The case is not hung up as it enters the shell plate. The 9mm case that should be moving towards the shell plate is hung up under the stack of brass above it.

Yes, it's the green one

I'm loading once fired 9mm on my 1050. I'm having trouble with the brass being delivered to the shell plate. What appears to be happening is the piece of brass that is moving towards the shell plate causes the one above it to slightly tip backwards. The one that should be moved to the shell plate is now stuck to the one above. This is happening quite a bit. Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution? Thanks

Our club has 4 drop turners, we believe to be Action Target. These units are the old style that use a leather washer in the tube to force air towards the bottom and different colored valves at the bottom to control air release. Does anyone have parts for these older drop turners? I contacted Action Target and they couldn't help me. Thanks, Ray

Our club just bought 5 Android based tablets to use with Practiscore to score our matches. Does anyone know if you can establish a shooter data base in the program? Is it possible to copy the data base from EWS and import it into Practiscore? If copying the data base over is possible, can someone explain how to do it? Thanks

Does anyone know if it's possible to mill off a light rail on a 1911 frame? If so, what would I expect to pay to have it done? Thanks

Spoke with Rusty this morning. Said he couldn't help with this problem. Going to try Derek at Millennium Custom.

I have what I believe is a Rusty Kidd extractor in a 40. This is the one that required enlarging the extractor tunnel. The hook just broke on it and I'm looking for options to get it replaced. I heard that someone made a sleeve to return the tunnel to original size but haven't been able to find any information about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I called Novak direct. They told me none of their sights fit a Heinie cut. There must be someone out there that makes a replacement adjustable rear sight for the Heinie cut.

As far as I know, that sight is for a Novak cut.

I have a 2011 with a Heinie cut rear sight. I would like to replace it with an adjustable rear sight. I've been in touch with Heinie, Novak, and Ken Sight with no luck. I spoke with a well known custom gunsmith who told me due to to the location of the dovetail of a Heinie cut you can't re-cut the slide and install a Bomar style sight. On the internet I found a sight called an HD adjustable fixed sight but no one I've been in touch with knows anything about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ray

I had the idea and a local sheet metal shop built it for me.

Here are a few pictures of a media separator stand. The top section which sprays water to rinse brass if your wet tumbling is removable. The media or pins drop through and collet in a bucket at the bottom. Nice to be doing this standing up.

The 2011 Florida State Championship will be held at The Titusville Rifle & Pistol Club on November 5-6. The match will consist of 9 stages, 6 shot on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.

Any questions, feel free to contact me, ray1425@cfl.rr.com Thanks, Ray Lambert, match director

I have had a few cases that haven't gotten under the sizing die properly. When the press comes down and hits the case, there is a clutch that will slip preventing any damage. There is a switch on the control box which will allow you to put the press into reverse. You flip the switch, reverse the press a little, and get the now damaged case out of the way. I haven't had any problems with primers.

I received my auto drive for the Dillon 650 about a week ago. It took a bit of adjusting to get the primers to seat all the way in. The auto drive used with the Mr. Bullet feeder will load 100 rounds in about 4 minutes. I've loaded 3,000 major 9 with it so far. I am having about a 12 thousand deviation in OAL. My 650 is set up with the Unique Tec toolhead clamp kit, so there is zero play in the toolhead. Just wanted to check if anyone else has an auto drive and if so is the deviation in OAL the same.

Thanks but the phone number doesn't work and the e-mail bounced back.

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement springs for the Texas Star?

The problem is reliability of the mags in 9mm. I spoke to Henning 2 days ago and he is having some success with the small frame mags in the large frame guns but still has a few bugs to work out.

Makes me wish I had taken shop classes in high school

I spoke to Henning about both of the items I'm looking for. He said he was seriously considering making these items, but nothing right now. EGW makes a hardened slide stop pin. But it does not "attach" to the slide stop; there is no need to have a slide stop on your gun. There are also base pads out there, but I'd buy them up as soon as you find then since Tanfoglio is no longer making Gold Teams on the small frame/small magazine size. Back in the day there was a guy who would take a hardened pin and weld it to a slide release. Just wondering if someone was doing that, don't like the hole in the side of the gun where the slide release should be. Henning told me EAA still makes the small frame, they just don't send them to this country. He said he was trying to get them to start sending them here again. How about making it yourself? I'm sure that you can find a gunsmith that would weld the hardened pin. I would try finding a vendor in canada that makes the base pad since it is popular there? last stop I would do would be to email Eric Grauffel to see if he can help. i have gotten parts from him and he was able to mail it to U.S. just expensive? Thanks, I'll check with a few friends in Canada
