Sorry for the idea of interchangeable of large pistol and rifle. As I stockpiled primers years ago, I never have had to worry about it.

I have read some people interchanging small pistol and small rifle, large pistol and large rifle due to primers shortage. I have also read where magnum primers ignite hotter to flash slower burning powder. It an idea if you can’t trade with someone. Proceed at your own risk.

Good luck! Been reloading since the 1980’s when stuff was cheap. Haven’t had a Kaboom yet. Just be careful and enjoy loading your own. I haven’t fire a factory round in years other than to calibrate my M1 vented gas screws to factory gas pressures for my reloads with unknown powders.

You can go to your local DMV and they will reissue a drivers license with a star printed in the upper right hand corner. You will have to jump through some hoops to get the star I.e. a CERTIFIED copy of you birth certificate, place of residence, etc. if you go to the DMV they will supply you with a check list.

As tritium is radioactive, I would think one would need a license of some sort to ship internationally.

I’ll take one if you will ship to Knoxville on my dime. Bob

If you wish to hit something at 1,000 yards, get a 60mm mortar. Being issued a M16 after training on a M14, anything beyond 200 yards, you’ve are just wasting ammo. Bring up the ‘pig’ (M60).

I just checked (12:30 EDT, July 13). Midsouth has 65 powders on their website. I believe they have primers (pricey) but saving them for walk in customers only.

Has the cartouche on the left side of the stock below the bolt been sanded off? Should be a big bird with three stars overhead. Headspace and bore condition plus how many parts match the time period when this rifle was born. PM inbound

It’s yours, do as you wish.

I looked at the website and the ammo and no mention of NATO. Good of you to change description. All in all, good looking ammo and a bargain in today’s market.

If is is NATO spec ammo, why don’t I see the cross inside the circle on the head stamp.

I can get you a balance beam for free. It’s older than you are but gravity doesn’t lie. PM me your address and watch your mail box. It’s a classic Pacific and maybe be an antique. As stated above “Titegroup” is in stock at ‘Midsouth Shooters Supplies”. It may not show up on their website as it’s a much sought after powder. Give them a call.

I have one 50 round box of S&W .32 long. The box says it will work for revolver. If you get over this way I sell it to you at a fair price. I also have 10+ boxes of Federal.32 auto. Bob

I built mine while at UT from a discarded large instrument packing crate. Initially used it rebuild Harley engines. That hobby is long passed. Added some plywood to keep it from flexing. Have three machines mounted to it. Built it in the late sixties and am now retired and it’s still going strong.

Swede, Would ammo loaded for the commercial market have the NATA markings? It’s possible that a reloader loaded it, but they are not inclined to leave good brass on the ground.

Does this sight adjustment tool do both AK74S’s and SKS’s?

There is a guy in Midway that is highly respected. He builds a very nice AR-15 but may take on your work. His company name is “Mohawk Armory “. There is a guy down toward Danridge who impressed me with his work. I’d have to find his business card.

OP, check out ‘Midsouth shooter Supplies’, they have the powder you need in stock and ship. I’ve loaded thousands of rounds of .38 special and .357. I have used Accurate powder for years, but there others out there just as good.

I was in the military for over 20 years, UH1Huey crew chief and door gunner. I never saw a reloaded round of 7.62x51 or 5.56. Maybe the military may use reloads in training, but when your butt has a target circle on it you used the good stuff. And the good stuff couldn’t help the M-60. We went on a mission years ago with 22 M60s. At the end of the day only two were operational.

Tha ammo in no-corrosive and good stuff. I have shot a ton of it and still have a case or two. IIRC from research on this stuff…yes it does have hecho Venezuela on the box but I.think Venezuela had a contract with a company in Yugoslavia to produce the ammo. Still good stuff. Bob

Actually the cross in a circle means it meets NATO ammunition standards. All military ammo I’ve seen (a lot) is crimped

I too use a very old 550 with Dillon dies and have experienced small flash holes. It’s like the .45 acp issue with large and small primer pockets we see now. Just another step to save our precious primers.

I take the Safariland. Pm inbound Bob
