Folks, anyone with experience assembling a parts kit into a bare Lone Wolf TWF1 frame? Their customer service chat is closed until Monday, and I ran into a glitch I haven't seen addressed in the various YT instructional videos. Basically, there's a block of plastic in way of the trigger...

Pulled* 160+ lbs of brass from under the reloading bench, and took* it to recycling. Cleared out pretty much everything commercial that wasn't once-fired by me. Also kept most of the LC-xx brass in 5.56. *With my lifting restrictions, this required a local young man with a strong back for...

(snip) Congratulations!

Last two guns are a KSG410 and a Vz61 rebuild via Samopal-USA

Purchased a Savior brand soft gun case for my new KSG410. In the gunroom I opened the shipping boxes for disposal and found this printed on the inside. Nice touch, people. (E2A: purchased from Midway, corrected typo)

This vendor on Etsy made a primer catcher that works very well on my RCBS Jr. He also has a design for a Rock Chucker and RC II. And many other brands and models: 80 total. https://www.etsy.com/listing/690651735/rcbs-reloading-press-rc-primer-cather

First range day in 9 months, and just finished sorting out the 7.65 Browning/32ACP and 410 hulls in the reloading room. Stayed within Dr's directive regarding recoil, only shot a Beretta Tomcat 3032 and a Kel-tec 410 shotgun. I will say that the KSG410 WILL NOT accept Hornady factory duplex...

Can't help but think of the great food stops along the way.

"So, Mr Impaler; may I call you Vlad?"

AAC is Palmetto State Armory's new ammo line. Doesn't seem to be much about it online; some say it could be more accurate, others are having failure to eject with the 77gr projos. No recalls mentioned that I could find.

My recent Etsy primer trap works well when depriming. A used CPAC hose fits up nicely to the provided nipple, and a few nuts taped for weight to the end of the hose keeps it in the capture bucket. FAR less mess.

Receiver arrived today. I was bit surprised to see this is not a pristine new item; it has mounting marks from the trigger guard, drag marks from the safety, and a few small dings from metal-on-metal contact at the rear from an upper housing slamming shut. Still, I re-read the original GunBroker...

A while back, an acquaintance had an older custom bolt gun in 260 from his grandfather. Scary gun; pull the trigger and the gun would take 5-8 seconds for the sear to drop, or it might take another 8-10 seconds. Scary. Turns out Granddad regularly sprayed the trigger (Sako) assembly with...

And a strong magnet for the pins

...(arrived Weds), and a couple of US-made barrels from Royal Tiger Imports (RTI) due in Monday or so. RTI had some good sale prices last week for an *unissued* kit and new US barrel for under $260. Hard to beat that. Lower is still on its way to my LGS. I'll try the barrels for a plunk test...

When I last epoxy-bedded something (back in the 90s) I had a can of paste turtle wax I'd had around since the early 80s. Is the new production stuff not suitable?

One gunsmith on the East Coast says he's received US-made barrels with a shallow chamber, and one that was a sloppy fit in the trunnion.

Got the Vz61 receiver on the way, and just ordered a kvar parts kit. Anyone have experience with US- made barrels for these? I've heard some GB sources have poor quality machining and fit up isn't that good compared to stock Cz made. Anyone have a good experience with a US Made barrel for their...

Putting a few things away in the reloading room, including some 85 grain .308 caliber semi jacketed bullets for my 1905 Mannlicher. They're now properly filed away to wait until Buffalo Arms gets off TDC and turns down some 32-20 cases for my Mannlicher brass. It's been on backorder since July...

My Mini-30 required three things before I could get meaningful results from hand loads. First, I went to a smaller gas port from Accuracy. Then I lapped and torqued the gas block during reassembly. Finally, I had the trigger group lapped/tuned by a guy with experience doing Garand triggers...
