Unique is a great place to start. You know you can simply shoot 38 Special in your 357 mag., right?   2 pounds will load a LOT of rounds.

That's one gift I'm thankful Santa didn't deliver to my house.

This ought to be a sticky somewhere! :up:  :up: :usa:  

Since you have a drill press handy, I'd drill it. Maybe a small pilot hole first, then work your way up. The threads should come out with the drill bit once you get to a large enough size. If not, chase them out with a tap.   The e-z outs I've tried were very hard and break easy.

Unless there is a pool of fluid under it, I wouldn't worry much about it. Seepage is common, and isn't really a problem. A genuine leak that necessitates you adding fluid regularly needs to be repaired.

Wild Rose Bushes! :devil:

Personally, I wouldn't accuse an M4 stock of being comfortable. I haven't held a Sig brace yet, but they couldn't be a lot worse.

I think he has my credit card #. :shake:

My ideal pistol powder trinity:   Bullseye-for light target loads. Unique-a good all around mid range powder W296-for full power magnum loads.   There are a host of other fine powders, and this list doesn't mean these three powders are the end all be all of reloading. That being said, there is very little these three won't do and do well.

There's no one powder that will be optimum for all three. Unique would suffice, but you'd be giving up something you shouldn't have to.   I like Bullseye for 38 special target loads.   Lately, what you can find is more of a problem than what you might want. Pistol powder seems to be in short supply for some reason.   If you're going to the trouble to get set up for reloading, you should take full advantage of the variety available and not limit yourself to one powder.

Gather the parts you desire and build your own to your specifications.   You'll end up with what you want and an education of how the rifle functions.

Hasn't this expired equine been flogged sufficiently already?

I'm curious why you chose to use the word "Christian" as a derogatory term.   I once worked with a man who was supposedly 100% military disabled, yet he worked full time in our office. How does a disabled person still manage to work full time? He never could manage to tell me what his disability was, or how he received it from a desk job with the National Guard. :shrug:   I guess a lot of things aren't as clear cut as they seem.

If they'd only make it illegal to shoot people, all this wouldn't be an issue to begin with. :ugh:

I helped my oldest son build his own AR. He did well Here's the first 3 shot, 100 yard group from it; even before getting it sighted in properly. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_06882_zps8517de04.jpg.html][/URL] I'd post pics of the carbine, but they all look the same.

Poison Ivy! It'll take over fast, and your neighbors won't be likely to cross it. :hat:

Too much money. It is as fine a revolver, however, as you'll ever lay your hands on.

The same magazines work great in my AK. Probably the adapter or operator.

I have one. I find the magazines difficult to lock into place. Maybe I'm not doing it right?

They appear to be chrome. Perhaps used for marches, parades, etc.?

Powerbelts and 777 pellets work well in my CVA Wolf. When I used a Thompson Renegade side hammer rifle, I loaded it with loose Pyrodex and Hornady Great Plains Lead hollow point bullets.   To get the best performance from yours, you really should try different things until you find what works for you and your rifle.   With a 50 caliber bullet, I've never had a problem finding a shot deer. However, I've yet to shoot one with a round ball.   I wouldn't focus so much on economics as performance. You wouldn't want to lose the buck of the lifetime because you tried to save a dollar or two.   Most people don't shoot muzzleloaders enough for money to become a real issue.

Where do I get a crate? Is that a website address on the side? Can someone translate?

I can see that being a problem. I guess I've been fortunate in that I've not had a problem with roll pins.

I've never lapped one.

That'll prove to be a good investment.
