I’m not even sure if I like the full length rail/dust cover — kinda why I want to see one As for the guncrafter, its a new gun priced a few hundred below dealer cost — made by GI as a 45 acp so its not a 50 with the 45 conversion — makes it accept standard wilson mags With the added weight recoil should be nothing, while still being 45 and capable of a light for nightstand duty although i have never seen a GI in person, I’ve always wanted 1 — not particularly the model 2 but it is priced right — I figure I can sell it if I need to and not take a beating

Try giving jim flynn a call on rt 31 — I’ve bought clays from him before

Thanks, that was useful

I’ve been milling around a rather large purchase — a Guncrafter model 2 in .45 acp wondering if anyone has anything guncrafter, or if you’ve seen one in a shop locally I need to see one in person, hold it — I’ve been back and forth with this for days now, just can’t seem to get myself to pull the trigger Thanks, Jer

Ammo cans a great for a lot of things but I would never pay a premium price for them 50 cal gi cans are what you want — somewhere around $5 each is bargain pricing but hard to find

Isn't that 25% of the buildings fire code capacity -- I would think that a ranges normal capacity is far less than their rated fire capacity -- it's not a concert hall

Dunellen — I grew up in Dunellen, graduated high school class of 1987 — 42 of us in that class I live in middlesex now How long you guys been in Dunellen?

9mm 1911’s are for girls there, I said it If it’s not gonna be .45 acp then it has to be 38 super

You should not shoot the Dan Wesson 1911’s — all those guns you have coming will be safe queens as you lust after the 1911

I’d like to see what is under the cover — my son has been looking for something to fish out of — not sure if this is what he is looking for or not what zip code are you in?

Sounds like you are in good shape to make your own ammo powder funnels are not like a regular funnel — the funell doesn’t go into the case it sits on top — there is a small inverted cone on the bottom of the funnel which centers the funnel on the case — you can get by with a regular funnel thas small enough but it will be a PIA I still use the 1st powder funnel I ever bought — RCBS — bought it back in the very early 90’s

What did you end up ordering?

In a perfect world you could get exactly what you want — this isn’t a perfect world I’m not sure what is local to you but around here, Garden State Armory is the only place with reloading supplies — and they know it — luckily I’ve never been desperate enough to have to spend what they want for stuff You most likely will have to “settle” for something you can find that works — thats how I stumbled onto Promo — it was the only thing available back in the sandy hook reloading crisis — and I bought a few 8 pound jugs powder and primers are generally harder to find than bullets If you’re serious about this, and you find a powder that will work, buy it — you may not get another chance for awhile

What ibeji bullet are you thinking of using? what powder are you using? what primer? sometimes there is just too much info with the internet— when I started the internet didn't exist — you bought a few books — got some bullets that looked close, and started with a low powder charge and worked your way up — bullseye was my powder of choice back then — bought off the shelf at Rays

You will never find a book that mentions Ibejiheads — generally you would load coated bullets with lead bullet data — no need to pay for the premium stuff listed in your books I load all my handgun stuff with a powder called promo — you’ll never find a published load with it in modern books— older books, before lawyers and insurance companies had so much influence on everything, have different data and promo is loaded using Red Dot data. In the end you need to do what makes you comfortable

Sounds like the same thing to me — the end result is what we are after do you have a .357 round lead ball?

You can slug your own barrel — look it up drive a lead bullet through your barrel using a dowel then measure what size the slug is — the widest part Using this measurement go either the same size or the next size larger — do not go smaller with lead, hot gasses will not seal properly and could cause major leading all my 9mm have been .355 Just be sure to use a bullet larger than expected size — .357 in a 9mm would be best to see what it squeezes down to

You shouldn’t keep your guns in the cases long term — the open cell foam doesn’t play well with gun oils and moisture silicone gun socks are better

It’s outside of Newark — Might be Bellville — it is really easy though — 1 or 2 turns off the parkway Won’t hurt to ask — tell Alex that Jeremy mentioned picking up at the shop to save shipping I haven’t bought in over a year now, took a couple of seasons off from pistol shooting and just before that bought a rather large order which I’m just running out of Alex from Ibeji is good people — maybe a little hard to get a hold of but should be worth it

Ibeji heads — if you’re close enough go pick them up — save on the shipping — near newark I think my loaded cost on 9mm is somewhere around 8 or 9 cents per round — honestly I don’t calculate it ever — just doesn’t matter — what I make is way better than anything your going to buy at anywhere close to the cost — you must buy in bulk

Gotta post up when you are in need and share hazmat with others — I’ve never had an order from powder valley that wasn’t a full box — 48 pounds I believe— sometimes my own but often enough 1 or 2 others are involved

Sounds like you need to hear it straight from the state police — give them a call

Yes you can order any stock you like — its a piece of plastic

Nothing disresectful about it — if I had thought HE would have taken that comment badly I would never have posted it
