Can you share a picture? How'd you bond it?

I ran into this once I started cutting properly sized chambers. ;) I had to make a body die to 'fix' the brass when used in the tighter chamber. Tired brass simply expanded enough that I needed the body die at each loading so that got tossed. Once-fired didn't have that issue. This was in a...

Be quick!!! #35 primers

I use these for cleaning up the shoulder and finish profiling.

Just another option for those that find this thread in the future. I've successfully used a cleaning patch in place of the wax paper. Same concept, different material.

Those are fairly inexpensive and usually in stock at Manson.

This one?

I read that to mean you couldn't, for instance, install a muzzle brake without a manufacturer's license.

I went down a rabbit hole by accident today and came across this page outlining the ATF's proposed rule 2021R-05. The thing that caught my eye was the second paragraph under Licensing of Dealer/Gunsmiths. How do you folks interpret this? Dealer/gunsmiths are not authorized to perform repair...

I've got a lot of stuff from Area 419 over the years including the Zero press. All well made stuff.

That describes the trigger in my S&W Shield Plus. And, that trigger is supposedly an upgrade over the older Shield model!

They are good folks and the hobby-machinist forum has, basically, a support group. I, too, added one of their mills two years ago. I went with the 833TV which is the largest benchtop mill. I added the DRO and power feeds and love it.

I'm a hobbyist and have a PM 1340GT with VFD, DRO and proximity stop. It's plenty large enough to do any gunsmith work.

Yep, that's the stuff I was referring to. Most of the information I find on it seems it's mostly used in the aviation industry. I did find this Q/A, though, which suggests it wouldn't be suitable for bedding. Q: How much heat will Metlweld epoxy adhesive take? A: MetlWeld has a maximum...

Not to hijack the thread but has anyone tried, or even heard of, Metlweld? I ran across it for a different application and it looks like it might make a good bedding compound.

I had that same RCBS seater with Holland's modifications. While nice it doesn't come anywhere near the feel of the Primal Rights CPS tool. Not even close. It's a spendy little tool, that's for sure.

I have a nice 4-jaw but have used the set-tru 3-jaw for virtually everything. I actually two of them and a set-tru collet chuck. After using those I dislike the 4-jaw unless it's an odd shape I have to hold.

I have one of the CPS units and a Century21 hand tool. The CPS unit is very, very nice. Working it is quick and smooth and be done with one hand leaving the other free to simply add/remove a case.

That is slick! I don't turn enough necks to build a fixture like that. But, if someone here wants to make and sell one.....

Not to the degree of accuracy that I'd like. I've done lots of threads with this method and I have no complaints. I was just making sure I understood that this discussion is regarding compound use.
