Picked up an early 59 the other day, made just after the grooved rear strap. Been looking for one to go with the 39 to complete part of the collection. Disassembled to clean it and looked like it had not been cleaned in many years, took about 45 minutes to remove all the crud. Fondly remember...

Things change over time, the SPP V LPP in 45 ACP is no big deal as one should inspect each case before loading. I have 2 bins and separate them during inspection. What GALLS me is no more Unique or Bullseye due to greedy lame azz management/ owners of powder mfg. Just got back from range and...

Have not seen any, who, where carries this ammo?

All high end machine tools, would love to get that tour as I spent many years as a machine tool tech. Kind of surprised the guy asked if barrels were hammer forged as all hammer forged barrels are round. Here’s a couple of forged barrels, shot gun and half finished 7.62.
