    Who Else Loves Loading 45 Auto??

    I just purchased 8 lbs. of W231 powder for loading .45acp. Hopefully I live long enough to use it all.

    iosso brass cleaner

    I use it. It will remove the grime from the cases but will not make the cases looking like new brass. After using the losso, with cases in a net bag, I place the net bag with cases into warm water with Dawn dish detergent and slide the cases back and forth inside the new bag. Finally, rinse with...

    Bought a cheap 1911 commander style just because.

    uncleunzie: my path with the Tisas Carry was similar to yours. First thing to go was the ambi safety. Installed a Ruger TS. It also now sports a Chip McCormick trigger from a pre-series II Kimber, a Harrison Design hammer/strut/pin, EGW sear, Wolff 18lb recoil spring and firing pin spring, and...

    Lee precision hand press experiences?

    I have the older version. It is the only press that I own. The largest caliber I used it on was a .300 RUM (before I got rid of it). You need to be creative for the larger cases and case + bullet. If I recall correctly for the RUM I had to insert the case into the shell holder then partially...

    Marlin 39 Trigger Improvement?

    Approximately, 43 years ago I had a gunsmith lighten the trigger pull on my 39A Golden. He got the pull down to about 8 lbs. I then installed a reduced power hammer spring. That got the pull down to about 7 lbs. Finally, I broke it down and stoned the sear and hammer. Pull weight is down to...

    Tanker holster

    I have the Pacific Canvas and Leather M7 for 1911 carry when backpacking/hiking. I like it but in tan. The tan model is not dyed. Sweat and a good leather conditioner gives it the brown color.

    Bolt Hard To Close

    It appears you have resolved the problem. A too long front receiver bolt will cause a bolt closure issue also. Resolved with a file to shorten the bolt.

    Timney Triggers

    The Timney Rem. 700 trigger is wider than the old stock 700 trigger - I don't know about the X Mark Pro. You may have to rasp or dremel a minor amount of stock at the front of the trigger housing to get the Timney front weight of pull screw & nut to fit. The last Timney I bought has the...
