Good video on keeping your mags loaded all the time.

Explains a lot from an engineering point of view.

I can tell from his graph this is about elastic response and pIastic deformation. I remember that discussion from Mechanics of Solids in school.

My guess is his conclusion is keep em loaded.

My understanding around the matter has always focused on the magazine springs themselves. And that spring steel gets fatigued from excessive compression/release cycles, *not* from being held in compressed position for long periods of time. Just my $0.02. (Keep em loaded)

A pretty good 'end your life from another zip code' rifle.

See the price on it?

I'm disappointed by the lack of color options. If I'm spending $13,000 on a rifle it can goddamn well come in hot pink.

Bet if you call them and talk about it. You can have any color you want......for a price.

If I sold someone a $13,000 rifle that could reach out and touch someone, like, say, the seller, from 10,000 feet away, I'd be REAL flexible on coloration pricing.

As promised, a list of brass that I don't have weapons for, that needs a good home. You want it, PM me. If you are coming to the Michigan summer meetup, I'll bring it along.

As a disclaimer, this is all range pickup brass. It has not been cleaned, just counted. Some may be a little grungy, but it might clean up.

185 25 Auto
~200+ 32 Auto (its a 4x4 ziplock bag full)
8 32 S&W
76 44 Mag
2 5.7x28
2 22 Hornet
2 7mm Mauser Rusty
1 7mm Rem Mag Rusty
1 6mm Rem
1 8mm Mauser
1 270
4 7mm TCU
11 35 Remington

I do have some live ammo, I can't ship that, but I can deliver it to Michigan. It is factory ammo.

Box of 50 FN 5.7x28 40gr Hornady bullets
22 270 Winchester 130gr SP

As always, I'm open to trade for stuff. I load for 380 Auto, 9mm, 38/357, 41 Mag, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, 223/5.56, 308, 30-06, 30-30, 32 Win Special, 6.8 SPC, 300BLK.

I have some empty RCBS die boxes. I'm switching over to the larger Hornady boxes and I hate to just throw away stuff. I have some extra reloading dies too. I'll work on a list of what they are, if anyone is interested.

Blown Deadline does great cerakote work, if you really want one in hot pink.

I have about 600 30-06 cases my RSO gave me because he knew I have an M1. He got them from a customer, placed neatly in the factory ammo boxes they came in...

A M1 is on my list to get, then I will have all the 'modern era' wood stock battle rifles. Going back older than the 1903A3 will require more $$$, but then again, maybe not. I like ones that I can shoot and are in decent shape. My 03A3 is a Smith Corona rifle, looks brand new and shoots well as long as the operator does his part. I paid $250 for it back in the 80s.

Parts are hard to come by. I had to replace the OP Rod and OP Rod Catch. Found only one guy on ebay selling those at the time.
If I can find an original M1 Carbine in good condition at a decent price, Ill be happy.
