    Any use for .303 from a Vickers?

    Just finished teaching a course, and had a .303 Vickers tripod-mounted, water-cooled, cloth belted machinegun demonstrated for us. Any use for the brass? Besides selling for scrap?

    Rifle Scopes Kowa TSN-821M

    I have the Kowa TSN-821m spotting scope, with the 27X LER eyepiece. I've been looking for the 20-60x eyepiece, but really don't want to pay $400 for it! I ordered one from Buffalo Arms, but they have not responded to say they had one in stock. So, here's the question-- should I actually get...

    Anniston purchase

    Re: Anniston purchase I wouldn't have been disappointed with any of the rusty ones-- it was mere surface rust. By being there, I could pick one without the knife cuts.

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I am using a Thumler's Tumbler, just like most of the people on this thread. I am also tumbling with the primers in-- this is for .223 and handgun shooting stuff, not precision rifle. The primers will be removed on the progressive press. When I get to...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials All I did was put the brass into the tumbler (about 60%-- it was my last load), add water to about 80%, squirt Dawn dishwashing liquid into the tumbler, and add a good shake of Lemishine. Then tumbled for about 8 hours while I was at work. That's it...

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials OK, got my camera working. First, the pictures of the 24 hr tumble: The cases with half brass and half silver were the ones inside of another case of a larger caliber. and another: And to compare the 8 hr tumble vs the 24 hr tumble: But here's...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I'll try to get pictures (aka pichers) tonight. My Nikon D70 is on the fritz-- probably need a new camera. Other lessons-- .223 are a pain. The openings are just small enough to grab the SS media, but you have to shake every one of them to make sure...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Another lesson-- I put the brass in the tumbler last night, and didn't have time to turn it off this morning. When I got home from work, I left immediately with the wife for her birthday dinner. By the time I returned, it had been tumbling for about 22...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Things I learned after my first batch: 1. I need a media separator. 2. I need a utility sink-- my wife doesn't like me using the kitchen sink for brass rinsing. 3. Separate the calibers first before tumbling. When one case fits inside another (such...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Got my first load in for the overnight tumble. This is an eclectic mix-- range pickup, once-fired, nasty old ones, etc. We'll see how it goes. I've also put a 5 gallon bucket half-full of water, Dawn and Lemishine. Then I filled it with brass, to...

    An unusual request for assistance

    Re: An unusual request for assistance For the auto trimmer, I thought about the Giraud. It looks like it would be fairly safe-- you just push the case into the trimmer. No exposed blades= no trimmed fingers. I agree the sorters are fast-- I think I may get a set for use as a "quality...

    An unusual request for assistance

    I have a daughter with cerebral palsy, and she loves to help out with my shop chores. I'm just getting into reloading, and have begun to purchase equipment. I am able to get a bucket of mixed brass once in a while of a few different calibers. My daughter loves to sit and separate the rifle...

    Anniston purchase

    So, I had to go to the CMP in Anniston, AL, to pick up some M1 Garand ammo for work. While I was there, I started looking, drooling, etc., when Orest Michaels came up and struck up a conversation (GREAT guy, btw). I was looking at the Kimbers, and he pointed me to the "rusty" section, with...

    Buying ready-made displays as well

    Re: Buying ready-made displays as well There's a lot of nice displays on that link. I have to check to see if I can order from overseas (you wouldn't believe the restrictions on overseas purchases). If I can, that would be great!

    Trying to make ammo displays

    Re: Trying to make ammo displays Actually, I just checked one of my favorite sites-- www.bioquip.com (hence my screen name), and they have a new display system: http://www.bioquip.com/search/DispProduct.asp?pid=1041AP Thoughts? It looks about the right size, and the plastazote foam is...
