I have a super magnet for that part of it, but I am not going to pan for pins. That is just one bridge too far for this old fart.ETA: This thing (Rolling tumbler) works fine and as advertised. But way too tedious for me. I can live with carbon inside the case and cleaning primer pockets the old fashioned way. Fiddling around with those tiny SS pins and the mess just isn't my idea of fun. Ugh!
That task only became manageable when I got the Frankfort Arsenal magnet and two gold-panning screens (a Go and a No-Go for the pins)

Ok, I got one for someone in the Phoenix Metro area or at least willing to drive to East Loop of the 202 & Superstition freeway:
1 Frankfort Arsenal wet/dry rolling tumbler with 5 lbs. stainless steel pins. Used 1 time. I do not deliver and you will have to meet me near said intersection to pick it up. It will cost you 1 beer at a nearby bar (to be disclosed at a later date).

Shame I ain’t local. I been wanting to get into stainless pin tumbling.

Hang in there, Bazoo. If somebody doesn't speak up in the next day or so, I'll redo my PIF and make it available to anyone. Stay tuned!

The items claimed went out today. Still up for grabs are the two bags of 7.62mm LC and the bag of .308Win Black Hills.

Well, no local takers, so I will offer the Frankfort Arsenal rolling wet/dry tumbler to anyone willing to pick up the cost of shipping via FedEx cheapest ground. It includes everything it came with new except for the detergent that was in the box. It has been run a total of 2 hours.

I still prefer my brass a little dirty. my last tumble was Walnut with a fresh squeeze of NuWax. And like I already mentioned, forgot about it over night and it was SHINNY! after I bust it tonight I’ll post photos of the SUPER Shinny brass and Nickel. Warning, wear Sun Sades and SPF 50!

Your going to get a rude awakening with the wet tumbler that Poper is sending you. Better buy some Armor All Wash and Wax.
