    Turbulence Injuries

    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.

    Convince Me......Universal Decapper Die

    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).

    Old Reloading Tools

    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.

    Anyone fix their own mechanical watches?

    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!

    Anyone fix their own mechanical watches?

    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...

    Anyone fix their own mechanical watches?

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

    M1 Carbine marked Springfield Armory

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

    Who made these synthetic J-Frame stocks?

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

    Anyone fix their own mechanical watches?

    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.

    Anyone fix their own mechanical watches?

    Keeping time is relative. As long as it is relatively close I'm OK with that.

    Who made these synthetic J-Frame stocks?

    K frame RB eh? I suppose that is possible. They are sending me the J-Frame screw I asked them for, so I guess I'll see how it goes when that gets here.

    Who made these synthetic J-Frame stocks?

    From the estate of a friend that passed. Marked PGS. Pierce Grip maybe? I think they made revolver stocks about the timeframe my late friend would have bought these. Thoughts?
