Interesting project! However they do tend to use some rather nasty chemicals in the glue of plywood. I would want to have wax paper between the wood and the tortilla if I were to use such a press.

Alan Wood

I do wonder how expensive that scope or it's little brother are. But yeah pretty handy technique!

Went shopping at sportsmans warehouse this morning. Looked at the reloading section and got a rather big shock to me. Outside of shotgun stuff they only had 2 off brand reloading presses in stock! And from what I saw brass was pretty much limited to obscure calibers. Location? Oly This is at the Ro...

I see that I am not the only one thinking that that abomination would be a rather nice bargain project gun! Though not at $250.

Welcome to the campfire!

Thank you for the link!

Reloading is not magic, it's weights and measures and following a recipe. I used the Lee deluxe 4 die carbide set for 45acp and never ever had one malfunction or failure, the post sizing die is the key there. I don't see any reason to NOT use a progressive for pistol unless it's a Lee Pro 1000. Tha...

Alan Wood

Thank you very much for your comments! Now that I have had time to think about it a bit more I am less concerned by the progressive press for pistol ammunition as he will have had some experience with rifle on the single stage press by then. So should have the basics down. The 45 ACP issues though s...

I am getting a bit concerned about my coworkers choice of mentors in getting into the art of reloading. This mentor has him starting with 30-06 in a single stage press but coworker is talking of going straight to progressive for pistol calibers. Add to that my coworker has mentioned that the "m...

and not only red duct tape: 1) camo for hunters 2) black for tactical 3) pink for women 4) silver for traditionalists Cheers, Carl I haven't heard of camo duct tape before. Camo tape yes but not camo duct tape. Is this real? Will it hide my home improvement projects from the neighbors? :lol:

Alan Wood

Welcome to the forum! This reboring a 336 to 444 sounds interesting! I would like to here more about that!

Alan Wood

Welcome to the forum. That Rosi should be a fine weapon!

Alan Wood

Been thinking of getting a Ruger American in 308 myself. Would like to here of anyone else's experience with them!

Alan Wood

Was going to go to the range today but at 45 minutes each way and needing to put in 4 to 8 hours at work this weekend and household chores to do.

Oh well may next weekend.

Alan Wood

Your welcome!

Alan Wood

I just saw a rather surprising and long video from Remington firearms circa 1969 about there design and manufacture of firearms. Was truly surprised by the level of computerization! Er oops forgot the link!

Think I will going back Tuesday (next time they are open I think) to take a close look at the 325. If not else it would take care of my 30-30 deficiency! Thank you all for your comments!

Alan Wood

Thank you Mescalero! Hm a kicker according to someone who isn't recoil shy. I'll have to think about that. My range sessions are usually ended by my shoulder being too bruised! That for having too much fun to know when to stop. Hmmm

Alan Wood

Stopped by my favorite gun shop and in the bargain rack there were no less than 3 interesting firearms. None would be interesting to collectors as they are definitely not safe queens. One is a savage 325A in 30-30 for $250. Looks pretty light to me but seem to recall several members being impressed ...

I really think the NFA is basically useless and counterproductive, but look what these guys are selling and compare it to the 'oil filter' suppressor.... http://cadizgunworks.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=67 Sadly, I'll bet that will be their un-doing; the ATF will poop t...

Congradulations on your purchases. Glad it worked out for you. I went to a gun auction today, also, before going to a small local gunshow afterwards. I had 7 or 8 guns I was interested in, but every single one went for 100 to 300 higher then I could have purchased then for from almost any old gunsh...

Thanks Mike, we rebuilt the cart and put the wife and dog on and took a test ride today.
She made me drive it normally though

So she took all the fun out of it.

James May is a pretty famous UK television personality. He's on top-gear (UK) a pretty interesting car show on UK TV amongst other things.

Reminds me of Germany's Unimog. Not that that is a bad thing. Hm then again for my needs my 05 Tacoma is my next truck for the foreseeable future. More interested in a car. Not that the truck is bad but at about 19 miles to the gallon unless the boss has me running all over town...

Alan Wood

I have not had jamming trouble with my 94ae in 44 magnum. An accuracy problem yes but the consensus of opinion is that that is the result of the loose butt stock which I need to fix. Then I will see if I need to move to peep sights or a scope.

Alan Wood

Welcome to the campfire Treetop! Someone who knows the answer should be along shortly. Though at this hour it might be tomorrow. Those rossi's sound very nice indeed!

Fascinating. I left the 'programming' world during the time when one could write 8088-based assembly-language for the routines needing fast processing, then use TurboPascal or other compilers to make code for the pre-Windows Microsoft environment.

Cat, If this is a windows computer right click on the file choose properties and a dialog box will pop up with a general tab. Somewhere the general tab should list type of file with the file extension in parentheses. If it's windows and you cant figure it out try posting a screen grab of it here. To...

I doubt that I am alone in counting 1903s as proper weapons here! You haven't been bad in my opinion. In fact I think you and you're son have chosen a fine weapon!

Not being a safe queen doesn't seem to bother many in this forum. Congratulations!

The elephant in the room with all late model 94's is the questions of reliability and build quality of them. Both seemed to be getting rather spotty at best during the last few years of winchester production.

I will at this point mention that my android phone that works pretty well is another htc phone as with Griffs. My coworkers is not.

Alan Wood

Much as I despise Apple the Iphone seems to be the way to go right now. :( My android phone works pretty well as a phone but a coworkers hung up on over half his incoming calls today and he just got it today. This is not him fat fingering it as this phone is the same model as his previous phone that...

When I was a security guard the 4 cell mag lights were popular here for just that reason.
