Funny how a couple days can turn into a month. I also cooked up M2 ball spec loads with unused (seconds) brass blanks. The necks worked much easier with the unused brass. There was just a bit left...

I've loaded up a small assortment of cast loads as well as 20 rounds of M2 Ball spec loads. I'll give them a try over the week.
Thanks for the info. I'll pop the primers and wait for brass prices to recover. There could be a couple of needed op rods in it for us.
I inherited several thousand rounds of cardboard wad roll crimped blanks with duties as our AL Post armorer. I have pulled the powder and popped the primers (via 03) on a couple hundred to sell as...
M1 Garand - my service rifle
82G Kimber - fulfills the need for precision
MK III or IV Martini Henry - the thump, the crack, the smell
M1938 Turk Mauser - righteous stand up blaster
Swiss K31 -...
What do you want to bet they run out by this fall even with the limit? I just put an order in for 4 cans that I won't even get close to shooting for another 2 or 3 years. Such is human psychology.
It is a bit more common in around Denver lately - no guarantees, though. I think floorboards are starting to buldge up now. I did see one guy at WalMart shell out $648 for all the .45 ACP they had....
Early last Oct I ordered a Bushmaster DCM Competition. I was thinking about it in Sept but was too busy. (shoulda, woulda, coulda) I went out and around yesterday and noted a good but full priced...
I believe the Garand was removed from active duty at Naval Facilities (small shore stations) in 1976. I did research a couple years ago and even had the Op Ord reference. I can't remember for sure...
I had a couple salvage yards where old lead plumbing was the most common source. You have to melt the solder off for the for the softest lead. I haven't had to look for 5 years. I scored about 250...
Back to the Mark IV. I just got back from an AZ visit to a son and grandson. I don't have that much in common regarding firearms with my son. He doesn't like muzzle loading - too much...
Just answered the door and signed for a SG Inland and FG HRA. Lets talk about good news in threes for a change.
I messed up my computer with a Firefox beta download. I can't get the Sun-Sentinel poll and other sites are messed up/ Latest score?
The poll has ended. The last I saw it was nearly 3 out of 4 pro 2nd amendment. I have never seen the results of a poll that went pro gun reported anywhere. Hope that isn't the case here.
It must make a cookie. It only lets you vote once. I could vote again after I restarted my computer. I've got nothing better to do. I'm just sitting around checking FedEx for progress on an order...
I doubt if Greece had anything more than field expedient repairs with refinishing that ranged from rust blue to black oxide, depending on what could be had or how hot the tank got. Remember, this...
Just came over from CSP so I thought I'd leave my "mark on the post." A couple weeks ago I received a Mark IV long lever from IMA. It was in the best condition of any I've received from them. I...
