Picked up a Mec Sizemaster in 12ga along with a few pounds of shot at auction. What is nice about his press, you can change out the die set. One of these days, I'd love to own a S&W Governor, so being able to load 410 would be a plus.

^nice man!
Any reason you went with the stag BCG instead of a BCM? I'm only asking because the rest of the upper is BCM. Uppers are annoying to build......when you finish you can't wait to do another one!.....problem is in CT, it's annoying to have uppers without lowers

I went with a stag because it was what I had bought a couple years ago to go with my stag 22 upper I robbed off the stag 22 gun I bought. (Chambered 556 with a 22 conversion bolt) I used that upper with my preban lower I bought.
A bcm bolt is on my list when and if it goes on sale. The stag has the same steel for the carrier and bolt hp mpi as well. Who knows I might run it.

Thanks a ton for posting that you had done it, it motivated me to sack up and get it done. And what a difference it makes.

Did a ton of work on the cuda this weekend. Roughed in the alignment, installed the radiator, exhaust head pipes, clutch and brake linkages, rear wiring harness, rear trim, tail lights, gas tank, neck, filler tube & cap, bolted on the hood, and ripped out the interior to install a new carpet. The goal is to have it go up and down the driveway under its own power this coming weekend, then wetsand/buff, install the grille, drive home and hit an alignment shop for some canyon carving camber/caster.

Lots of car guys here it seems. Anyone here ever self install clear bra before? I'll be damned if I'm paying hundreds of dollars for the install. I want to do it myself, I've done vinyl and laminx before. I managed to make it through the winter with almost pristine paint because I don't tail gate, but the first tiny chip almost gave me a stroke.

I really appreciate it, but but I priced a dozen places and it was $500-1k minimum for just the bumper, and not always full hood. I eventually looked into the new proprietary clear gloss pro-quality Plasti dip type applications that came out the past year, but they seem to only be selling to the "pro" Plasti-Dip applicators and they're charging prices comparable with clear bra or a full car dip in triple pearl exotics ECT. I'd just go ahead and dip my whole car myself at that point and save half the money. |
