Is there an alternative to the Mr. Bullet Feeder?
rlapid216 replied to Cuz's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
This won't help you now since they're out of business, but I've had great success with my GSI bullet feeding system. Their only crux was their collator. I frankensteined the GSI head with a MBF collator and haven't looked back. Their head allows me to add a powder check/lock out die in addition to a bullet feeder -

Has anyone tried the F&FB swage backup/expander in station 3 (1050/1100)? https://fastandfriendlybrass.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=85 I’ve been meaning to try it to help reduce my popping when expanding the case mouth. Looks like you’ll need a Dillon swage backup die body and lock nut that is used for the rifle calibers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Any GCI bullet feeder users here?
rlapid216 replied to bababoris's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I have a few for my 1050, .38sup, 9mm, .45, and the unicorn .223. A couple years ago they were somewhat available, but lately they hardly come up for sale. I use the MBF collator instead of the GSI collator and I've had no problems. I think the major wear items for the 1050 version is the index wheel and the gas shock. The shock should be easy to source. The index wheel assembly would be easy to reproduce by a good machinist. For the most part, it should provide service for a long time on a manual press. I wouldn't run it on an automated press. -
Dillon 9mm upgraded shell plate?
rlapid216 replied to chgofirefighter's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
If you buy the FF&B plate, don’t forget to buy the extractor tab, too. You can bend the factory tab, but I found their tab worked out of the box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I agree as I have the 9mm and .223 GSI toolhead for my 1050. The only problem with GSI is the bullet collator. I use the Mr Bulletfeeder collator to feed the GSI head. I have to use the MBF feeder for .300 blackout as it wasn’t available through GSI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Inline Fab Quick Change Plate System
rlapid216 replied to EarlKeese's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I use it and it’s awesome. It’s very solid and changing the plate is as simple as unscrewing 2 thumbscrews. I use it for a small Lee reloader, Star lubesizer, and Mec sizemaster. One thing to consider is height. My Mec is a little uncomfortable at the height where my other presses work well. Inline Fab now makes an elevated workbase for the quick change system. If you have presses that need varying height, I would buy the flush mount base plate and use the elevated workbase for the presses that need height. Hope that helps.

not sure about the measurements, but I found these sights https://suarezinternational.com/suarez-cowitness-plain-black-rear-sight-sig-p226-p320/ for the rear, and these https://suarezinternational.com/suarez-cowitness-plain-black-front-sight-sig-p226-p320/ for the front. Unfortunately they're not in stock

what spring did you use? -
Have you seen this line of P320's that Sig started selling? It's the RXP line they come with front and rear suppressor height iron sights in addition to a Romeo1 Pro. Retail is $900-$1100 depending on barrel length you choose

Nice! It took a little bit for me to adjust to the dot, too. I couldn’t find it right away when I pressed out. I read a tip about focusing the back plate to my nose, that helped a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice! Is that the compact slide? Have you seen Parker Mountain Machine’s barrel & comp packages? I have their original single port and their ultra comp dual port. Just need a RXP compact slide to finish my ultra comp build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They're cut for the R1Pro, but they come with suppressor height sights front and rear for back up

I just noticed these on Gunbroker. Looks like a great alternative to milling your slide for both a RDS and BUIS Retail is around $900-$1100 depending on the barrel length Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My X-Five is doing the same thing with my RHT level 2 holster. The t-nuts for the mount and the hood are right in path of the slide when I re-holstered. At first, I had Kydex shavings from the front sight and thought it was just Kydex residue being rubbed in. After a cleaning, I noticed scrapes in the slide. I wish I realized it sooner so I could have applied some adhesive felt or cloth tape to stop further damage. It’s superficial, but I had early thoughts of selling the gun. I guess she’s a keeper, now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got the RHT level 2 for my X-Five. It’s super secure and a quick draw. The only issue was that the t-nut of the hood was rubbing on the slide when I re-holstered. I thought it was kydex rubbing off, but it didn’t make sense. After an hour of dry fire, the front of the slide has a bunch of minor scuffs. I wish I caught it sooner. I would’ve added some sticky felt to protect the slide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 3 10rd mags that are factory dimpled in the 17rd tube that fit the x-carry grip (essentially the x-five grip with a shorter rail and no magwell). I bought a NY state X-Carry off gunbroker and I don’t need them.

Thanks for clarifying that with hard evidence.

portable fan on the gun cart

this uses Ryobi one+ batteries and is already set up as a mister https://www.homedepot.com/p/Arctic-Cove-18-Volt-2-Speed-Misting-Bucket-Top-Fan-MBF0181/205744083 -
Nice! I saw those awhile back on some FB page, but I don't remember seeing info on it. I like the design. Might have to try it out.
