small pistol primers for magnum large rifle primers
martinjd replied to martinjd's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Well I woke up around 2:00 yesterday morning and thought I would check ammoseek for primers, no luck. I searched Google and Bass Pro was the first link. I was able to get 5,000 Winchester Magnum Primers from them for $189.00. Appreciate all the replies. -

martinjd replied to martinjd's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Just enough to get by until they are available again so 500 up to a few thousand. I just bought a 300 PRC and looking to do some reloading. This is my first time using magnum in a rifle primer. Thanks -
.04 each including shipping for 5,000

That is a nice looking setup.

I have put a few hundred rounds through it and it is holding zero so far; at least as far as I can tell. I did use loctite on the rmr to base screws. I know the military use a lot of Trijicon and if it takes the abuse they put it through I feel pretty confident. A high priority for me were the backup iron sights.
-
So I have just completed my new EDC. It is a Glock 19 MOS that replaced my G19 G4. I added the Trijicon RM07 6.5 MOA RMR along with the recommended kit, AC32064 RMR Mounting Kit, a SureFire XC1, and a set of Dawson Precision iron sights for backup. I went with the Trijicon over the Burris that I have on my 41 because the Trijicon can be left on at medium brightness for up to 4 years and it was much easier to find sights to work with the Trijicon than the Burris which sets a little taller. I am amazed at how much better I am able to shoot with a red dot on a pistol. As I get older it is harder to focus on the front and rear sites and the target. The only thing I couldn't find was a holster and most companies are not making one at this time that will accommodate the SureFire XC1. I ordered one from Dara Holsters but they are 8 weeks out. This next paragraph may sound like an advertisement but it isn't and I get nothing but the satisfaction of recommending quality work out of the deal. I needed some kind of holster now, while waiting on the Dara to come in, so I did a lot of searching and found out about Bruce here in Middle Tennessee. Bruce is a Firearms Instructor, Gunsmith, and has been making quality kydex holsters for the last 4 years. The holster you see in the images below was made by Bruce for my gun. I am not sure what his normal turn around time is but he had mine made in about a day and the quality and fit are fantastic. I am in no way affliated with Bruce but you can reach him at roninsar@gmail.com if you are interested in a custom holster from a local source. Be sure to put kydex holster in the subject line. Pictures below.

Thanks. I think KahrMan might be able to get by with a shorter sight since the Trijicon sits a little lower.
-
Thanks. Yeah. I bought that kit thinking I would buy the RM07 but decided to start with a less expensive optic. I may still end up purchasing the RM07 when I get the G19 in MOS.

In case anyone is interested in going down the same path I thought I would show pics of my G40 with a Burris FastFire 3 mounted using plate # 5 of set 2 provided by Glock. I used the screws provided by Glock to mount their adapter plate, along with some threadlocker 222. I had read in some other posts that neither the screws provided with the Burris or by Glock would be suitable for mounting the optic. The other post recommended screws from a company named Traxx and gave the following link to Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006O5IBQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 I ordered them and applied some more 271 and it was a perfect fit. Finding sights to act as a backup was a harder job. I had read a post that stated that the Dawson sights would work. I tried them but they were too short. Someone suggested calling Glock which sounded reasonable. They were no help and I would have expected that having provided a means to mount an optic they would have gave more thought to this aspect. They suggested calling Dawson or Ameriglo. Since I had already tried Dawson that left Ameriglo. As a side note I also ordered sights from Saurez but they canceled my order and said they were out of stock. I called Ameriglo and ordered GST-407 for the front, which is .407 inches tall, and GLT-507 for the rear. http://ameriglo.com/collections/glock/products/glock-steel-thin-serrated-fronts?variant=7556138689 http://ameriglo.com/collections/glock/products/glock-tall-steel-rears?variant=7554840257 I ordered the holster from Simply Rugged Holsters and specified that it would have a red dot and tall sights. It fits like a glove.
-
So I contacted Glock and they were no help other than to recommend Dawson or Ameriglo. I had ordered a set from Dawson but the weather kept them from being delivered today. That is a valid point about not wanting the sight to come up into the middle of the viewable area.

I bought the Burris FastFire 3 in 8 moa. Finding sights to co-witness is turning in to a tricky proposition. Looks like the front sight will need to be about .540 high.
