I make jewelry (key chains, pull chains and necklaces) from fired cases and I came up with this simple set-up to drill my flash holes. I drilled holes in a piece of scrap steel and a pair of old vice-grips and attached them using screws and wing-nuts. I cut a couple pieces of 1/2...

When I shoot my Garand I don't even THINK about picking the brass up right away. That -06 brass gets toasty! Tim the student: I just bought an AR and I can see how you'd get burned like that. Thank you for your service! Nice name too.... Closet (Tim ;))

I want one!!! Nice job, Runninshu and Innovative!

This is my one and only 10/22. I guess you could call it a 10/22 M1 Carbine. I found the M1 Carbine stock for $15. I had to Dremil out some wood and glass bed the stock so the barrel and receiver would fit. The only other parts that aren't stock are the Tech-sights and the recoil...

+1 for polygunbag.com! Great people to deal with.

I had some but I just sold most of it to a guy on this forum, Sorry. :banghead: I'd try the Traders forum either here or over at CMP and see if you get any hits. Good luck and You'll LOVE that little Carbine!!!!! Closet

I don't load when I'm tired, distracted, frustrated, ect, ect... I learned the hard way. When I first started my "better half" had a Bad habit of coming over to the bench to talk and stuff. Well, after 2 squibs in one magazine in my M1 Carbine:cuss:, I told her VERY NICELY to NOT bother me...

That would be it!!! Thank you, Sir!:D Closet

I got into reloading when my Dad got a Garand a couple years ago and we had a hard time finding M2 Ball (I didn't know about CMP then) to feed it. When I saw the end of the cheap, surplus -06 on the horizon I figured reloading would be the only way to go. I now load for 2 Garands, 2 M1...

Rubbing alcohol? For small batches (20 or so pieces): I use a rag with a little rubbing alcohol after trimming with a Lee case length gauge in an electric screwdriver. I trim with C.L.G., ream and then hit with rag for a couple turns. Quick and easy. For large batchs (50-200 pieces)...

I've had great results with AA#9. (Min 11.3 /Max 12.6) Start low and work up. 12.2gr behind 110gr fmj. O.A.L. 1.670-1.675 I've tried H110 and IMR4227 but I keep going back to the #9. Closet

Oh, Yeah, I forgot to add in my O.P. that I originally got into reloading because my Dad and I have a couple M1 Garands and I could see the end of the cheap, surplus M2 Ball on the horizon. I figured reloading was the only way that we'd be able to shoot these battle rifles in the future without...
