  1. any chance you have any specs or drawings on that beasty that you would be willing to share? I'd love to get together with some of the guys from work to build one of these for my club. Oh and I love the hitech paintbrush sweeper!
  2. I've just ordered a crosspin as mine has worn rather badly and makes a nasty click/bang noise occasionally. the shaft also shows some wear, but I think replacing my pin will do it. I've flipped the pin over for now and it appears to be working fine.
  3. Henning might sell lots of different hammer springs, but none of them are Tanfoglio. Production Division in IPSC, means we have to use stock factory springs. All it would take is for Tanfoglio to repackage lighter weight Wolff springs and we'd be set. Good news on the front sight!
  4. Funny I was thinking the exact same thing about the Fibre Optic sight. Longer would be better, and in just the same way with the screw under the rod. Since I suck at using a lighter to put my FO rod in, I use superglue as told to on here, this results in a smaller area to look at on the sight, no big mushed out glob. In essence my .60 rod looks like a .40 that's been heated up and mushroomed to stay in place. as mentioned before, straighter triggers for the Stock II and the bigger safeties too (for the Stock II of course). Also more spring availability would be nice. so we can play with hammer springs.
  5. http://quineticscorp.com/index.asp the new twist chuck is a stroke of genius. I pulled 250 rounds in about 1/2 hour, while on the phone, the other night at work. saved all the powder and reloaded the rounds yesterday. you no longer have to undo the chuck to remove the case, you just give it a partial turn and dump it out. then stick the next case in, turn it slightly till tight, push the case more until it clicks on the rim, tighten again and give it a few whacks. let the puller pounce, don't try and do it in one hard hit, light bouncing hits work better.
  6. I grabbed a couple hundred .50 AR fired cases and tried them in a tube to see if I'd have problems, and I couldn't get them to hang up. the rims didn't go into the mouths at all.
  7. I compared the mags for the Limited in .40 to my 9mm Stock II mags and the .40's are slightly larger. What we need to find is someone who has a .40 Stock II and a 9mm type Limited Custom. I'll do some more searching, and I guess ask Darth Pinto about the safeties. I think they should be legal, as they are factory parts??? but then again probably not, if it's not an option from the factory.
  8. Ok so what's the difference between the frames on these guns? I tried out a Limited in .40 today and want the safeties off of it on my Stock II. will they fit? will it be legal in Production Division? and why did the .40 mags from the Limited didn't even go in my mag well, and my mags didn't fit lock into the Limited. I thought the frames were the same size? I also thought the mags would be the same, except for feed lips and follower maybe.
  9. Thank you so much for your pics and video. what was your old trade? engineer of some sort perhaps? you've got one of the best, if not the best, setups I've ever seen. I would love to see it in person, I bet you've got all sorts of neat little gizmos that we'd all just love.
  10. the pin/stem I meant was the one that seats the primer, not the punch pin that knocks out the old one. I've bent those ones, broken them etc etc so many times it's sick. .22 cases, rocks, chunks of brass, .32 ACP cases, etc all inside 9mm cases (not at once obviously). I had one night where I was ready to burn my house down. I broke 15 primer punches in about 2 hours. That was the night I Dremeled my media separator so that anything smaller than a 9mm case will fall out. since then I've broken one and that was on a case that fed into the shell plate upside down and somehow made it to the resizing station and I didn't notice.
  11. I've had the same problem off and on since I got my 1050. Finally it came to a head a month or so ago. I guess I had a few too many primers not get punched out at the resizing die station (no idea why) and then the swager would squish them in, not always able to feel it, but once it hit the priming station it would mangle the primer and cause a jam. I replaced the resisizing die with a RCBS one, and then still had problems in the priming station. eventually I pulled the primer seating stem out and looked at it. it was mushed on one side, likely as a result of the screw ups. one new stem and I've had maybe one or two mangled primers in 5000 rounds. no idea what caused those ones, but it wasn't anything like the above, and the stem is nice and square. It's also possible that your stem is bent, not just mushed on the top.
  12. he's thinking, "My Feet are cold" sorry couldn't resist. I look at that image and think how it represents what I'd like to be able to obtain, perfect focus without thinking and totally relaxed. Zen.
  13. very well, hope to see you guys at a match again soon.
  14. Proteus, I am interested in seeing video of your GSI system running. I would also like to see the rest of your bench as it appears you load single round stuff for rifle perhaps? it looks like you have some nice higher end gear sitting there!
  15. watch out for his lovely assistant, she's dangerous! (well ok, she's not, or maybe she is, but she is a helluva a nice person!)
  16. and here I thought Apple was branching out or something?
  17. condolences Angus, wish you well.
  18. I meant the very specific "box to box" stuff that we used to see, it's no longer allowed in IPSC. it has to be "freestyle" or standards. So no more shoot 4 rounds in the box, 2 while going to the next one, and reload before getting into the next box kind of stuff.
  19. did a 2 day course with Todd last year, worth every penny. funny guy and a great teacher. we were supposed to get him back this year before out Nats, but it didn't work out. Hopefully we can get him back before the Worlds next year. his foot work is amazing, but the technique for entering and transitioning from boxes is on it's way out, at least in IPSC as we don't use boxes anymore. However his technique for moving to and from positions is almost the same, and that is applicable to IPSC. I think in USPSA you guys still use boxes correct?
  20. http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?q...s*listing*title if someone is looking for a copy.
  21. so anyone else have the new M2 chrono from CED? and does the voice chip thingy work for you? I can't get it to work for mine and really don't want to send it back to CED if it's just me being dumb.
  22. good job! bet it's nicer than the job I did. I'll try and get pics tomorrow so you can all laugh. my buddy had a good one today, .40 case in a .44 mag. that made him really happy when he was reloading.
  23. so who else is going to prank call Henning???????????????? hehehehe have fun dude say hi to Frank for me, I plan on hitting Norway in 09 or 2010. gotta get there eventually and meet family I've never met before. I also want to do some seal hunting with suppressed rifles, like gopher shooting only bigger!
  24. FP safety has to be left in, but I can clean up any rough areas on it too, I have enough trouble getting the sear spring back in, not sure I'd want to mess with it, and besides that, those nasty PD rules jump in again, same with lightening the trigger spring. I hope Tanfoglio really is working on getting some new parts out to us. I'd like a bigger set of safeties for my fat thumbs to sit on, preferably ones that didn't work as safeties........ hmm would that make the gun PD legal still????????? the interupter hasn't shown any signs of contact with anything, any hints on where it should be cleaned up?
