Kudos on the brass, it doesn’t take long to accumulate a fair supply just by a bit of diligence and being helpful in keeping the range floor clean.
The guys in the next booth didn’t know they lost their front sight?!?!
Now that your old green RCBS press is set up just add the dies, scale, powder measure and you are in business. Components are somewhat more available these days, though not at the Pre-2008 prices. Still far cheaper than factory.
When I clicked on this I was half hoping it was a mass-produced toy ahead of TheNewMovie.
The way their last target looked, I'm not sure they knew what sights were for. As Eddie Murphy said in I, Robot, "what do you do, just close your eyes and use The Force?"
I'm running late(r) on my "Saturday night" article, so I'll leave it for tomorrow as a Sunday supplement. I've got a grip screw jammed to the bushing on the Kimber Covert, so now I have a $300 Crimson Trace laser with one screw and bushing attached, and no way (so far) to get it off. I just put in an "emergency" order to Brownell's for rescue gear. I'll put on a new bushing, and stake every last one of them on the whole herd of 1911s so this doesn't happen again.
Just as the whole project was approaching a satisfactory conclusion.
