Hi Y'all Been awhile since I've been on. Sorry bout that. Well I got a manual for my Pre-88 TZ-75 and even trade for a TZ-75 88 Series manual. work dandy and reads easy. Now I'm working as a gunsmith as a side line due to being disabled, it works out well because it's not a heavy muscle job. Thanks for all your help. Yours in service James Acerra The 101900 EAA mag fits and functions fine. No it will not preform in Condition 1, the safety will not engage until the hammer is down.

Hi Y'all Well here's a question from a beginner. Is there a difference in reloading a FMJ/HB over a FMJ/FB? Thanks for any assistance. Yours in service James Acerra

Hi Y'all I just received a (new) bag 100ct of Winchester 9mm Luger brass. The question I have is I ran them thru my calipers and found a variation ranging from .749 - .751 with the most of them at .750, Is this normal or is it my OCD hitting me hard lol? The .749 was the least at 20 the .750 had 45 and the .751 at 35. Is it best to trim the .751 down and use the .749 for fodder? Seeing how hard it is to get brass these days. And the LEE 2nd Ed. load manual show the 9mm Luger COAL at .754 is this Max COAL? Well here's hoping for some help. Yours in service James Acerra

Hi Y'all I was giving my new (used) Pre 88 FIE Tanfoglio TZ-75 it's first cleaning the horror, after receiving it from the transfer. The front ramp sight white paint flaked off leaving bare blue metal. I got some NG GM 387 Pure White touch up paint pen/brush. Whats the best way to repaint the front ramp? Also the rear white is rather cruddy but hasn't come off but is rather brownish from oil and grunge from the last owner. Would it be best to scrape that out and repaint it also? Thanks all for any assistance. Yours in service James Acerra
