Old School

Nice guns! Welcome! Now let's get up to CR and shoot them.

Totally F\/(KED |_|P !!!!!!!!

Yeah Dan, I go through so much 9mm I need to reload it. $19/ lb is a good price for powder. Bullets are where the $ is...

Montana Gold bullets Dunklebergers or any place for CCI primers and W231 powder. I avoid hazmat fees on the prim and pow. If your online go to chat... I wait for ya.

You have to shop wisely. I can give you some numbers for what it cost me to reload 9mm and 45acp. 9mm-- 4000ct 115gr FMJ =$290 free shipping or $.0725/rd 1000 primers = $36 purchased local or .036/rd 1lb W231 =approx $25 puchased local yeilds 1500 rds or $.017/rd So one rd cost $.125 X 50rd box = $6.275 and I get about 1% reject rate which I cull out and recycle. Lead 200gr SWC for 45acp cost $65/1000 same approx powder and primer cost. Now how much do you shoot? You save approx $5/box. If your reloading equipment cost $500 (about right) you break even when you shoot 100 boxes or 5000rds of ammo. I probably will go through 15000 rds of 9mm this year so it makes sense to me. And you also need cases and need a source for those(beg, buy, scrounge). Then factor in your time. I produce very good quality reloads at about 300-400 rds/hr. Now your involvement and interest in producing ammo is another issue.

The XM-25 is by HK, so it probably was primarily designed in Germany. Bull!!! Much of our stuff is developed here and built elsewhere. Mark, let me take you to lunch at Picatinny one day. You'll love it!!!

Is Manchester 231 the British equivalent of Winchester 231? Call Dunklebergers in Stroudsburg they usually have it. Also IIRC HP38 is the same powder.

I wonder if this was developed at our own NewJersey Picatinny Arsenal?

WOW!!! Chris that is SUPER unique! Two questions... Would it have been cheaper/easier to start with a G35? and what magazines are you using? Frank

Checked out you vids of the .22. Very nice!!

mipafox- love an kisses to all. Please explain "SOT" this is the only reference I can find: "Sot" A drunkard; a person who is frequently intoxicated

Thowing them in with the tee shirts?

Ken you devisive bastard!! OK where do the Jews for Jesus fit in? What day of the week are you going to violate the sabath? Saturday or Sunday? Who do you want me to shoot for, The Morta Cristo or the Goyim?

Well, 15 rounds is the standard mag for the Glock 19. I have a 33 round mag. And, to quote you, I'm sure YOU don't have one of those! And one of my close friends has a G18. In summary, bite me So you don't have a G18 but your friend does LOL I doubt it! Back to the mall my little ninja!!!!!!!!

Truman was president!!! Crumudgeon? And oh BTW...I remember when America was America!!!

I'm going to have to pass...

Yeti- Where?

The problem I have with the "series 80's" guns is if you put a long trigger in and adjust out the over travel, you can adjust out the firing pin safety, so it is intermitently in operable. Ask me how I know... The Kimber method of the firing pin safety operating off of the grip safety will allow you to have a better trigger but make sure you don't engage the grip safety while disassembling or you will have problems. Classic two safety 1911's are the way to go in my opinion. Browning was a gun designer not the product liability lawyers.

Martin-Having looked at the match results....You sure that you weren't shooting a G18? You did pretty well. Next time shoot "Production"

I got the email as well. It has a series 80 firing pin block... :?:

Kpd-- Last time I was at Dunklebergers he had 5 or 6 Mod 37's. None of them were PD trades. IIRC they were in the 250-275 range. And again IIRC a couple were pre-800,000. I'm glad to see someone else knows the "magic" of the Mod 37.

15rd is the standard high capacity mag for a G19. 15 rounds is the standard mag for the G19. 33 rounds is the standard high capacity mag for the G19. G19 is class III. I shot one (rental) at Classic Pistol in SH PA. Very unstable, need training to shoot that beast properly. How would you even carry it? Brother Martin typo on you... G18 is select-fire, G19 is what you were shooting Saturday...You show off!!

15rd is the standard high capacity mag for a G19. 15 rounds is the standard mag for the G19. 33 rounds is the standard high capacity mag for the G19. Youngster! Though it will fit...The 33rd mag is for a G18. And I'm sure you don't have one of those! :clap:

I'm glad your family is safe. Do what you've got to do!

You are absolutely right about the the reliability if the 1911. But, as we have evolved them over the years making them and more accurate that reliability has been reduced. I have a stock SS Goverment that I would use for self defense, this gun rattles. Now I have an STI target gun tight and a real shooter that I wouldn't use for SD. Also some of the clones ,Kimber being one, had deviated from the original Browning design. Just some thoughts!
