    Holy Mother of....Its better than Christmas!

    I've made many a face-face contact with people from here. My approach here is the same as Craigslist - we've got some sort of connection, things in common, and I'd rather trust 100 people and have 99 great exchanges than be a suspicious dick to everyone I come in contact with. Age helps -...

    Holy Mother of....Its better than Christmas!

    Random Guy, too bad we didn't connect earlier. I just sold a real deal, Navy armorer built M14 on the Marine Corp camo stock. All USGI except for the receiver. Oh well.

    Change to left handed?

    Making a side change for supposed eye dominance is asinine. You have many options for correcting your strong side eye; you shoot a monocular system (scope or irons) with just one eye ANYWAY. I prefer to mount the correction to the rifle, so that you are not reliant on prescription glasses and...

    Vintage Military Rifle Shoot

    Very cool. Every December the club in Cheyenne WY puts on the "Frosin Chosin" match. It's also a toy drive. Gonna have to try it some year. I've put on a few vintage matches over the years. We invite the local re-enactor regiments to come out too in full garb. Makes for a fun time.

    Redding die problem, can I salvage the brass?

    Wilson case gauges are awesome. You must have not figured out how to use it correctly. In a perfect world, the gunsmith chambering your barrel would make a case gauge using the same reamer as he used for chambering your barrel.

    Redding die problem, can I salvage the brass?

    Buy a Wilson case gauge for every bottleneck cartridge you reload for, at least as a new reloader, then learn how to use it, if you want to understand what is going on with your setup. Also, spray lube sucks. I've used a dozen different things. RCBS lube and lube pad is easy to control...

    Accessories WTS - 30 cal 150 gr BT bullets - 1000 - $130 shipped CONUS

    Midway has these for $.22 each right now. I'll take half that, and $20 to cover shipping. You can make M2 and M80 Ball equivalent ammo that will shoot an MOA or more better than the real thing. Great for M1 matches on the SR-1 target. Not a bad semi-acccurate bullet for 308 bolt gun steel...
