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.

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.

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.

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.

very well, hope to see you guys at a match again soon.

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!

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!)

and here I thought Apple was branching out or something?

condolences Angus, wish you well.

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.

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?

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.

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.

pics???????????

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!

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?

wait a minute, Dillon didn't use the mask guy to sign off his post with, what gives?

did the trigger bow already, although I didn't do the sides that can contact with the frame (you around the parts that go around the mag well) as there is no contact there, I just lube that area. What I basically did was look for areas that showed wear from the first few hundred rounds I put through it, and then polished them. I'll definitely look at the firing pin safety though, but not sure why the firing pin itself? just where the safety engages on it maybe?

so been playing with my new SII and have done some polishing to various parts, plunger, hammer, sear, etc. just wondering what others have done? I've found that the plunger made the most difference to the feel of the trigger pull, it was very rough, machine marks visible on it rough, and polishing it to a mirror finish made a huge difference. For a nicer reset I polished the bottom edge of the sear that the trigger bar rides on, and then connects to. huge difference to reset. I suppose for USPSA you guys could try changing angles in that area (trigger bar/sear) but for IPSC we can't obviously. any one have any other hints for the SII that are different from the SA guns? I am now sitting at 1454 round through this gun in the last 1.5 weeks. I'll be putting another 4-500 hundred through it this week, at least, if not more.

lots of them in Canada. they seem to shoot fine, and if you are posting on Canadiangunnutz.com you can talk directly to the owner of the company K100 is his posting name.

heh, that would rock.

my probelm seems to be overheating the FO, it loses it's brightness. Superglue will be tried I guess.

diggin up old threads. I think I am going to get some superglue tomorrow as the mushroomed ends are no where near as bright as the plain old cut ends. so when using the superglue method do you guys put a little in the hole at the front of the sight, then push the rod through, or put the rod in the hole, almost lined up, then some glue on the rod and push it in the rest of the way, from the muzzle?

this machine isn't a rotary, it's a vibration one just like the Dillons, Midway etc. only much much bigger. same kind of bowl too.
