probably still faster than getting them from Lenny I have had a couple of connectors on order from him for almost a year now. I don't need them now but i thought I would just see how long it would take and I am still waiting.

my buddy has been waiting on them to complete his for over a year now. I would find someone else. I have used Zev and https://www.mapleleaffirearms.com/ and both were great and quick.

these will fit the 1050?

this seems like a fix for that. but if your factory one went that many rounds, you got good service out of it. https://immortobot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_45&products_id=372&zenid=vd8jmlnt2tas63cnf6tui8cq23

Idiocracy

I have bought stuff from Lenny but you have to beware of his hidden out of stock items I have 2 orders for Glock connectors and a couple of trigger housings which were in stock and available when I ordered them and a day or so later I get a backordered email and it takes months to finally get stuff Lonewolf is much better

if you have any mechanical skills at all, they are real easy. Here is a guy on the tube who has made a lot of videos on how to get a good build right from the start and what to look out for along the build, pretty rudimentary stuff but his techniques are sound. He has a play list of all his polymer 80 videos here.

you would need the proper shell plate and swage backup/expander

If it is a bare slide I wouldn't think any cerakoter would charge anything over $50 to do it and that is a high estimate. I know I would do those all day long. Graphite black looks just like the factory finish.

The fact that they are not hidden behind a counter is a good sign too.

I have one of these and have used on many different pistols and it comes with the blocks to use on almost every pistol out there. Made in San Diego by an American I tape everything up real good when I am reinstalling the sights back in. They have another new model now that is a different design but i have not looked into it. Glocks are easy to do with a delrin punch and hammer but Springfield must install their sights with a hydraulic press and they require a good sight tool. https://sightpusher.com/product/xl-handgun-sight-tool/

exactly, what does this press do for 4 times the price? I am sure it is beautiful and very well made but I will stick with my Lee turret for odd random rounds. I don't have any reason to remove my 1050 as I don't have anywhere else to put it, my walls are all covered by shelves but that looks well made.

to me it looks like a really, really precise version of a RCBS turret press. Maybe it is for the 6mm bench rest guys. I have my 1050 mounted directly to a 1.5" thick bench top and I can't see it getting any more rigid than it is.

very nice.

yes, HAZMAT and non HAZMAT stuff ship on the same truck and are even on the same paperwork but that isn't the cost factor. The whole system is expensive, all the paperwork for just the HAZMAT items, the training and extra insurance plus the extra scrutiny the company and drivers go through on a daily basis. There are Federal regulations and regular inspections of the papers and facilities to put up with too. Permits in almost every state that you operate in are required too. I have to have a FBI background check whenever I renew my drivers license and I have to pay for that. If you look on Gunbroker and see all these private parties selling powder and primers, there has to be a majority of that shipped by the USPS in priority mail packages unknown to the USPS and we all know how bad some of the packages we receive are handled when we get them.

I have heard it on radio news in the past and then this article https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2013/12/23/the-last-lead-smelter-in-the-us-closes-because-the-hippies-won/#5f18f74d642b

I heard all the lead smelters in the USA have been shut down for pollution reasons, thanks bin 0bama, so they are all waiting on shipments from overseas, namely china, so that may be the biggest hold up.

We are definitely seeing which companies get their stuff made overseas. Have you tried Lonewolf?

I ordered some from Missouri Bullet on August 28 and half the order showed up here in Kalifornistan the next Wednesday. They were the some of the .401 and all the .458 so I guess they had the not so popular ones in stock The other half is more .401 and .356 and are taking a while I just made an order from Precision Bullet the other day and they say 10-12 weeks

I just got one of these last week and I did the silicone in the box trick with some Winchesters which is what I was in the middle of using before I got the DAA and they worked OK. I then had some Wolfs that it didn't like very much but worked OK with the silicone. I then had a few hundred Remingtons to use up and those were the absolute worse. It didn't really help using the silicone. I have another 1k of those and they may be trade bait with a friend or so. Next up was CCIs and those work perfect. Then I ran out of 40 S&W bullets. I am waiting on some 9mm brass then I will be back at it in a couple of weeks.

got mine today installed it but not used yet very nice quality thanks, sir

the best thing about the UniqueTec part is that it gives more fine tuning to the measurement I don't really look at the numbers and go back to them, I just like the extra fine threading and being able to see the numbers while slightly moving it

I had lots of trouble just making the primer system run without jamming up or not feeding so I removed it while loading 223 since I wasn't running cases thru that portion. I just set up the machine to do 9mm and just threw the primer arm on there without adjusting at all and already had a new piece of tubing there and it works like a dream but if I remember correctly, I had to do some sanding on the outside of the tubing I used to make it perfect there are so many different manufacturers of vacuum tubing and I am sure they all make a slightly different OD since the only real requirement is the ID of the tubing, you may have to shop around to find the one that is perfect
