ENABLER!!! but i like your thinking!

Got it, thanks for the info.. My thoughts were beveled base, round nose, no groove for reloading my semiauto handgun rounds.. Sounds like i was on the right track..

Ive been looking into these coated boolits too... seems this place has good prices too; price includes shipping. https://www.ibejiheads.com/index.php?cPath=1 But im just getting prepared to start reloading, and a little confused on what to get! There's beveled bottom, flat bottom, and the real stickler, grooved or not grooved? when and what do i look for!??

Well,,,, only cool if i had a use for them! Which i dont!

did some researching and figued out what it is! Not a seating mic. Here it is: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012974677?pid=767610 Seems i have a few misc redding parts.. some primer arm parts.. and this powder mount; https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012972230?pid=660765

Nice post... good to read something positive around here! Dave Archibald is a good guy to deal with. Bought from him in back in the fall and obviosuly has probably forgotten more gun knowledge than many of us know! Glad to hear theres another FFL start up giving it a go out there! @Golf battery move 30 minutes south down to North Hanover.. We need a local FFL... and you'll be close to the joint base and the beautiful veterans cemetary you visited back on memorial day..

got it! Thanks! And surely i would have planned on having a little fun with the cordite without your encouragement!

Just so i understand fully; pull the projectile, dump the cordite, pour proper amount and type of modern powder, reseat same projectile? Then toss the berdan primer style brass after firing newly charge round....

Well thanks for sad news! You debbie downer! I had to google up cordite and got a quick education on it. Pretty interesting actually! Ive had the Enfield for about 5-6 years and have yet to even shoot the poor thing.. I'll give a few of the rounds a try for shiits and giggles.. Im just a plinker for fun kind of shooter, so if these things wont even suffice for that, then i will do as you did, and pull the projectiles and reload them in other brass that i have already aquired.. Being berdan primer, the brass from these rounds is junk to then.. Thanks for the info! PM coming your way to discuss... i owe ya one !

i know?! Crazy isnt it?! I picked up one of those harbor freight two drawer work benches back in the fall as the start of my reloading and gun maintence table. Its buried in shiit now that ive been acquiring stuff.. I was gonna try and organize and lay everything out as best i can for a picture or two! My wet tumbler just arived today, so i gotta get that opened up and set up too.. then ill be real close to FINALLY maybe reloading something! ironically, i have soooo much stuff, but still very limited to what i can actually reload becuase i am in need of some various projectiles, shell holders, and maybe powder(s) to cover most of my calibers.

Carl, PM coming in later tonight...

We’ll if you all don’t hate me yet; I got another beyond SMOKIN’ score today.. started out as the 5000 LR primers and 1000 #209 primers for 100$.. got there, and he threw in ALL this these other gems for 20$ more!!! All the dies are like brand new, case length gauges, powders, and miscellaneous shiit that I don’t even know what it is! Im def going to be posting in the reloading trade thread. I have no use for this many primers or half the stuff he threw in.. in 6 months of acquiring reloading gear to get started, I’ve amassed quite a large collection of equipment, primers, and supplies.. still need some specific powders and projectiles though. All this, and I havnt even reloaded my first round yet. :-0

.

Thanks for the info! My FFL in an antique dealer first; FFL is secondary and not the main business.. I sense i may have been the first stripped lowers he tansfered.. hence my concern now, as to how the paper work was done.. I picked up the two pack non-roll mark anderson stripped lower deal right before the covid shiit hit.. Two if them, in my hand, shipped, tax, transfered, for about 70$ total invested.... Ohhh man those were the good ol' days.. Hoping we see those kinds of deals again in the not too distant future... My first stripped lower i picked up from Garden State Shooting Center back in the fall.. I think its safe to assume they transferred it right as they had a whole display case of various stripped lowers, and i bought this one right out of their case.. So if i do build a non-nfa, ill just use that lower and leave the other two for AR type builds.... And yes, if you read this far, you just realized i have three stripped lowers for months and i aint done chit with them yet..

The boxes are still factory taped and sealed shut! From 1966... Im gonna feel bad opening them up! Any reason not too? Are these worth something more to collectors as sealed? Like i mentioned, i have about 120 rounds or so that i got with my enfield when i bough it. Im getting set up to reload all my calibers and already have .303 dies.. I picked up about 30 rounds of processed brass also.. So no real reason to have to open these sealed boxes, as i can reload those 150 or so rounds when need be.

Anyone know of a way or how to find out what an FFL entered/listed in the appropriate boxes on the 4473? Lets say you originally bought a stripped lower and didnt have a NON-NFA build in mind, so you didnt ask or question your FFL doing the transfer. My FFL hands me the blank 4473, i fill in my part and hand it back.. He does his thing, whatever it all is while i browse around. When he's done, i pay him he hands me some papers and my stripped receiver. Amongst the papers, a copy of the 4473 is NOT included. So who knows what he filled in or what boxes he checked off on the 4473. Any way to find out months or years after the fact???

Nice score again! finished up a project for a customer of mine. Got talking about firearms, specifically old military guns. Told him about the British Enfield .303 I had picked up for a song and that it came with about 120 rounds on clips. Date stamp on the heads of ‘52... husband of the house tells me his wife has a enfield .303 that her father gave her, along with over 1,000 rounds of ammo. So I finished the job, they gave me my final check, and the husband comes out and hands me this;

Im in for sloppy thirds!

The old ones are mostly empty. Though a few of them do have some remaining primers in them.. I don’t plan to use them. Was thinking of making/getting something sort of display case or box to put them in and show off.. I have some other old oddities I could add to the collection

How’s this for some more old ones!;

Today’s score.. 25$ each...

i know, crazy ehh??! My girlfriends son had a barely used 24" boys mountain bike. She bought it for him from Dicks a few years prior, he barely rode it. She was gonna put it out at the curb. I told her to try facebook marketplace for 75$ and see what happens.. We knew nothing of the bike shortage! Needless to say, she was BOMBARDED my messages and people wanting it ASAP. Even some offering more, if we would hold it for a day.. Ended up selling quickly for the 75$ and the people drove from an hour away to pick it up. My son got a flat on his 26" mountain bike.. Pulled the tube out, its split at the seem.. No biggie, run out and get a new tube... NOT! 6 stores later, still no tube.. FINALLY find an over price 'Slime" filled tube 2 weeks later,, CRAZY! Look on the shelves in the bike section of your local walmart or target store.. EVERYTHING is gone.. Tubes, helmets, etc etc... Who woulda thunk...

As the title states, looking for .223/556 dies, 9mm dies, and .40s&w dies.

Still looking for .223/556 dies, 9mm dies, and .40s&w dies. Have some other die sets to trade. Might have some bullets or factory ammo rounds to trade.

Pretty heavy price there... Wal-marts typically have them. I was in the Hamilton (mercer county) walmart yesterday and they probably had like 20 90ct cases. Looks like on sale too; 6.98$ a case the sign above them read...
