      CMP M1

      Just received my M1 today. Ordered it in February. I must have been the last one to make it. It's an H&R made in '53 with what appears to be the original barrel (marked 4-53). Most of the internal parts are marked "SA". Stock would also appear to be original (very dark with lots of dings...

      Fire Formed Brass

      I recently started to load paper patched bullets. I have two rifles(Mauser 71 & 71/84) that were designed to fire that type of bullet so I thought I would give it a try. After doing a little research on the subject, I found there are several approaches to the same end. They all have their...

      Size Or Not Size?

      Kind of new to the reloading game (about a year and a half). It suddenly occurred to me that I may be wasting some of my time. Is it necessary to size and trim new brass?

      Powder Storage

      Fairly new to reloading and have a question about storing powder. Is there a problem with storing powder in an unheated space. My reloading station is in my garage. It is not heated, so I don't plan to do any reloading until spring (this doesn't present a problem because I don't do any...

      M1917 Bayonet Question

      I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this, but here goes. I've been looking for a bayonet for my Model of 1917 and ran across one, but it's a little unusual. It's originally dated 1913, but the 3 is crossed over and a 7 is stamped underneath it. It's made by Remington and is in very...

      Is Brass Still Safe To Use

      First time I've had this happen. I assume I must have used too much lube when resizing. Out of 20 cases I had this with 3 of them. My question is are they sill safe to use? Or are they candidates for the trash can? I tried to attach a picture but was unable to figure out how to do it (I come...

      Lead Bullet Without Cas Check

      I want to reload a cartridge for an 1888 Commission Rifle using a lead bullet. I have a bullet with a brinell hardness of 25. The problem is that in order to chamber the round I have to seat the bullet so the base is below the neck of the casing. Also the bullet doesn't have a rebate for a...

      Sig Saur Information Request

      My son called me and asked my opinion on a pistol he's thinking of buying. I am not familiar with the type other than I've heard of it and everything I've heard was good. I's a Sig 40 cal (I would guess a P226) what he said was a "police edition". It's owned by a retired policeman and is about...

      Schmidt-Rubin Bayonet Project

      I hope this is in the correct forum, if not maybe it can be redirected to the correct one. I recently purchased a bayonet for a Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11. It is in pretty good condition, but it does need some TLC and a good cleaning. My question is; does any one out there know how to remove the...

      Problem with 9mm Luger

      I recently purchased a P08 mfg in 1916. Took it to the range today to try it out and had a very slight problem. The pistol fired and cycled perfectly, but after the last round was ejected the toggle failed to stay open. My suspicion is the clip (it is one of the old ones with the wood bottom...

      Need load for '88 Commission Rifle

      I have an '88 Commission rifle I would like to fire, but have not been able to get my hands on any US ammo. I slugged the barrel and the groves measured .3125, the lands .318. It looks to be in good shape. I've had this since about October of last year, and I don't really want a wallhanger...
