If I use the GSC method I should be able to get a case sized to the actual specs of my chamber. Then, if I were to compare that to SAAMI specs, I should be able to calculate the difference in my own chamber.

The method described by GS Customs is in my opinion only for you to have a method of measuring without actually measuring.
 Its is so to say a way of finding out if you need to or not have measurements done professionally.

I am still using my 1990 Lee single stage entry level press. 1 to 100 rounds, no difference at all.

Surely there must be some form of recourse when woman do such malicious actions.

Quote from: Tripodmvr on May 11, 2024, 08:12 PMI know of two cases in the Vaal Triangle where the licensed owner had to take preventative steps and employ a lawyer to counter false accusations. One was a divorce case where the wife accused the husband of threatening her with a gun. The other was a mother-in-law who carries a grudge against her son-in-law and also made similar accusations. Both the parties mentioned had to fork out money to keep their firearms.

It is exactly my concern - a small amount of detonating compound going off on the inside of a depriming die might cause some trouble. It is not worth the risk.

It does not cause issues, just a moerste skrik.Not to say it can not cause an injury, but it seems to just go bang and cause some blackness.
When pushing out live primers, make sure the rod does not seal the case neck (use universal or smaller caliber decapping pin)

The best part of the story in the video I posted was the fact that he is still married to the woman and she is expecting their second child. It seems as though she is reluctant to tell the truth to the cops.

Makes me think of the joke about passengers in a train where the husband and wife conversed through one of their children. A fellow passenger enquired about this strange action. The husband replied that they have not been on speaking terms for 10 years, but they have three kids of age 8, 6 and 3. When the passenger remarked on this, the answer was that they were not that cross with one another.

A blowback action has to be made heavier, as I understand it.

By implication, it would be more sensitive to variations in the ammunition.

They probably save production cost and make it more reliable.

FOR GERMAN SPECIAL FORCES: G95 K


Interesting that they are using an AR15 type action ?
Actually looks like a clone of an AR15
What happened to their roller lock system ?




Why do you think HK discontinued delayed blowback action?

One hopes it works better than their Leopard II

I gather the "punch-line" starts at 14:15 ?  police taking guns ?
Read through a bit and you will discover it has everything to do with an aggrieved partner ( woman ) making a complaint at the local police,
Just like this one ...


IF the police have "serious" complaints submitted then they have to attend to them
Unfortunately some police like to make the most of - "their powers"

One wonders what the police will do with someone that has more than 300 military vehicles - most of which are NOT "de-activated"

Just like everywhere else - not what you know but who you know
It also helps if you have been a serving member of the MoD - especially with active service
It also depends on what part of the country you reside in

Just be VERY grateful we do NOT have the same competency here !
