I drilled my barrel gas port. Used a carbine gas system, recoil spring and buffer in a rifle length buffer tube. I cut a dowel and slid it down the tube to make it think it was a true carbine system (timing) Shooting supers and subs have never had an issue. My buddy and I built identical...

A buddy showed up at the hunting lease with one a little while back. I put about a hundred rounds through it, and really enjoyed it. When he told me what it costs, I was really surprised at how good it was for the money. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately - Thoreau

Lee has done right by me as well. I called to get help on a part # for a replacement decap pin (my fault, I had a brain fart and damaged it), so I could order it, and they offered to send me one for free. I've had similar exceptional service from RCBS and Redding. Friendly folks, and they...

Great write up. Sounds like a fun day of shooting. I grew up shooting one, my dad bought it right after he got back from Vietnam. I shot it the whole time growing up, and now my daughter is shooting it too. There's no telling how many thousands of rounds have been through it. We spent some...

I run an old Redfield 2-7x TV Screen on mine. I loved the iron sights but they get a little blurry nowadays. I also enjoy being able to gather a little light. I carry it for deer during the day, and pigs at night. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately - Thoreau

I assembled my own stuck case remover kit a few years ago based on the above advice. I had a 35 Remington stuck, and I destroyed it trying everything I could to get it loose. I got the parts for the kit at the local hardware (a real hardware store, not a big box store). I use a ¼ x 28 so I...

I like mine. I am a Glock fan, I've put thousands upon thousands of rounds through my G22. The 43 is an entirely new experience for me. It is smaller, handles different and points different. Not a bad thing, just a different thing. I've only put about 600 rounds through it, and there has...

Thanks for the suggestions, I will fiddle around with it this weekend. I have tried pushing primers out gently and also see if I can pop them out fast, the darn thing just hangs on to the pin either way. I wonder if that Pow-R-Punch rod will fit in one of my decap dies, the spring loaded...

Since I wet tumble, the first thing I do with my brass is to decap it and wash it before size or any other processes. Lately I've been getting frustrated with some brass being stubborn about dropping the primer out. After a bunch of cussing, and lots of taking the shell holder out to see a...

That sounds almost exactly like me! I love polishing up funky tarnished brass. I have all of the above. One thing I did splurge on was a really good media separator. The Dillon CM-2000 is amazing. Super rigid separator drum, and a nice big tote to catch the pins. Mrs got me the FART for...

I have a handful of 380 brass (small baggie worth, it was mixed in with some range brass) I have a few pieces of 8mm brass, with headstamps from the 50's and 60's. Not sure if maybe a collector might want them. The brass appears to be OK. I need to rummage through my brass drawer and see if I...

I would love to have the 35 Remington brass Thank you.

I have a RR trigger in one rifle, polished by Bill Springfield. It is super crisp, and I am thrilled with it. I have a CMC trigger in another rifle. I like it a ton. I like it as well or better better than the Geiselle that is in my buddy's rifle. http://www.cmctriggers.com They are made in...
