Check out Lou's gun shop in Raritan -- I believe they are a cesar stocking dealer They should have a decent online representation

I started reloading for precision rifle back in the late 80's -- I got it engrained into my system to clean primer pockets. I know a lot of you guys don't for pistol but I just couldn't get away from it This actually saves me time by cleaning those primer pockets for me -- does it matter? It does to me.

Saw an idea and made it better, safer --- Thats what this world is built on

Here's how I set up to separate the pins from the brass and rinse -- an old colander in a bucket with a cracked bottom -- On top of the bucket, I use a lyman media separator -- Since it's a small load I can dump the whole thing into the separator -- If it was an 11 pound load I would do it in 2 or 3 dumpings I mix the load around with my hands and most of the pins will drop out into the bucket -- you still get a few pins that stay inside of brass but a simple shake in your hands and you can hear if there are pins inside to rinse I use a bucket filled with water... Brass in the water, dumped into the separator, rinsed, and back in the bucket -- I do this 5 or 6 times Once rinsed it get dumped on a towel -- then into the brass separator and over the dehumidifier for 24 hours to dry

I let this load spin for 3.5 hours -- Generally I'll run 4 or 5 hours but since this load was so small I didn't need the run time 1st thing I do when it's rinsing time is to put used dryer sheets into the drain to catch any pins that escape. What it looks like when you 1st open it up -- Thats all thick soap suds Slowly dump off some of the black water... a look into the drum -- just a few cases pulled from the drum...

A half of a cup of liquid dish detergent and a .44 mag shell full of lemi shine -- The drum is filled with cold to warm water and detergents dumped in -- Once everything is in, I top off the water level to here -- and seal it up -- This is a light load -- Just 5 pounds of brass -- I have done 11 pounds of brass with 13 pounds of media with this setup. Total weight of loaded drum Spin it --- Picture shows my tumbler, it's not the same as what I have for sale, was my 1st version

From the bag, they go in the drum -- 5 pounds of brass gets 7 pounds of media -- I find about 2 pounds more media than brass works good The additives... Lemi Shine crystal, lemi shine rinse additive, small bathroom cup for liquid dish soap, and a 44 mag shell to measure the crystal -- I've been using the lemi shine rinse aid lately too -- It seems to help prevent spots on the clean brass

To complement my for sale add since I can't post it there... http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/classifieds/item/1060-complete-wet-tumbler-setup/ I still get asked about the cleaning process using stainless steel media. I had some really nasty brass that needed a good shine. Here's how I did it -- how the brass started... 1st I need to knock out the primers -- I dump a manageable load into a cookie tin to work with The hornady LNL set up to knock out primers -- That's a lee de-capping die Just feed and crank the handle -- doesn't take very long They are dirty... From the bin they get dumped into a long, thin, plastic bag. It's only 5+ pounds of brass in this load -- they where all winchester brass already separated -- figured I would keep them that way

Mike, Show up sunday and maybe Jake will let you shoot the springfield -- It's nice, shiny stainless just the way you like it

Happen to notice if they had any CCI LPP? I'll take the drive if they do--

Rotella T full synthetic at walmart is usually around $20 a gallon -- best price I can ever find it 1995 suburban -- 219,000 miles 1992 GMC safari -- 160,000 miles both still driven daily

My question --- What's a good dehumidifier that circulates air? Are we thinking the heat stick type like a goldenrod -- would 2 goldenrods be better?

In no way do you need a fireplace insert --- You can very easily set a stove on the hearth, in front of the fireplace and then route the stove pipe up thru the chimney. The problem with an insert is you have most of the heat trapped in your fireplace -- with a stove on the hearth your heat can get out the sides of the stove and into your living space I have 2 in my home now -- an Alaska Kodiak in the basement, in front of the fireplace -- and a coalbrookdale severn on the main floor living room 3/4 of the way out of the fireplace Both are freestanding stoves and both are dual fuel -- coal and wood -- Not all wood stoves burn coal -- takes special grates and a way to shake out the ash -- also incoming air comes in below the grates to be forced thru the burning coals Some years I burn coal, some years I burn wood -- depends on what I have -- I'll never buy wood -- if my supply is low on seasoned wood I burn coal I've been running this way for 10 years -- ran the pipes myself -- the chimney guys aren't magicians -- you can do it yourself -- it's not brain surgery

I agree, turns out this guy is an ass -- Is it your fence? Have you gotten a look at his side of the fence? Is it all shot up? Maybe replacing the fence isn't a bad idea except he's not going to help you. He's going to hire the professionals to do it on his dime. Hopefully it will just stop. But, I have to agree, If there's ever a next arrow, leave it in the ground and let the police remove it.

