    10 round CZ magazine sawcut -WHY?

    My two extra CZ .40S&W magazines were posted from the dealer last week and are apparently 'post-ban' in s/steel 10 rounds.(But that's OK - as I only need 6rounds X4 for the match I am shooting). They are a bit tight still but look good polished, at $65AUD each - they'd better! But they are both...

    Denting/Marking on 40S&W brass -ideas please.

    Out of 70 auto rounds fired yesterday I found 22 with an upper chamber made dent near the top caused by "over-jumping" of the loaded round out of the magazine or off the ramp. This is a new pistol and all rounds chambered and fired OK without malfunction. Could it be the new mag springs or...

    Lyman media comments and questions.

    Anyone use the "refresh" product for corn-cob media in a tumbler/polisher? I use my excellent LYMAN Turbo-Twin a lot due to shooting on a grassed(mud?)range and find my green corn-cob media is now discoloured and appears to take longer to polish very discoloured pistol brass(range "droppies" as...

    Magazine capacity and OAL on .40 S&W.

    Now, I started with an OAL of 1.17" on my .40 S&W with good results for up to 6 rounds on steel plates, no feeding or ejection problems and good accuracy. So far so good...Next, I tried to load 12 rounds and could only get 8 in the magazine of my CZ-75 before it got very stiff and would accept...

    Wrong shell-holder on priming....easy mistake.

    We had a difficult problem with irregular ignition on a 40S&W over the weekend ...tracked to a 38Spl shell-holder being used for priming, [not bad priming gear or method as we thought.] After being a bit incredulous...I was surprised to find that it was an easy mistake for an older member, as...

    LEE carbide dies -thanks fellas.

    After my recent LEE AUTO-Prime good experiences, I ordered some Lee Precision Carbide Dies in 40S&W. They cost $AUD60 and came with full instructions AND shellholder and are really excellent and I got through re-sizing and de-capping 800 cases on the RC 11 press[once-fired cases from our local...

    Red-Dot type scopes for hunting -advice please

    I recently wanted to update my UK ex-military "SINGLE POINT" red-dot scope and I have been advised that an "ARMSON" O.E.G. is the best available. It also operates on fibre-optics - day or night, not batteries and is used with both eyes open -instinctively. I find a conventional low power WA...

    Aimtech/Hastings combo

    Anyone have experience of this excellent long range combination with 3" mags #5 shot (BR size) ? I use a Hastings 'turkey' compensated choke and an old big-dot UK made "Single Point" scope on Aimtech mounts and rings and had good results on crows to 40metres over the weekend(9 downed). There...

    Lee Auto Prime failure -TYPICAL ?

    My Lee Auto Prime hand-tool has apparent cracking/linear metal fatigue (in the chromed alloy body) of the shellholder's top groove, leading to patchy performance in seating primers.It is now unserviceable. I have heard the con-rod [in alum alloy] breaks and the factory has now shifted to steel...

    Could some of you at FL take a look at Joe Vialis web-site and perhaps explain why there was no enquiry and why the facts have been empargoed illegally until the year 2028. Hell if I live until then I will know why we lost our guns after the massacre in Tasmania. ------------------ ***Big Bunny***

    Beretta shotguns.

    Harley - Does anyone know the letters and series of these fine Italian made shotguns? I have some queries on older U/O 12 GA ones, but due to our dealers being bought up and closed down by the Federal Government "in the UN inspired campaign to make us all safer and reduce the crime rate". So...

    455 Webley, Auto/revolver?

    Harley, were there any British .455 Auto Webley pistols imported into USA to your knowledge ? They were a bit of a failure and very upright in the hand-grip area. I forget the civillian versions name, but it could have been "VULCAN". We have an idea that the ammo was not interchangeable with...

    Winchester Mod120 vs 1200

    Harley...Is there any difference(s) between these two P/A 12GA shotguns made by Winchester in US ? The reason I ask is that under the recent 'Gun Grab' in OZ the M120 weas not listed as compensatable in NSW, but the 1200 was at $480. One was handed in and destroyed and now the Govnt wants to...

    Rifled screw -in chokes, any good?

    I was wondering if these products(rifled screw-in choke accessory add-ons) are used by any members and ask for a report from them if so. Is the very short distance of rifling in the choke area on these designs (on an otherwise completely smooth bore) have any proveable effect on accuracy of the...
