Thanks for the idea. I have a post on another forum and have had no response. Added it in Swap and Sell here.

Just trying to be more descriptive, as the questions would be forthcoming. My gunsmith said to stay away from.32 auto brass. Haven't seen longs out there either. There is .32 factory ammo out...

I picked up a nice little S & W pocket pistol in .32 S & W short for CAS side matches. Gun is pre- 1898 so I want to keep loads to black powder. I have bullets, primers and powder. Having trouble...
I was seeing an occupational therapist for arthritis pain in my fingers and hands. She suggested using wheelchair gloves while shooting. I took a pass, cause the the shooting sports I'm involved in...
Owned both. My preference for DA trigger pull is the S & W, Firing SA is a tie. Colt is a bit more complex design and requires more attention and upkeep than the S & W. Every Colt I've owned has...
Haven't played that game in a lot of years. Started shooting a 6 inch K38. Graduated to a couple of different heavy barrel 6 inch custom guns built on S & W Model 10 frames. Tried many different...

I've been using Mobile One 0W-20 for lubricant. I'll use Ed's Red to let sit on heavy carbon, then blast it clean with non-chlorinated brake cleaner. I do a lot of shooting with dirty powders and...

Yeah, no. I learned my lesson about using online photo storage. I tried using the insert image feature on the reply thread. I couldn't get it to work from my computer.

I tried sharing some photos, but I can't get them to load on this site.

I will probably put together some type of display with some of them. A lot of cool stuff. But the rest of it will just sit until my estate has to figure out what to do with them.

Thank you for the lead. I signed up for the site. Looks like I will have to spend some time going through the site. A bit different from other online auction sites I've seen.

I have a bunch of antique shotgun shells that I've had since the 1970s. Most with rolled crimps. One is a Eley pinfire. Wondering if these have any value and where I might find collectors that...

I do something similar for CAS. I keep my eyes open for old bible boxes or men's jewelry boxes at resale shops. I make 5 strips that each hold 20 rounds (usually I can get 4 to fit in a box). I...

Got it. Thanks Chris. Looks like a visit to Tractor Supply is in my future.
Forum: Special Projects
Yep. I agree with the KISS principle. That is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. Since it is for my private use, it won't take the same amount of abuse as a competition star. We use one for...

It's been a while since the original post. Considering this press as there are some super sales on it right now and I'm looking for a press that will do some low volume stuff. I've seen some...

I thought about that, but do you get the same spin that you get when the targets fall?
Forum: Special Projects
Great reply. Thanks. I'm hoping to stay away from springs and clamps. Have really seen anything commercial I'd trust to take heat from welds or strong enough to hold. can't remember what the...

I am contemplating building a Texas Star for my personal range. I have most of the details worked out, but looking for some simple ideas for attaching the falling plates to the arms. Has anyone...
