Don't be shy with offers!

Sure do. Good friend is a long time FA for a US airline. She got some compressed vertebra and a concussion from bouncing off the cabin ceiling on a flight in unexpected turbulence. I believe she said the other FA on that flight broke a limb in the same event.

Just used one to decap two five gallon buckets worth of .30-'06 brass that I didn't want to resize. A combination of RCBS and Lee dies as at one point I bent a decapping rod (my own fault).

In addition to the KCI magazines, I have heard good thing about the ones sold by Keep Shooting though I have no personal experience with them.

Was just using my old RCBS A2 to deprime some .303 British brass. Bought it in a box lot out of the back of a gun shop several years back for less than scrap value along with a Freeland stand and some other useful bits I can't recall at the moment.

Success! With some more guidance from Dave I got the jewel back in. I can't believe how SMALL the jewel screws are. Watch went back together smooth after that and I now have a running watch again!

An update on this. Dave Haynes was kind enough to send me some springs for my watch. I was so close to complete success and then I created another problem for myself. I got the watch apart, old broken spring out and the new spring in and reassembled. I thought something wasn't lined up quite...

Yes, many times, and quite enjoy it.

I've had great service from brushes made/sold by Pro-Shot Products (in addition to Brownells brushes).

Thanks for the offer, check your PM's.

I have some family watches as well from both sides. Unfortunately not all run and those that don't are not worth fixing either.

Probably the nicest commercial M1 Carbine receiver made at the time. Milled from barstock I believe and fully interchangeable with USGI parts.

Survey says! They are indeed J frame stocks and the replacement screw fit perfectly.

They will not do just a mainspring replacement. To do the broken spring, they require doing a full service as well to the tune of $450-500 (estimated) which this watch is just not worth. I understand their position, but I don't need nor want a full service on this watch at this point.

I may give them a call Monday.
