Apparently this isn't the case - the Benelli stuff is all out of stock so it doesn't show up on the drop down menus.
-
There is NOTHING for a Benelli on their sight, and Brownell's lists some of the Benelli items as "Discontinued by Manufacturer"...what's up with that?
Not the case - just out of stock.

I don't get it.... how can folks put up with 2 to 3 hours on hold? or 3 weeks of no returned phone calls?
I have called Hornady like a month ago, broke some minor springs... phone picked up within 5 mins, and I received parts, free of charge within 3 days.
I hope dillon hires some help.

I would agree that it would be frustrating for sure - and I would probably try getting BE to help me in that situation. They need to step up with Customer Service to help out their customers in need of parts, but I am sure they can barely afford the time to scratch their asses right now, let alone hire AND train new help. Sometimes it is more efficient to do it all with what you have and wait till things cool off a bit to expand.

It may be that they have certain configurations in process (batches for 9mm, 45acp, 223, etc). I ordered a 650 for a 223 from Brian on 3/21 and had the press in about 8 days. The remainder (case hopper, case feed plate, as it should BE upgrade) showed up yesterday.
-
That always happens with my Hornady and RCBS measures too. I, like everyone else, throw 4-5 charges back into the hopper and then way the next to confirm the setting.

Thanks! I have an acct at MSC already.

Bearing kit helped mine
Is there a part number for this kit or his it a monster garage fix?

I had shells hang up on the top of the chamber lip. I bent about 1/2" of the tip of the lifter down just a tad so the shells wouldn't get pushed up so sharply. Worked 100% after that.

A little late on the response here, but I WOULD NOT use 290 unless it was in an area where heat can be applied and there is no chance of stripping out the head of the screw (like an Allen Head Screw).
I attended a Loctite Seminar put on for our company (when I had a real job), and they had us put 290 on a 3/8 bolt. Then they had us try to remove the nut after everything had dried. The nut broke loose super easy, then bound up tighter than you could imagine. It was not possible to turn the nut in either direction after that. If you look at the specs, the break away torque is really low, but the removal torque is very high.
I would avoid 290 for small screws that you ever want to get apart and can't put heat on.

I just want to see the picture of Mike Voigt wearing the skirt for getting beat by Julie
To be honest, if I placed 15th at Bianchi, I'd parade in a freaking thong.
Don't take offense to this, but I think you would be the only one there...

Julie did awesome - 14th overall is amazing.

I had the same problem when I put a Limbsaver on my M1, but Limbsaver sells a coating that you paint on like fingernail polish, and it kills the tackiness. I painted it on the top of the pad so it wouldn't stick to my clothes while mounting the shotgun.

For some reason I had a total brain fart and forgot to stop by the booth to take a look at it

Looking to pick up an M&P 9 (most likely used) - given that this product has evolved some - is there any particular serial number range to avoid or some tell tale sign to look for?
Thanks
-
Mark is great to deal with - I picked up a 24" M2 from him some time back, and I was also able to get a 21" barrel from him at a later date. They seem to hold their customers in high regard.
-
Thanks guys. One reviewer complained of headaches and thought it might be due to sound distortion while using the Sordins.
-
I would like to use my electronic muffs for hunting as well, so I have a quick question for all you Sordin users...
How is the quality of the audio? I have read in some reviews that the sound is a bit distorted as compared to the Pro-Ears.
Do you guys find it necessary to double plug with the Sordins when using a rifle?
Thanks
-
No, there are subtle differences here and there. The receivers are different, so the stocks are not interchangeable. Different trigger group (M1 is aluminum, M2 is plastic), different barrel/choke system.
I didn't find a great deal of difference between my M2 with Comfortech and my M1 with a Limbsaver, so I sold the M2.

He was my first pick too...only doing long range rifle work and not doing small stuff.
So...unless he is your brother or cousin and you can talk him into doing it for me I will need another name : )
You could call in a unused "marker"

I was just about to send you a PM for some direction...so I guess I have an answer!

All I need is a simple drill and tap for a mount (don't have a mill or drill press), but the only one I know of here in town I wouldn't trust to run a brush down my barrel.
Anywhere within an hour or so drive of Spokane would be fine with me.
Thanks

Thanks for the pic!

Well, first I bought a new scale that would read in .1 increments. Then I did up 10 rounds with 4.9-5.0gr of HP38.
These seemed to work OK. I will be going to the 200gr FMJ bullets, and probably switching powder to Titegroup. Had a lot of recommendations on that. However, I am having a bit of problem determining if I am achieving the proper crimp on these ACP rounds. I have calipers to check it. Anyone know the figure I should be looking for?
.001-.002 crimp should be good. Measure your neck thickness, multiply x2 and add a bullet diameter. that is your start, and then you want your crimped round to be .001-.002 less than that. If you over do it, it will probably be worse than no crimp at all. It really doesn't take much, and I wouldn't be surprised if some barely crimp at all.

Anyone have a pic of their SLP with a +1 extension mounted on it?

That just kicks ass.
If you want some custom rims, I would get in touch with one of the Custom Chopper guys. They do all their stuff custom from AL Billets and could do the bolt pattern easily. I bet one of them out there would comp you a pair of rims.
