Thanks. I guess I need to re-set the swager and learn how to take the priming system apart. There is
a lot of small primer 45 brass out there.
-
What is the most effective efficient procedure when a primer is smashed (or something just doesn't feel right) in a 1050? especially when a small primer 45 case gets thru and the primer is stuck in halfway and prevents rotation of the plate. Assuming the primer has not ignited at this point. I'm sure this has been answered somewhere but I cant find it. Thanks.
the more detail and pics the better. I am new at this.

what single stack pouches are available bullet-out?
-
what is the best for replacing front and rear sights on a 25-2? front base is a spring load weigland. front blade and rear sight are broken. something simple - I'm, no gunsmith.

thnx! more suggestions welcome, in
case that aint it.

single stack 9mm custom gun. new or nearly new mags. both wilson and Dawson. magwell is a new Ice. using both no-gap insert with no-gap mags, and using the regular insert with other mag pads. sticking occurs only after ejecting a round and then slide lock. the empty mags dont always stick but usually do. they stick at the top - not at the magwell. very tight stick. it seems the ejection of the round or casing and then the slide lock pull the mag body up and into the top of the gun, but I am not sure about this.
thanks for input.

What is the new hot ticket for SS competition holsters? If there is such a thing. Uspsa and/or idpa.
-
What bullets, primers and powder for 45 SS? And what powder charge? Want to make major but not much more. 1911 5". I do not intend to use uncounted lead. Otherwise I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Other than the STI DVC classic, what are the top custom, semi-custom or very high quality single stack pistols for competition? Major only - 45 and 40.

new to the FART, but I like it so far.
Question: can you just let the pins air dry in a plastic box? they take up a large area if you spread them out on a towel to dry and it takes a long time.
Hint: dont tumble different calibers together. My first test run was a bunch of assorted brass of various calibers. the different sizes insert themselves into each other like drunken teenagers and have to be pulled apart manually to get the pins and water out.

223 from Atlanta Arms is on backorder. any suggestions for loaded practice ammo?
-
Armeggedon Gear makes a great arm board. the marker is water tight, but wipes off easily with an alcohol wipe (readily available at any drug store). so you can easily clear the board for each stage.

SMSI, have you tried Lucas Extreme Duty? It has a lower VOC than most lubes and I can hardly even smell it, but the odor it does have is pleasant. Their normal gun oil has no odor at all.
I may try Lucas. a friend of mine is sponsered by them. however, my real problem is with the solvent cleaners, not so much the lube. Break free does not bother me much, but I cant stand Kroil or Hoppes #9 anymore. so I might stick with the Frog lube cleaners until I run out, anyway. Any comments on using a non-petrol natural cleaner with a petrol based lube?
-
Quickly gets tacky (which not only makes your gun feel gross, it attracts dirt), gels up bad if you put more than a very thin coat on, doesn't play well with most slide greases (if you're the sort that likes to combo-lube), doesn't seem to hold up under perspiration at all. Smells great though!
But if you're one of the unlucky few who are allergic to petroleum products, it's one of your only decent choices. Most of the synthetics use some sort of petro-based product as either a carrier, pour point additive, migration agent, etc. FrogLube is advertised as being free of petrochemicals.
I am getting the tacky/sluggishness on my pistols and Benelli shotgun with Froglube. no problem on rifles. however, I am very sensitive to at least some petrochemicals (such as hoppes #9 and Kroil). What are the other non-petrol choices?
-
Looking for something that will find the target quickly and then allow for fine tuning to use horus reticle. the pistol grip I have wont fine tune very well.
any suggestions?
-
any advice on 10-22 sights on Benelli ribbed barrels?
-

What is the procedure to withdraw from a Regional and receive a refund of entry fees? The website says it must be done within 5 weeks of the match but I cannot find how to do that.
Due to injury I had to withdraw from the 2015 Southwestern Regional. From my understanding, if you withdraw more than 5 weeks prior to the match date, you will get a full refund. If its after the 5 week date but at least 2 weeks before the match you get a 50% refund.
I contacted Tennille Chidester at tennille@3gunnation.com She was great about it.

Bill is correct. Tennille is very prompt and helpful if you need to withdraw. Tennille Chidester <tennille@3gunnation.com>

I'm running an 18" Larue PredatAR 7.62. Not really zenning with it yet, but getting to like it. Whole different ballgame from a .223 for 3 Gun. I have limited experience with other HM rifles. I think I would go with 16" if starting over.
-
has anyone tried one of these? JP seems to be promoting them.
-
JP is now offering Armageddon triggers on its rifles. Anyone tried one?
