my poor mans primer depth / over travel handle stop XL650
I shoot a lightened action revolver which works best with federal primers seated between .008 and .010. Now unfortunately the xl650 doesn't have any sort of depth adjustment for seating primers, and I have a problem either over seating them by pushing too hard, or to shallow by not pushing hard enough. which would result in light strikes Brainstormed a little bit today and came up with this, an adjustable over travel stop for the handle. made of some scrap pieces of steel I had in the garage. I knocked out 50 or so pieces of brass and measured each one... Way more consistent .008-.009 typically(PPU head stamp which I have a metric ton of ) , but federal likes to seat a touch shallow at around .0065-.007ish, so does winchester. Yes, it's ugly, Yes I know the welds suck, Yes I know revolvers are stupid. But - here it is... let's just call it still in it's " prototype stage " -alec The only issue now is it in the way of the ammo tray, - just notched it out and proped it up on 2 primer boxes and she's good to go. I'm going to try to come up with some sort of extension piece for the ramp so I can have the tray sit a little farther away. In action:

Shooting a person in self-defense - tell your story
Completely different. Showing a personal collection of firearms & Explaining " tactical " scenarios of what you might / plan on doing in a home defense situation is worlds apart from the actual story of having to take somebodies life in self defense... All the legal parameters aside, it's just not something you would go around telling people.

Talk to me about air filters for my AC/Furnace
If it aint broke.... Dont fix it. I would however make an attempt to clean out your condenser coils ( outside unit ) and at least inspect your evap coil, and clean if need be. Cleaning off 11 years of crud and debris could breathe new life into your system if its not cooling 100%

Talk to me about air filters for my AC/Furnace
personally I just use regular old 3m filters and change then when they need to. A super restrictive filter can strain your fan,lower cfm and possibly freeze your coil if the air flow is low enough

Jer, I would email Dave Marques about this, I thought I heard hearing at the last match that the shotgun match was off. I'd confirm with him just to be sure before you solidify plans [email protected]

New Revolver - Is This Common?
Yes, you can still break the screw loose with blue loctite. If you ever need to break loose something that has red loctite you'll need to apply heat first

New Revolver - Is This Common?
Loc-tite is your friend on revolvers. Use the blue stuff. Ruger ? Back when I had my gp100 I had pins working themselves out all the time, maybe just common with them. Anything that works it's way out apply a dab of lock tite

I'm stuck (no pun intended)
LoL, i wouldn't either.... hopefully my sarcasm was detected. When I am testing action work on revolvers, I need to set off some primers in empty cases to confirm ignition. I'll ussually shove a cotton patch in the barrel so it isnt as loud. It's fun watching the patch shoot out. pew pew!
