  Be real careful. My clamshell tries  to work. Billet receivers are just thicker than forged. Since the inside dimensions are the same, they just gotta be bigger on the outside. It won't take much misplaced force to ruin the receiver. I have always hated the way my clamshell puts a shiny spot or two in the finish anyway. So, I'll probably use the DMPS block for everything going forward.

  There's a roll crimp feature in the seating die. I don't use that, on any caliber. I use Lee Factory Crimp Dies. The crimp feature in the seating die puts downward pressure on the case. The factory crimp die doesn't. It's a squeeze type collet crimp. 

  I'm betting the 3rd is a crimp die. I crimp mine

  No wife here. I grew out of that :)

  I take girls to the range sometimes. Some of them like pink

  ...and they come in pink too! :)

  I have a pair of these too, but the Calwells work better for me. I think its a lot more about fit than quality, though. If I dink around with the Leights, I can make them work.

  I have two sets of those. They don't get in the way of anything. I normally use them without plugs

Ok... Inspired by Lagerhead. I decided to buy an upper receiver lapping tool, and neither one of my blocks would work. So, I made this out of a 1/2" plywood scrap. I don't think it would stand up to a barrel installation. It will work great for the lapper.

  OK. I got that T shirt. It's especially fun when the stock swivels around enough for the buffer retainer to launch itself into the receiver. 

  I finally got what you were talking about. Those things are a pain in the butt. I haven't launched one, but tried a few times. I always get them in the notch with needle nose before I try to put any squeeze on. A magnifier helps me

  It's peace of mind until you shoot one loose. Then it goes on your list of must do items. 

  Somebody brought up an old thread. Lautenberg is blacker than Mandella by now.

  Good

  Yep. You are liable to catch the AR disease

  This. I always do it after the pin is installed

Box cutter trick. 5 minutes into the video...   [media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA_Vkb2UB1w [/media]

  Learn the box cutter trick. There's no reason to lose a detent. The Spike's kit that I just installed came with a spare.

  Granola fed, gluten free, irrigated colons... I bet they taste like veal  :rofl:  I joke. As much as I despise liberals, I probably couldn't chow down one one. Of course, I could eat a pig that did.

  Not all of our neighbors. I figure a bunch of liberals will die from panic attacks. We just gotta come up with some good recipes. :) Hell, if you can make a deer taste good...

  I'm not gonna say what I'm thinking, this being on the interwebz and all. I will say, when monkeys fly outa my ass. There is a line, and it stays real fuzzy. If it ever gets clear, I'm gonna be on the right side of it. I heard once that it only takes 3%. 

  I was with you until you got to the warlord regime. Too many armed folks in this country. It may happen way down the road, but it will be long after we're on the other side of the ground.

  Looks like that one clamps around the outside of the receiver. Probably won't work   What Garufa said :)

Granola crunchin' girlie man. Thank god him, Gov Cummo, and Mayor Tiny Tot are keeping the people of New York safe.
