There is no evidence of the ring, INSIDE the case

I thought factory crimp ring too, then after firing it flows and looks the way it does? Idk Sketchy Did Winchester crimp primers on oddball/lever action brass?

"Aint no flys on that one"

Once fired no ring Someone told me this odd primer mark is signature for Model 71 lever actions w 348 having so much taper there is lots of bolt thrust.

Better quality

The top rounds in box, are clear face The bottom rounds (all others) have marks Not sure how many times reloaded maybe 4x max. If I had to guess. Need too keep better record of that. Look at bottom left fired brass, mark is not concentric.

I was admiring some of my 348 loaded ammo and once fired and noticed these rings on the brass face 😧 Not sure what I got going on here Got a few different lots of factory ammo and no signs of the rings, faces are clear Sorry for the low quality pic The ring is rubbed like, it is not a sharp...

had my Model 71 freeze up in Maine Made it back to cabin to thaw it out, had freeze ups following day. Mag tube problems. If I was stuck in the woods w no cabin, I surely would have been fooked. Keep good fire starters on you in cold weather hunting. Things can go sideways fast. Keep your...

What's out there for interesting 22lr competition accuracy grade rifles that are steel recievers? Left Side Charging would be a plus. Looking for an heirloom quality, preferably USA made rifle, that we can put thousands of rounds through and not worry. Aluminum actions are a worry for years...

The EEZOX looks cool w great reviews. I haven't tried any dry lube products, but they are certainly interesting to keep from accumulating dust, dirt, grime, and still maintain a barrier from corrosion. I usually grab BREAK FREE CLR but like many oils it attracts dust and lint and you name it.

It certainly smells good, I enjoy using it to fog things that rust But the deer will smell u coming fer sure

My life story Over analyzing into road blocks!! 🤔 Thanks for support I aint giving up

I'm a little nervous as to how I will be trimming my "hard as steel" access away at the end of the project. I'm not going to set it up in the Bridgeport mill. Maybe I can make a straight wall w the plumbers putty? A FORM if you will I know a dremel freehand is unlikely to come out straight I...

I was able to forcefully peel that marinetex out w a flathead screwdriver like it was a bad calus. I reckon nothing holding my rifle together is allowed to be so lame. This time around I am going to use DEVCON PLASTIC STEEL SYRINGE #62345 ***Undecided on release agent Will scuff composite...
