    Bugproof Your Stuff

    When I finish cleaning a batch of brass I sift the media into a tall trashcan and leave it there till the next time. Then I pour the media back into the tumbler. Today I had a nasty surprise.

    L1A1 Mystery Part

    The part in question is a pin 10mm long, 3mm diameter. One end comes to a point, about 45°, the other end is flat with a rim. The thing looks like a miniature pistol cartridge. I have looked at several exploded drawings and have yet to spot it. Either it's part of a sub-assembly, or some joker...

    Baked Brass?

    The other day at work, I was discussing reloading with a friend and he mentioned that a fellow he knows bakes rifle brass in the oven. He asked if I had ever heard of this. My best guess was it is to heat treat the brass. Told him I wasn't sure, but know where to find out. Anyone heard of this...
