Moonclip 101: Experienced Feedback Please

[ToxicSteel]

I've found that popping out cases is very easily accomplished with the head of a screwdriver. Seating cases into the clips works very well with using a pair of pliers.

I can't imagine that those expensive tools work much better.

When you're working in volume, the tools are very nice. An IPSC match can easily be 150 rounds. I typically head out for the matches with 180 rounds mooned up. The tools save time, are easy on the brass and clips and saves wear and tear on my fingers.

I like the moonclips used by...

...my 610, 627 and 625's so much that I'm thinking of having my 686 converted...

4v50 Gary,

I'm inclined to leave a revolver stock (except for sights, stock and trigger pull). You don't really get your money out of conversions like making them accept moon-clips.

Are these financial instruments or firearms?

If I was worried about "getting my money out of" stuff, I wouldn't be building custom rifles on old Turkish Mauser actions, that's for sure.

Tamara: I prefer to leave my guns stock because: (1) I'm cheap - btw, I do my own triggers and the extent that I don't mind spending $ is on better sights & grips; (2) I consider the "preservation" aspect of the firearm (it's a quirk in my personality); (3) money I save allows me to buy more guns. What I need is a bigger house with a room dedicated for firearms.
