Item #413110B - Rear Sight Slide Spring, NI $1.45

I found it at Numrich (Welcome to...

Last night I got my newly built lower to the range. I’ve had the RRA lower and RRA parts for a year and just got around to assembling it. Without a parts list to ID the parts, it took just over an...

At this point I have sooo much CMP LC & HXP .30-06 that it will be a while before I need to reload for the M1. I do need to work up an accuracy load for them, but for general 100yd goofing off, I...

It’s unanimous: I’ll scrap them.

rider: Thanks for the idea about using a bullet to reshape. I sort of backed into that method by reshaping the business end of my decapping die stem. It had been...

Parashooter:

Thanks, I guess I knew that they were scrap, but being cheap, I needed to hear it from someone else.

Thanks too, about correcting my nomenclature. In the heat of trying to clearly...

My AR was dinging the ejecting shells and flattening the rim of my case necks and the decapping die that I was using was catching the rim and folding the neck rim down. Then when I would resize, the...

I used 128 rounds of HXP77 to make "Mex Match" using the same components but cleaning off the asphalt sealer, resizing (not decapping), trimming, combining the powder and re-throwing it to more...

I have a pistol in that serial number range, but it was converted into a M1911A1 and has seen hard use. I have thought about trying to replace the A1 parts with originals, but too many other calls...

Looking at the "What Price Glory" web site (What Price Glory - US M1917 Pistol Lanyard), it looks as if I have the M1917 lanyard (original, I guess, since I have had it for several years), but it...

Ah, thanks. The lanyard that I have just has one snap. I was hearing about the cavalry lanyard, but looking at this other lanyard and getting confused. How rare are the calvary lanyards?

I just got a repro M1911 magazine with a lanyard loop and cannot figure out how it was used.

I thought that the clip on the lanyard went on the pistol and the lanyard loop would then go through...

MEHavey:

1) My carbide expander button does not squeek, with or without mica.

2) I had been using more lube, but I have been using much less lube with better results.

ireload2:

My press is neither an "O" type or a "C" type, it is a Redding Turret. While closer to a "C" than and "O" it has a good reputation for not flexing. Everything is snugged down quite...

Dear Mr. Watts:

Thanks for the suggestions, however, these are all the same lot of Winchester cases on the way to their second reload (originally factory loaded). All were fired in the same...

I am having trouble setting up my Redding .30-06 sizing die. I cannot get consistently sized brass. I check the brass with a RCBS Precision Mic before and after I size them and get varying results:...

Last night, I was going through some of my old stuff, and ran across my long lost bunch of stripper clips. Some were steel with the spring folded longitudinally, which I remember were from WWII. ...

Is the front sight staked or can you just nudge it over?

Thanks,
Jack

Last fall, for no good reason, I was thinking about reloading some blanks. Eventually, I decided that, given the way that the presidential election was going, my money was better spent on a new...

Last summer I tried the SMK 168s, the Nosler CC 168s, and Hornady 168s (not A-max) and couldn’t see much difference. I decided on the Noslers, in part because my M1903 seemed to group a little...
