  1. This is Gizmo. He's a European Cream Golden Retriever. In this picture he was about 10 weeks old, about 16 pounds here. He's now 13 weeks old and his last vet visit he was 27 pounds. Just a gorgeous Golden. This is my second Golden Retriever from Woodridgegoldens.com in New Egypt. This is a special litter of Creams, they have two female's that are from Europe. Actually Gizmo's mother is from Sweeden. They also breed standard US Golden Retriever's as well, my last one (Sammy) from them was a stunning dog, pictured below Gizmo's picture. I highly recommend these folks for quality Golden Retrievers.
  2. That's my everyday price including tax, out the door. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/85510-wts-bulk-ammo-back-in-stock/

  5. Hi, PM me your phone number and name and I will call you in the morning. That's correct, I am a home based FFL and open in the evenings and weekends for sales and transfer's.
  6. Yes, definitely see that on point 1, and most definitely on point 2, thanks.
  7. I'm pretty sure this is not accurate and that it only applies to companies engaged in the import and export of defense articles and defense services. It's all defined in 22 CFR 120 if you are self abusive and want to read it. It appears from the CFR that this does not apply to domestic manufacturing where the broader ATF FFL license takes over. One man's opinion.
  8. I have a used (approx 200 rounds) 92FS Brigadier INOX with adjustable rear sights, front fiber optic, custom trigger upgrade, Wolf spring kit installed (original parts included) Hogue Aluminum grips (original grips included), assorted springs and upgrade parts not installed, and 7 magazines available for $900 OTD. Gun is like new, clean, one owner. I originally sold the firearm in 2015.
  9. $15 NICS + $15 Transfer. $30 OTD. Every DY Price on receivers.
  10. Love it. Decided to trick it out and keep it for myself. How nice is it? My Ruger is going up for sale. When the custom grips come out it will be perfect. Runs every ammo I could find hanging around without a hitch. Super easy to clean.
  11. Whoops just realized this is an old post. But it does appear there is another match next weekend, June 12. When does registration open for that match Steve?
  12. What do you mean "registration is now closed"? When did it open?
  13. Yes in .40, love it. Shoots amazing
  14. Sorry, try that again.

