i have ued both swanson and atlantic wall blanks before ... swansons are known to be real hot, in some cases too hot for the average BFA, Robb at Atlantic Wall is a great guy and supplies many blanks for all kinds of calibers. Know him personally and he is good. I also make blanks. Contact me...

i make 30-06 blanks for the m1 garand for military reenacting ... PM me for details and price.

^^ yup exactly what i did .... i kinda thought that but wanted some other opinions first ... thanks again!

thank you for this advice .... i will try the to loosen the threads and see if it is damaged ... i will also call lee and order more ... i understand the need to have a stockpile of parts (in my bike hobby i have tons of parts laying around!) I appreciate all the advice and help ... i am...

sorry about not telling the brand of die it is a LEE 9mm die .... sort of new to posting in forums...

thanks ... that is what i am doing right now ... soaking it in wd-40 ... i will pad out my vise and give it a whirl ... from my readings on this forum and other places it is either a bent/broken stem or pin ... i will contact lee and see about a replacement ... any other thoughts??

that is neat ... i really enjoy off beat, non mainstream impressions and weapons. where are you gathering gear and weapons and blanks?

well, that was my reason for posting. I was curious what guys use and talk blanks and BFA making, etc. as well as reloading ammunition for the M1 garand and gov't issue 1911a1 and so on... i thought it would hopefully generate a few reenactors in my area to emerge...

I was wondering if anyone on this forum a militray reenactor or living histoian? I am myself and have been doing so for 20+ years. I do all eras of US miltary reenacting, but focus mainly on these three: Civil War, World War 2and Vietnam. I hope this is the right place to post this since it...
