Bump, the FEG is still available.

Bump.

Although some folks were being a little facetious in advising that you overbuild the table, its really not that far from the truth. Reloading presses generate substantial forces needed to reload everything up to big rifle calibers and leverage is the name of the game ot be able to resize big brass. The truth is that you can't go wrong building a sturdy bench because without it, your press and table is going to end up wobbling all over the place. A good solid bench anchored in some way will keep it from moving around and a thick tabletop will keep it and the press from flexing. Mounting the press on or near the corner right over the leg is always helpful since it adds extra support. if you table is a little flimsy, you can anchor the backside to the wall (studs) with some L brackets to gain some more general stability. People also commonly add extra tabletop layers over what the existing surface has to help shore it up a little more. This keeps the press from rocking back and forth.

Which sights did you get for your GSG? Did you get a set or just the rear? I'm about fed up with the blocky plastic sights on mine. Its the last thing i think i truly need to change and the gun will be perfect.

Harry, the mag disconnect is SUPER easy to defeat. 1 pin drops the MSG and from there the 2 parts that comprise the safety (spring and latch) are "attached" to the side of the housing itself. When i say "attached", that's somewhat of a stretch as they practically fall out by themselves once you remove the housing from the gun! lol. Removal of the safety is like getting some rocks out of your boot; remove shoe, shake out offending items, reinstall shoe. Voila!

Since i missed the OB match a week ago, i'm going to try to make this one. Do they do any online prereg we should be aware of?

The difference in case length between the two is precisely 1/8" and as others have stated, there are spacers you can get that you can put underneath the lock ring to move it up (RCBS provides this free with thier die set). The catch is that the use of spacers such as these for the belling and seating/crimping dies relies on you using the same *exact* bullet for both calibers so unless you're doign that, its of little use. You could use it for the flaring die but its so easy to adjust, who cares about it. Its the seating/crimp thats the big PITA to readjust and you might as well get another one of those if your loads use a different bullet.

Oak, if you meant to say the P01 vs the SP01, then yes, the SP01 is full size and the P01 is a "compact". Kind of like a glock 17 vs a glock 19 if you're familiar with the size of those.

This is a change! Not sure when this took place since i never really go to ebay for gun stuff, but i have bought some shooting related fringe items there in the past. I recently was searching for some milsurp related items and noticed magazines, barrels and other parts come up right before my eyes. According to thier policy, this is what goes: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/firearms-weapons-knives.html Actual firearms can't be listed on eBay. However, many parts and accessories for firearms are OK to sell, but only under certain conditions. See the list below for more details. Allowed Caliber conversion information or blueprints Magazine holders, speed loaders, stripper clips, or moon clips Manuals or instruction materials about firearms Non-pneumatic spear guns Restricted Accessories and parts for guns such as butt plates, cases, cleaning supplies, dies, grips, holsters, molds, racks, pistol grips, scopes, slings, stocks, storage cases, or trigger guards. The listing must include a description of the type of firearm the accessory or part is for and what it's used for. If it doesn't, the listing may be removed. Muzzle loader or black powder gun parts or accessories, as long as each item is offered in one listing at a time. (However, having separate listings for items that can be used to build a gun is prohibited.) The following gun parts and accessories are allowed on the eBay US site only. The seller must be in the US and offer domestic shipping only: En bloc clips Barrels Bolts Choke tubes Cylinders Firing pins Hammers Magazines with a capacity to accept 10 rounds or less (high-capacity magazines that can accept more than 10 rounds are not allowed) Slides Trigger assemblies Not allowed Firearms regardless of their ability to fire, how old they are, or their status as collectibles Firearm frames, including grip frames Firearm kits that are used to create a firearm Firearm receivers, including parts, upper or lower, cut, or 80 percent receivers Flash suppressors High-capacity magazines with a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds—or magazine extenders Pneumatic spear guns Powerheads, stick guns, or their equivalents because they work like firearms Sears Silencers Starter pistols or blank guns, regardless of their markings Zip guns In contrast though, PayPal doesn't seem to line up with eBay in terms of acceptable items you can use the service for. The irony is that ebay owns paypal and if im not mistaken, you cannot sell an item anymore without a paypal account so if you want to sell, you need to include paypal as an option and therein lies the contradiction. You can't even do a discrete payment since checkout will link the auction to the payment. I have to wonder if they just haven't gotten to changing thier policy yet or if they're sticking to thier proverbial guns on the matter and any attempt to use the service will get you in trouble. ----------------------------------------------- https://www.paypal.com/webapps/helpcenter/article/?currentIssueID=38957&m=SRE What is PayPal’s policy on transactions that involve firearms? We don’t allow PayPal members to buy or sell any kind of firearm, whether it’s in working order or not. The same goes for certain firearm parts and ammunition. For example, using PayPal, you can’t buy or sell: Any firearm, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, whether they’re for sport and recreation, collectibles, or curio or relic firearms. Firearm parts, including but not limited to receivers and frames, silencers, and kits designed to modify guns so that they fire automatically. High capacity magazines, multi-burst trigger activators, and camouflaging firearm containers are other items in this category. Ammunition, including propellants like gunpowder or blank ammunition; ammunition or cartridge cases; and primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for any firearm.

You forgot a "Special Edition Collectable" type category. I picked up this OOP 2-tone DE in .44 last summer. Its a classy color combo without being too blingy like the all chrome or gold model. Its the first gun i've ever had malfunction if you don't grip it like it owes you money! lol

Do you have a search notification anytime "SP01" is written on the forum?

I've used both the OEM mecgars and a couple of 15 rd ProMags, both with no issues. I've even used the promags at uspsa matches and have not had a problem. good for range mags at the very least if you cant get the factory mags on sale.

I see that W231 has a number of load listing for 357 on Hodgdon's website... but... is it really a suitable magnum powder? Im sure it will make for some nice light loads, but i'm doubtful it will give you the maximum potential that something like 2400 or H110 will. I loaded up a bunch of 44 mag's with unique once and went all the way up to the max load. The recoil was pretty mediocre compared to a hot load with 2400 (my favorite magnum powder--very versatile). The fast burning pistol powders just can't produce the same level of power that the slower magnum powders can.

Yes I am and yes they do.

There are a lot different varieties of good, quiet, subsonic 22lr out there like this where its under the subsonic barrier, but not so anemic as to be ineffective at range (like CB's). Sadly stuff like this will not cycle semi-auto actions.

LMAO! Wasn't expecting that one!

Do any of those still exist down the various shore boardwalks?

Sighewa? more like ARHewa!

Textbook ENVY! I mean, how else can you explain the contemptuous lashing out? lol

Lol, Ray's jelly!

If so, that's a helluva of of "unsupported" area! The point to which the bulge tapers back seem like it could be the lateral terminus of the feed ramp of whatever barrel this was fired from. If so, im thinking it was sitting out of battery the distance form that point to where the shoulder of the body starts.

The headstamp is "R P" but the primer had already been knocked out with my decapper so there's no more evidence to see. Sorry.

I just bought one of those spee-d-loaders for my Henry. Now i think i need some kind of speed loader to load the speed loader!
