    RCBS bullet feeder

    in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    Also...FYI, Since you're located in Europe, you might want to check to see if Saul Kirsch at Double Alpha still has any units available.

    Rick

    Thanks Rick,

    Saul is a great guy, very commited to our sport.

    I already ordered from him or bought from his tent at major matches around Europe. Always perfect service.

    But in Europe, the price of the KISS is very expensive at Euros 600 (equals to US$ 775 at today's rate).

    I understand the price, as there is transport cost + 20% VAT + margin, ... but I might just wait to see how the rcbs unit performs... or wait to see if you can lower your prices ;)

    Congrats again for yout great product !

    Hi George,

    You might want to contact Luca Zolla (member here and on the Global Village).

    Luca leaves near Milan, and is a member of the board of the Italian ipsc federation (www.fitds.it), great guy and good shooter ;)

    Their 2009 calendar is not out yet, but for sure there will be some matches in the Milan/Brescia area, that I might attend also.

    Luca might also point you to some club matches...

    Hope this helps.

    Looks like I might have to ramp up my competitive juices.

    Crazy World...Ain't It?

    Wouldn't it be great if a company like Dillon would manufacture and sell your bullet feeder ? :wub:

    Don't get me wrong, it's NOT a criticism towards you in any way.

    I just happen to think your product is great, and have been waiting for over 6 month to be able to buy one once you resume shipping... (now I might just wait to compare with rcbs's if it's out before you start shipping again).

    It would just fit nicely and naturally in the Dillon product range, with 100% availability and maybe a lower price (big company, more exposure, bigger distributor network, scale savings, ...).

    Btw, I'm also an inventor of some kind, and hesitate all the time between manufacturing my products, or selling a licence...

    .40 barrel in .45 slide ?

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I know that a .45 breechface is cut bigger than a .40.

    But I also know of some guns that run 100% with a 9mm barrel fitted in a .40 slide.

    Has anyone tried to fit a .40 barrel in a regular .45 slide? If yes, are there any tricks to make it run?

    Thanks a lot and merry Christmas !!

    What hammer/sear for first time do-it your selfer?

    Brownells has an EGW ignition package I haven't seen anywhere else. It includes their awesome hard sear, a matching hammer, a long disconnector, and a sear spring. Only $85 retail, only a fiver more than the Koenig hammer alone, which EGW makes anyway. I figure the sear and generic hammer must be matched as well as the sear and Koenig hammer, so I took a chance on it. I'll report back when it's up and running.

    Erik,

    Have you installed the combo yet ?

    Barsto barrel outside dimension

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted

    I'm thinking of buying a Barsto barrel through Brownells. This would be a Match Bull barrel, .45 ACP, w/n ramp to be fitted on a new Essex Arms enhanced slide. (Brownells # 033-000-245).

    My question is :

    Does anybody know the outside diameter of the Barsto barrels at the muzzle, where it contacts the front of the slide ?

    I'm asking because I have another new bull barrel, from STI, for another project, that is loose with this particular slide at the muzzle.

    Thanks for your help.