    STI Heaven

    The trilogy of STI Firearms I'm in heaven.
  16. It's probably the same for any press, the real learning curve is reloading itself not press operation. I have always had 650's so moving to 1050's was not a big leap or learning curve. The presses are completely different but I understand the basics of the presses and what does what. I also have tool heads for all of my calibers. Changing tool heads on the 1050's (caliber changes) are a bit more involved but they don't happen very often. The Mark VII on the other hand was a piece of cake to hook up and get running. I was making rounds with the autodrive in less than an hour. I remember spending days trying to get the right adjustments and timing with the Ponsness system on my 650. Kept on breaking stuff with that drive until I got it setup just right.
  17. Cranked it up to maximum speed for making rounds last night, 1800 rounds/hour. Made almost 2500 rounds with only 5 interruptions besides primer refills. All 5 were badly damaged cases. Little over 90 minutes total.
  18. I'm really into the digital part of this Auto Drive. It's very robotic and technical. No brute force in this thing. They have a whole host of sensors coming out for bullet drop, primer insert and powder drop. I have the low primer sensor and the decap sensor. I had the Ponsness on one of my 650's. Once I got it setup it ran pretty good but I cannot tell you how many indexing rings I snapped off because of simple jams. No matter how hard I tried to adjust the mechanical clutch I was constantly breaking stull.
  19. No trouble at all so far. The sensors are definitely sensitive enough and all of that is configurable through the software on the tablet. Lots of settings you can configure through software that really enhances the way the press runs. One I really like is the bottom dwell adjustment which allows you to set a dwell time. Sometimes with larger loads or difficult powder it's good to leave the press down to completely empty the feeder. Also great for trimming rifle brass with my Dillon trimmer. You can set it to sit on the case for a fixed period of time to ensure proper trimming. Only just started fooling around with the sensors and settings.
  20. Yeah, it was expensive, a little over 3k for the complete drive unit and some extra sensors. One of those have to have things, it's never about need. I think I am going to start leasing out time on my 1050's. LOL, Like those self service auto garages. Bring your brass, powder, bullets and primers and load away.
  21. Just got one of the new Mark 7 Auto drives and mounted one of my Dillon 1050's on it. The first video was run at 1200 Rounds/hour, the second video is 1500 rounds/hour. It will go up to 1800 rounds/hr and with the upgrade due in next month it will go to 2400/hour for processing. Very nice unit, read up on it. All digital runs as advertised. Worth the money when your loading between 35-45k rounds/year and preprocessing all the brass.
  22. Thanks, it's a work in progress. I posted a few more recent pictures in the gallery. It's nice and comfortable to work in. Waiting impatiently for my Mark 7 auto drive for the 1050 I just installed.
  23. In response to another thread about building a case tumbler I was asked what tumbler I was using as seen in the video below. I didn't want to hijack another thread so I started this one to give my objective review of the Lonestar Tumbler. That's a "Lonestar Tumbler". You can find it at casetumbling.com. For anyone interested here is my unbiased review. I bought this gadget, paid full price so I have no particular reason to favor this company or it's products. The tumbler, as advertised, is capable of cleaning thousands of cases in very short periods of time. I have tumbled over 2,000 rounds of 40's and more 9's in 1 to 1.5 hours with results better than any other tumbler I have ever used. It is built like a tank, very high quality device. It is obviously professionally manufactured, far from a prototype. And it has performed exactly as their website and video's state. That being said I have some other comments any potential buyer should know. First, if you are not tumbling thousands of cases of all different calibers this probably isn't the device for you. There are smaller tumber's, like the one made by cedhk.com that are probably better suited to the casual user. The best way to get your money's worth out of this tumbler is to load 20 pounds of media, and up to 20 pounds of cases into the tumbler for processing. For smaller processing it's a bit more difficult to manage. That's not really a criticism in my opinion because rather than handling a smaller tumbler "many" times to clean the same amount of brass, you can do one or two large loads. Yes, it is heavy to manipulate. I have found the large mouth container nice to work with because it is large and has a large opening, but it's heavy to work with when you have a full load of water, brass and media. I had to develop my technique to work with it easily. Now after I am finished tumbling I pour the entire contents into a 5 gallon bucket and work with the bucket rather than the container. I did modify my unit slightly to make it easier to work with. First, the bucket attaches to the rotating arm using bolts that go through the container. Therefore the inside bolt head seals against the bottom of the container with a rubber washer. I found that the washer's fail very quickly and it's not clear from the documentation how tight to make the bolts to maintain the washer integrity. I'm guessing this is a typical problem because they give you spare washers. I simply purchased a few washers from my local supplier (McMaster Carr) which are rubber washers permanently bound to stainless steel washers. Now I crank down on those bolts and have not had a single failure since. The second modification was I purchased three stainless steel thumb screw nuts to replace the three nuts you must take on and off each time you load the tumbler. (Watch their videos for an example). Instead of using their stamped metal wrench I now just tighten up the thumbscrews, much easier. So remember, if you are going to fill this thing to capacity you are going to wrestle with it, but you will be cleaning brass very infrequently making it much nicer to use for large cleaning jobs. The shorter tumbling time and high capacity is no false claim. I literally cleaned over 15,000 9mm cases in a single day while doing other things in my shop. Tumbling that much brass in a large container like that one is a bit noisy. And I believe I saw on one of their videos they add a small amount of wax to the solution. DO NOT do this. Just use the soap and that Lemon shit. The wax trick that I saw on YouTube makes a horrible mess out of your brass and rather than shining them, it puts a dull wax layer on them.
  24. It is a Lonestar Tumbler (casetumbler.com). I don't want to hijack anyone's thread so I started a thread entitled "Lonestar Tumbler Review".
