Bonz ... you better give me awhile i am going to say swage dies are beyond me at the moment .. two or three weeks more practice should be long enough.
Hand loader .
I didnt realize that was not a free chex till you pointed it out ... long as i am not stepping on anyones toes im good with that .
Once i get some suitable material ill give it a shot . I can use one or three of them myself .
And as to the mosin muzzle brake .. sorry i already forgot who asked but ....
At the moment i am going to have to say its beyond what i can do .
Making the brake would not be hard at all to do but lacking both a good drill press and a mill i have no good way to do the ports .
Maybe santa will bring me a mill for x mas
