Yep. Dunnit with no problems very same scenario. Also, been on the other side of the table and offered to write a check. Same credentials and never turned down on a sale yet. Last one was on a M1A at the Richmond show for $1K+.

+1 for me

I lost an extractor and spring once out on the range. Other than that as an extra all I did was stock up on magazines.

I have sets on a Turkish Mauser, Mosin M38 and M91/30. Great sight picture and helped close my groups substantially over the original battle sights.

Consider Hodgdon Clays. A little goes a long way.

Powder formulas change over the years. Better to keep up with the times. Also, I've found it helpful to use several different (Hornady, Speer, Lyman, VitaVouri and Sierra) manuals on hand to compare loads.

I've got one of the Mech Tech carbine conversion units for a 1911. Had it for about 5 years or so. Very much fun to shoot. I have a red dot scope on the top and use it regularly to vaporize clay pidgeons at 100 yards using 200 grain LSWC reloads. I've never had any problems with it at all. My...
