I notice canuckgaucho is involved in a lot of these ^^^^

brownells charges a 10 dollar transfer fee to send them to your ffl holder, then your ffl holder charges 10$ also. if you buy from aero you only get charged one 10$ transfer fee

I built a bench type 243 worked out well. started with aero u & l . krieger made the 24", 10t barrel, 936 adjustable gas block. jp high pressure bolt, and lite mass carrier. has geissele saa-e trigger. a2 stock, aero extension and spring. leupold 6-24x50 scope. used it in south Dakota last spring for prairie dog hunting. shoot 75gr v-max. no recoil. do have a brake on barrel, can't remember brand. we mostly shoot in the 4 to 6 hundred yard range. some out to 8 and 9 hundred. it weighs 13lbs 10oz. would send picture but haven't figured that out

besides the rem rolling block I also have a sharps carbine. during the war (civil) it fired a .52 caliber 450 gr. bullet and used a linen cartridge and percussion cap. after the war the sharps company converted 31,098 of these carbines to 50/70 centerfire cartridge. most of these guns were sent west to be used by cavalry in the indian wars in the 1870's. mine is one of these. some found their way to the franco-prussion war.

with out going and looking at the gun I believe it is an 1871 rem rolling block carbine. I cast bullets for it and went elk hunting, didn't get a shot with it but the following year I killed a spike with the trapdoor 45/70

just finished neck sizing and chamfering 250 starline pieces of 260 rem. brass.getting closer...

i think cunuckgoucho was an enabler

i have been researching appleseed proj. to find the closest to me. in the listing is washington state listing four locations all on wet side. in their info they talk of shooting 4oo yards at some ranges. they list an info phone #. you could ask them how far they shoot at which range. the ranges listed are olympia, redmond, eatonville, port townsend.

speaking of pics, i have been trying to find where i think it was 98 explained to belt fed how to put pictures on this forum. haven't found that conversation again. help, please

happy new year all!

loaded 1000 12ga 1oz loads yesterday, today loaded 750 more. wife and i went to club this morning and unloaded 200. i shot 99 she shot 92, this is her 3rd year shooting.

this may be in pistol and rifle shooting, release triggers are quite common in shotgun sports. legal in ata, pita, elks competition

250 starline pieces of brass. i used starline brass in the 243 win. ar, they seemed to come out in pretty good shape. i have never neck turned any brass, maybe one of these days. i bought a box of 143gr. hornady eld-x to try, as most things i shoot at around here are live(coyotes,badgers,rats,deer,elk,sage rats) once in awhile a rock or two. i am pretty excited to get it running. loaded 6.5x55 years ago for my sons first deer rifle, other than that have never personally used a 6.5 caliber rifle.

that it is, brass showed up, waiting on dies and crimper. hoping to get the athlon argos btr scope in jan.

@carverelli, i pulled the jp bcg out of .243 win. it consists of a high press bolt and lightweight carrier. the bolt has the seal you described(looks like key ring). i pulled the brownells bcg out of 260 rem.(hasn't been fired). i installed the jp bolt in the brownells carrier and it does pass the stand up test.

the bolt does pass the bcg stand up test with the carrier its installed in, but the carrier is a lightweight carrier also(8oz. lighter than std) so may not be good test. will pull another carrier (brownells std weight) and try jp bolt in it tomorrow after work.

i to used a jp high pressure bolt in my 243 win build( didn't know about checking ring resistance) for the same reason. i had no trouble with mine working correctly, ran appx. 250 rounds through it shooting at prairie dogs

merry christmas to you all. may god bless your day
