines. I have found a source of reference I believe the members can use at reasonable rate. I am trying to help. I have tried to communicate with the moderator for input. If this is wrong so be it. I will provide the forum with my decades of experience, a willingness to give good value for stuff, and strong support for those I can give guidance when they ask. I'm not well funded but believe in trades where both parties leave feeling it was a good deal.
Again apologies if others are offended, none was meant.

I didn't notice. What has mod had to say?

That is a good question.
Someone interested in doing this deal within the forum rules should contact No.1 for a reading.
He is the Mod assigned to this forum section and the Swappin & Selling section.

This one cool worksheet, I like it.
Some references add the method for fabricating difficult chambered rounds from other supplies. An example is 30 Rem from 30-30.

So...what is the deal on this? Can we buy this? Can he sell it to us?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Guess I'm off the list to buy.

My wife just got back from Ollies & brought me the "Donnelly Handloaders manual of cartridge conversions" (it's paperback, not hardcover like my old one) for $6.99. "Shooters Bible" for $5.99 & the "Blue Book of Gun Values" for $11.

She said I need to go check it out as they have a bunch of gun books.
