  1. Wet rotary tumbler kit

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    Hi all, I put together some rotary tumbling kits a while back for myself and a few shooting pals and sold a couple that were spare. I kept this one back in case I needed any spares and as my own kit just keeps trundling on, this one's just sat under the bed gathering dust and I'd rather it got some use. Included for sale is brand new:

    230v mains tumbler

     

    Watertight rubber tumbling drum

     

    Burnishing soap

     

    Stainless steel tumbling media + full instructions for use.

     

    I use one of these kits to tumble 100+ .357 magnum cases or 50+ x .308 cases at a time on a 1.5hr tumbling cycle to get them looking like new. Insides of cases, flash holes and primer pockets also come up sparkling!   £125 posted

  2. Motorcycle front & rear paddock stands plus MX stand

    in Other Sales

    Posted · Edited by sterling

    Hi all, for sale is a set of front and rear motorcycle paddock stands. Feature heavy-duty construction, used for racing.

     
    Front stand has under-fork supports, rear stand has bobbin adapters fitted.
     
    The rear stand has had the cut/weld modification to shorten the length which allows a motorcycle to be loaded into a short van with stands fitted.
     
    Both stands are structurally and mechanically sound whilst there are marks, wear and surface rust to be expected with an item of this nature.
     
    £25 for the pair of paddock stands, collected from Kidderminster area DY12.
     
    Also for sale is a steel FRO Systems motocross stand, perfect mechanical condition but surface rust and marks to be expected: £15 collected.
     
     
     
    Thanks for looking!

    The dogs doo dahs if your into black powder.  Well engineered. I would want to know if it was made pre Smith & Wesson take over of the Thompson/Centre production as quality went a bit wobbly for a while.  I shoot Thompson/Centre rifles and they are well made.  Unfortunately I do not have a use for this one.

    They are certainly the best off-the-shelf black powder reproductions I've come across and I wouldn't part with it if circumstances were different. Smith & Wesson took over Thompson/Center in 2007 and this rifle was made a good while before that. The Thompson factory went up in flames, taking the tooling and records of serial numbers with it, so unfortunately if you didn't date your rifle before that, you're left with just guessing.

    Hi all,

    For sale is a single cavity Lyman bullet mold #245496 for .243 Winchester or other suitable 6mm chamberings. Casts an 85gr gas-check Loverin style bullet, which consistently shot sub MOA for me. In nearly new condition, in original box and like hens' teeth to find (I had to import this one). I also have a whole host of other .243 reloading paraphernalia available if of interest.

    £55 posted (UK mainland).

    Thanks for looking!

  11. .410 platic vs fibre wad pressures?

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    So in theory going from plastic to fibre should be ok?

     

    I've read through a lot of .410 data and I've never seen pressures/velocities using felt, fibre or cork wads matching pressures obtained using plastic wads. I personally go out on a limb and use any like-for-like (2.5" or 3" and corresponding shot load) plastic data with fibre wads, I just steer clear of hot primers like CCI 209M and stick with medium types like Fiocchi 615's. I've got clay & game's .410 cork wad data somewhere around here if you want it?

  15. Wet rotary tumbler kit

    Hi all,

     

    For sale is a brand new wet stainless rotary tumbling kit. I put some kits together for myself, my old man and a couple of shooting mates and I'm selling these last couple to recoup a little. Everything needed to bring brass cases back to factory new appearance is included:

     

    230v mains tumbler

     

    Watertight rubber tumbling drum

     

    Burnishing soap

     

    Stainless steel tumbling media

     

    I use one of these to tumble 120 x .357 magnum cases or 60 x .308 cases at a time on a 1.5hr tumbling cycle to get them looking like factory new. Insides of cases, flash holes and primer pockets also come up sparkling! It is possible to tumble more brass than this at once or reduce the steel media and load her right up, but this is what I personally do. £140 posted

  17. Winchester 1894 .357

    Trapper model....for them not familiar with barrel lengths/model names

     

    Got one for sale, but in .45, so no good for you.

     

    Trapper - that's the one. Handy little carbine, should fit nicely across the saddle as I ride my trap lines. Well, a man can dream.... :)

     

    I actually filled in the variation form with 45 colt on it first, then had a change of heart and did a new one for .357 instead. Why they don't just issue authority to acquire "pistol calibre rifle" or something similar and allow like-for-like swaps without a variation is beyond me!

    Evening,

     

    If any of you good folks have or know of a Winchester 1894 in .357 with 16" barrel for sale, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know please. I'm in Birmingham area but would happily travel or RFD~RFD for the right rifle at the right price.

     

    Thankin y'all

  20. .410 Light Game Slugs

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    Evening,

     

    It's time to liberate some sheckles from my stash of shooting paraphernalia, so I have some .410 Light Game Slugs for sale. These were bought from Buck Ball & Slug and incorporate a specialised slug drive-wad with a .375" hard cast ball. These are safe to be fired from full .410 chokes and are a real hoot to shoot with surprising accuracy from smooth bores.

     

    Cost £11.98 per 25 posted, now £7.50 per 25 posted. I will also combine postage on multiple lots of 25.
