Wow. 10 years and this tread is still going. :D

Thanks Flint. I was not questioning. Just curious if there was a reason you let the little thing go. And 'just because it seemed like the thing to do' is plenty good enough reason. I've been following this thread for a while now and learn new things all the time. Thank you for the time and...

Flint... I'm curious why you let the shoat go? They grow up to be hogs! :D

None from me other than to report shooting the .41 mag at targets both in and out doors.

That is pure awesome. Nice find on the Marlin.

Ants, That is a nice score. Both on the 1911 barrel and the pile of brass. That Horrible Fright Lathe will get the job done. I have a similar lathe from a different brand. I live in an apt so for now this is my small workshop lathe. I was cutting with the tubing cutter before I got my lathe...

I like the way you think! :)

Hondo, I don't know why I keep forgetting you have an M57. And I have no answer why you are still fighting that unless your pistol is out of spec somehow. As I said in my writeup on the 38 -> Tok post not everyone has a lathe. However, for those interested you can buy the basic Taig lathe for...

I should have commented on this... I too keep what I have and what I do to myself. Nobody needs to know what I've got.

Hondo, You are still fighting that after all these years? (CZ52 yes?) These days being I have a metal lathe I no longer use 223 for forming cases. Instead I use either 38 SPL or 357 Magnum cases. Turn the rim down, cut to length and then form in a die. So much easier. (I may have even posted a...

We are diminished here with RC's passing. Hopefully I'll get to meet him in person once I get to the big Reloading Room in the Sky. Godspeed sir.

I use my Lyman trimmer.

That is awesome. Nice find.

That's a sweet piece. I have it's younger brother. 1969 4" Model 28. Was one of the first 100 guns made after the 1969 serial number changeover. Was also a Texas Dept. of Public Safety gun that was issued to a State Trooper. Without question one of my favorite wheel guns. I take it out to play...
