[Maine - Any Uspsa Activity There?]

A few of us New Brunswick CANADA shooters are looking to reach into Maine to shoot and make some contacts for them to come up here to shoot.

Is there any USPSA activity there?

[Area7/aware - 2007]

Three of us from New Brunswick CANADA are planning to attend this year. Is there any KOA Camppgrounds in the vacinity?

[How Do You Lubricate Brass?]

I have found a drop or two of baby oil works wonders for keeping the dust down in walnut media.

[550 Tips and Tricks]

I just recenntly ran into a simular problem, check and see if the hex screws/bolts holding up the roller bracket shell platform is firmly attached. Mine backed off and caused me major grief, and took me a while to find the problem.

I've read this thread through and through to find some way to figure out why my 45 ACP primers are being loaded at a slight angle.  Racine

[Load & Make Ready]

I have my own story of embarssing moments. I was giving my Gold Cup a through cleaning in my early days in IPSC (1991) and put her back together, cycle checked it, dropped the hammer, etc. all was well.

I was called to the line and instructed to 'Load & Make Ready' , I drew my GC, got a hold of a mag , and tried to insert it, , only took me 30 seconds to figure out I put the mag well on backwards (one of those with rabbit ears.

Needless to say, if I do a detailed strip, I fire the gun before showing up at a match.

[How well do you drive?]

I voted for 'I feel that roads are only a suggested path of travel.' wonder why??

[Dillon 550 Toolhead Stand]

Whist setting up a brainstorm come to mind for a toolhead holder. This is the prototype and will be followed up with some less warped wood , and other minor alterations, what do you think?

It's made with 50BMG cases with the primer holes drilled out to accomadate a screw to fasten them down. bottle neck allows the toolhead to rest on it and keeping the dies from hitting the bench/surface. It took me a while to figure out how to neck the 50BMG down. I used the center hole in the 550 toolhead (from the bottom side, tapped them in a couple of times) then flipped the toolhead over, tapped the neck back in and collapsed the shoulder just a smidgon to stop the neck from returning/springing back to a larger size.

[What Do You Shoot in Production?]

G17 - Absolutely no feedng problems, works under all conditions, however, it took me awhile to transition from the 1911 GC to it. Now I'm going to a P16 for the 2005 Canadian Nationals.

Now that is an excellent picture of the single stack 1911. Very clean, nice contrast.

[STI 2011 Eagle 5.5]

You mean the grip safety is loose and jiggles because it isn't held by the mainspring housing? That happened to both my Limited guns. I had BrianH fix it with a little pin connecting the two.

Yes, the grip safety blows by the mainspring housing and I have to pop it back in place. I have nothing against pinning it, however, for the amount of change I had to throw at it, I would like to see it function properly.

[STI 2011 Eagle 5.5]

Hi all

I just purchased an STI 2011 Eagle 5.5 in 38 Super (used)

I find that the grip safety is slipping by the mainspring housing. The claws(?) are not engaging the mainspring housing to keep it in place. Any ideas what is going on?
