As per Fadda's recommendations, I mounted my Uniflow onto an RCBS base on top of a 16"x16" piece of furniture grade plywood from my scrap pile.

I then primed 50 .223 cases...

Personally, I'm torn. It almost seems sacrilege to me to own a pistol that will never be fired.

That said, you and the rest are correct. It would be a shame to change it in...

Nice, Ron.

Too many of our citizens have forgotten, or maybe never known, what makes America great.

In my continuing effort to make my 1911s my daily carry, I bought a pair of Milt Sparks SS2 holsters from Brownell's. They were delivered in about a week, and they sure do look and feel good. One for...

I got a chance to play around with the Uniflow for a while and wasn't real happy with the results.