PVC glue - I work with it everyday -- barely even notice the smell anymore -- I can't imagine that's a good thing As for tumbling, My main reason... Is the clean primer pockets. I started reloading for precision rifle and clean pockets where part of the procedure. That carried over to pistol brass -- I know it's not necessary for the most part but I just couldn't get used to loading a primer into that buggered up primer pocket. I used to brush every primer pocket -- that took a ton of time --- the wet, and stainless took that painstaking step away. No dust is a welcome bonus.

I would not hesitate one second on buying this unit if I where in the market --

How about Short LOP trigger --- And I'll jump on -- That is one pretty piece

If you follow the link above where OP posts the brick laws it also has a section on target ranges -- You may be able to discharge but you may also need a permit for a range --

I would stop by at 7:30 if thats the only time you can -- It's important enough to justify possibly waking him -- and as Kman said, if he's a decent person he'll appreciate you coming to see him before contacting the police If you can't get him in the morning leave him a note -- Just so he doesn't shoot any more into the yard while your gone Note can be simple -- " we need to talk, found your arrows in my yard -- call me" good luck

If he's been a decent guy in the past then I would certainly head over and talk with him. One ounce of smartass and I'd walk away and call the police. I'd leave the arrows home, just in case he's an ass. If the conversation goes well, tell him he can come over and get his arrows. If he's a dick tell him to get the arrows from the police. I have to add -- It's never fun to fight with a neighbor -- avoid it if you can -- but, you have to protect your family 1st!!!

It certainly doesn't look like bows are included in that -- definitely not in the definitions section

That changes things.... I'm not exactly sure how I'd handle it. Really depends on your relationship with that neighbor. Ever had issues before? Is this person approachable? Have you ever had contact before? As for the discharge laws -- I know my town treats bows as a firearm regarding discharge but they don't enforce it unless they have to. If your safe, and respectful they won't bother you. If a neighbor complains you'll be told to stop -- disregard that and all bets are off Stick an arrow in the neighbors garage -- and they could nail you bad if your an ass

Are these compound bow arrows or childs toy arrows? What are they made from? Aluminum, carbon fiber, or wood I can't imagine an adult, shooting a compound bow, knowingly let an arrow miss the target -- 3 times and then he losses the arrows to your backyard Really sounds like a youth who was unsupervised. Now this doesn't make it any less dangerous but it does make your course of action a little clearer. I would certainly try and contact the neighbor. If you get a terrible response you must go to the police and protect your family. There's not much choice.

I fell from a stand when I was about 24 -- I was using screw in tree steps going up an oak that was about 36" diameter I had a harness on around my body, but didn't tie it off to the tree yet as I was just setting up my tree stand and still climbing the tree I was only 12 or 15 feet up, standing on a tree step, screwing in another when I felt the step move that I was on Nothing I could do, tree was too big to hug -- the step let go -- I went down a couple of feet then decided to push away from the tree Had too many 4" steel steps hanging out of the tree and didn't want to get torn open by one I hit the ground on my feet but immediately collapsed to my ass from the rearward momentum I still remember it clear like it was yesterday, I layed on the ground, alone wiggling my toes -- everything still worked but my back was in pain People knew where I was but no one would even think I was missing for hours -- I was able to walk, but I couldn't carry anything so I left it all Turns out I crushed vertebrae L1 and L2 -- No spinal cord injury -- I got a 1/2" shorter that day

You can't put all of that on the broadhead -- You made a great shot -- did that arrow go thru the pump?
