If I want to shoot my cz 75 in IDPA, do I run it cocked & locked? I I have to start in DA mode, I would have to drop the hammer on chambered round(no de-cocker on this model). This poses a safety issue. SJ

Is it possible for newer models to have a different slide-release action? I bought mine in the early 80's and my slide will release when I pull the trigger on a snap-cap(so no inertia). SJ

Took a little longer than I thought to get back to some pics. BTW, so far, so good with the function anyway...I have put 150 rnds. through the gun. I put a .22 conversion unit onto it and will put many more through it before I am satisfied with the action(not the looks). Go easy...

I'll try to work on some pics(will bob & weeve the ridicule). I will say that halfway through the job I was seriously contemplating scaping it & taking the loss. But, I plowed ahead & made my main objective getting it to fit & function. I knew it would not look pretty and it doesn't. SJ

Yes I know, when I purchased the GS, I was also going to purchase the .220 jig but, they were out of stock. So, in the meantime I researched in the forums to get opinions as to which is better, fitting the frame or the GS. It was obout 50/50. 1/2 said you must fit the GS & the other 1/2...

I just went through a similar experience a few weeks ago. I bought a C & S grip safety(not a drop-in). A .220 to fit my Springfield GI. I was determined not to do any grinding/filing on the frame, so I just had to work on the GS. Many hours of grinding, filing & sanding and I finally got it to...

Scope screws. I removed the scope & put it onto a muzzle loader that I hunt with more often. I think I will replace these screws with the plug-screws

Bingo! It was the scope mount screws...and I don't remember tightening them. I always say, Live & learn. Thanks RC

I recently broke down my marlin for the first time to give it a good cleaning & explore the inner workings. It is an old Model (30AS) which I was told was the same as a 336, just sold to a different wholesaler. Anyway, after re-assembling the gun the lever was quite stiff. So stiff in fact, I...

Ok, I was testing some different brands of ammo today on a 3-week old 24/7 pro LS, with less than 200 rounds through it. I had only fired about 15 rounds today when I had something hit me in the face. It was the slide cap which had broken. I tried to fire the round that was in the chamber with...

Yes, the small one. Thanks, I'll call Lee on Monday.

I'm sorry for the mis-use of terms. It's not the primer arm that is coming off the pin inside the ram but, the rod that holds the spring & cap is slipping out of the primer arm. I have since given it a slight tap with a hammer that seemed to widen the rods diamiter and it is holding for now. I...

Hello, Newbie question... I'm using a Lee 4-turret press & I have done a few hundred rounds. My problem is the primer loader(I'm using the Lee safety-prime), keeps popping off the press. Now this is a steel piece with a hole that holds a spring-loaded rod that holds the primer. This was...

Ok, newbie here. Just been reloading for a couple of weeks and I'm working on 38 sp. cowboy loads first. I have been working with 3.7 gr. & 4.0 gr. of W-231. I settled on the 3.7gr. for the pistols but for my carbine, which I loaded out to a longer OAL to action better, the 3.7gr. seem to have...

Ok, I'm a newbie. I don't have a single, live round loaded yet. So my second question is: What is the difference between roll & taper? I have the Lee 4-turet press with a factory crimp die. Will this do both? SJ

I believe I read somewhere that you don't put a crimp on certain handgun ammo. Is there any reason not to put one on say, 45ACP or 9mm.? SJ:confused:

Ok, I just came across a recent tread on bullet lubes. What does this do for the bullet? And, does this have to be done with all reloading? SJ

Thanks for the replys, more to think about. I've read the Lymans & Lees manuals & I guess I missed the chapters on case space and how it works. Here I thought that you were getting your bullet propulsion from powder charge alone but, it's pressure build-up also. It's starting to make a little...

Hello all, I'm a first timer just getting started and in looking at some starting loads it seems that the heavier the bullet, the lighter the charge. Now this just doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone shed some light on the subject. SJ

Thanks for all the input everyone!
