I have a quantity of 7.35 berdan primed cases that I was interested in reloading for. The berdan primers in the cases measured .204 inches. The new boxer primers (no. 200 CCI) measure .2105...

Shop Tom,

Hi,
I've got a new to me m1917 Eddystone with a smooth non-serrated trigger. Is this normal?

Thanks guys for your reply!

Hi,
I own a M1917 Eddystone. From what I've read, the ejector springs seem to be a weak point. Should I consider buying a spare, does an upgraded spring exist and is there anything I can do to...
