That little glass jar is like a small grenade if it were to go off!!! I'de separate the primers into smaller lots or better yet put them into modern primer packaging so they are less likely to go off.

I think the problematic g.i. 1911 mags you're thinking about are the rejected or fake Mason-Rust brand ones. Some are packaged in sealed kraft paper wrap. The have what looks like the correct stampings for a g.i. mag with the manufacturer code of "MFR 30745". I got some of the real g.i. ones...

Check out this thread about using steel media and wet tumbling....pretty impressive results.....even if I wouldn't bother, I'm still impressed. Stainless Steel Media Testimonials - Sniper's Hide Forums

His prices are listed here.... Bullet Prices-Quantities-Sizes-Pictures- updated 12-30-09 I got my first order from him the other day. I ordered 2000 of the 38 spl. 158 gr SWC bullets along with 1500 of the 45 caliber 200 SWC bullets. This month, he mentioned, sending a free '30 cal ammo can...

A company named SDM makes a some front sights for the S&W revolvers including a gold bead one as well as the fiber optic insert ones. Here is a link to their site.... SDM Fabricating Home

You are correct. The new front sight blades will need to be drilled for the pin. Mark the pin hole location from each side with the sight in the front sight slot. Then remove the sight and drill about half way through from each side of the sight so you don't have the hole pop out off center...

SDM does make fiber optic front sights for the removeable style in case someone with that feature wants them. Super Sights

Do all the Classic models have the spring loaded front sight or was that just on the DX models??

I have seen a thread on the BE Forum (Brian Enos Forum for the unknowing) that showed how to convert the new style to the old style. It didn't look difficult. Edited to add: Couldn't find the old thread on BE but did find a similar one on Snipers Hide...

The value-packs of WWB in 45 ACP were going for $29.97 when they were/are in stock at Walmart last I bought some for my brother.

Definately crimped.

Had the hammer and trigger studs shear on my wife's 586 and S&W replaced them and refinished the frame.....wish they'de have refinished the cylinder too. Still my favorite revolver.

CRS is, I'm going to guess, "Can't Remember Squat".

I'm guessing the difference is like with CCI selling a version they call their "arsenal" primer that has a slightly thicker cup material. It's insurance the floating firing pin in some weapons won't accidentally light off a round. I ordered the standard primers and don't feel there will be an...
