Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Bought a little something from Don, really good guy to deal with. Went smooth as glass. Thank you.

  2. Thanks for that. I'm old, and I'd like to live out the rest of my life without experiencing a multiprimer detonation. The potential may be there, but the chances have to be very low. I do appreciate the explanation, and it makes the 750 a little more desirable. As for value, I've seen a couple that had extras, stuff that I would not buy, but they are set up for a different caliber, and it will cost 300 bucks to set up for 9mm, which is 80% of what I shoot, at that point I might as well buy a new 750. I've looked on Facebook, and I've seen pictures of the same press for sale by 3 different people, in 3 different cities. Be careful out there.
  3. I've been Jonesing around for a new loader so I can run a case feeder and auto index. I was thinking a used 650, but, what I've seen are 650's that aren't much cheaper than a new 750. I guess the 750 is a little heavier, but I'm not loading any rifle, so I don't think that's an issue, and a different primer system. Is the 750 any better than the 650? Would you just pony up a couple hundred bucks more for a new 750 over a used 650?
  4. OK thanks, I'll check both those. I was just on the LOK site, I would really like to have those palm swells, they remind me of the old S&W coke bottle grips.
  5. I appreciate the offer, but I think there's a difference in the two frames. Somebody will come along that knows for sure.
  6. I have a 10mm steel with the wonder finish, not a competition frame. I'm looking for some grips, those plastic ones are no good for me, and I've tried one of those handall things and didn't like it. This is my truck gun, so maybe something rubbery? The only thing I can find for large frame is for the competition large frame.
  7. I've always been a fan of Astroglide, it handles heat and friction well. As to what to use on firearms, sound like anything works.
  8. I won't take you up on that yet, but I might later. Thanks though.
  9. That's a nice trigger. I keep reading and seeing BOLO, what is that?
  10. I looked on Stoeger's site, but I don't remember them saying anything about doing the work? Yeah, Xtreme 3 is a little more subdued.
  11. I hear you about the finish, I'm not crazy about it, maybe it will look better in person. But that can be changed up some. Was it PD that did the work for 300 ? I looked on their site and it was 385 now. And I would definitely do it myself for that.
  12. It's always about perspective. I understand the idea of getting the Stock2, then picking and choosing what you personally want to upgrade, but by the time it's all said and done, maybe you should have started out with something closer to what you wanted anyway. And there is joy in building it yourself, been there done that. We'll see what happens, but I do agree with those that say the Xtreme isn't worth the difference in price, which is close to 800.00, but if the difference is 200.00, that a different ballgame. Again, thanks for your input.
  13. I went the other way, had a few CZ's, still have an old Champion. I won't argue which is best. Thanks though
