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.

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.

I shot a M1 back in the late 80's early 90's. It was an interesting gun. Careful not to get your finger when loading.

Buddy purchased the wrong ammo for his AK lol

Anyone need 4 boxes of this stuff? I can bring it to MI in July or I'm pretty sure I can ship it UPS/FedEx though I'll need to double check on that.

Somehow I missed this, but I have been away from the forum for a while.
I have a FN57, so any of that ammo I would like. I have reloading dies for it now , but finding the bullets is hard. I have a gen1 and getting a red dot on top is no fun.
My son is into the Makarov pistols now and is resizing and making 9 x 18 ammo out of 9mm casings. We have will be casting these bullets soon. Tired of relying on ammo stores.

Here's the 9mm bullet mold I use. 124gr round nose with gas check. The gas checks helps to keep the barrel leading to a minimum.

I have been thinking of powder coating and run them thru a resizing die. Lee has the 6 cavity dies. I have no experience with those dies though.

If they're an aluminum mold. Stay away from them.
