    If it's anything like normal ammo, you'd want to remove the primer to make sure that's cleaned as well. Most ammo uses lead in the primers.

      See, that's the kind of shit I knew I wouldn't think of. I don't imagine the residue inside will be impossible to clean out, but I'd never have considered the primer giving me brain damage.

      I wouldn't drink out of that without a plastic or preferably glass inner liner tbh

      Eh, I figure it'll be fine if its cleaned out. I don't know what the case is made of but I don't imagine it'll corrode or anything like that.

    Clean it like others said, almost forgot about the lead styphinate in the primer, and I personally would either use 2 part resin or a spray on (spray can) clear coat to coat the interior. Finding something food safe is going to be hard, though. I'd probably put a decent coat of epoxy to fill the bottom of the case (~2mm) after cleaning to really prevent anything getting in the primer/primer pocket, not just because of the lead, but also for cleanliness; small cracks and crevices are impossible to clean properly that deep in a "cup". Then coat the sides while the epoxy is still curing so you don't have two layers of epoxy that aren't fused. Maybe also paint the very top of the case's exterior to prevent transfer of anything unwanted to your lips.

    Also I was going to mention the depleted uranium ammo but apparently it's a DU core inside aluminum projectile so maybe it's not as bad as I had been lead to believe after old "lol dude look at my GAU-8 barrel" threads.

      I worked at a military treatment facility. Had a patient who was the ammo handler for the A10. Loaded the ammo and constantly was around the shit. Long story short he has (had?) a very aggressive, but stable cancer for 5 years when I had met him. Shit came in hard and fast, would recede, and come back just as fast. Point is who knows if the du shit caused his cancer, but I wouldn't drink from anything that has been in contact with the stuff

    I need help with a Lithgow Model 12 I bought, it is in .22lr and I can't get it to work, I can't load the magazine and even when I do manage to get one round in, it won't feed them in to the chamber when I work the bolt, it is almost as if the magazine is to far away from the chamber and won't feed in, the magazine can be compressed easily and is lubed, but it won't let more than 1 round in, it is almost as if the magazine is too short. Am I moronic? I am using cci standard. It is the right calibre

      What does the magazine lock into in the gun? I had a Remington Nylon with a similar issue. Might just be something bent out of shape in the mag catch. But it sounds like you should also disassemble the magazine if you're having issues even loading it. For a sanity check: you ARE putting the rim in that little notched out area, pushing it down, and then back into the magazine, correct? You're not trying to force it between the feedlips or anything, right?

        I'm loading it right, not trying to load it straight down, I have owned a few .22lr mags. I think they might actually be the same mag (I have a 5rd one, but the 10rd one looks the same). How did you fix yours, the Lithgow Model 12 doesn't have a push buttons release mag, its a a friction fit with some springs for tension

        • 1 year ago

          My pic was of a Lithgow mag, not a Remington. The Remington has a bar going through an odd "tunnel" in the spine of the magazine (vertically) and a magazine catch (base of "tunnel", triangular). What the issue ended up being (which was near impossible to find someone fixing it correctly) was the magazine catch had a spring behind it. That spring was a piece of flat ~1mm sheetmetal IIRC that the plastic mag release/catch slid over. Removing it from the rifle completely allowed you to bend the piece to tweak it a little and re-install it, then reassemble the gun. The magazine isn't held so firmly in the gun anymore like when I got it, but the new angle the magazine is held in prevents the rounds from doing what they were before, which was either not getting picked up, getting picked up but crashing into the 6 o'clock area of the chamber (no feed ramp), or rarely cycling. Now it cycles like nothing was ever wrong.

          You see a lot of people globbing epoxy all over their $50+ mags in hope of fixing their gun. Meanwhile all they had to do is remove, bend, and reinstall the catch spring as it also has a role in setting the magazine to the correct seating depth (not so shallow that it doesn't let rounds be picked up, not so deep that the bolt hits it) as well as the angle of the magazine itself which affects feed angle (nose not angled so high that it hits the 12 o'clock area and bends the round at the bullet/case, not angled so low that it hits the 6 o'clock area and doesn't go anywhere).

          Is that what's wrong with your gun? I don't know. But the fact that the magazine doesn't go far enough in has me scratching my head. Are there burrs on the mag? Dents in the magwell? Does the mag catch move freely?

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            There isn't a magazine catch, it is held in by friction of two leaf springs, I think their isnt an issue with how far it sits in, just that I'm not use to not seeing a feed ramp

            How would I disassemble the magazine? I doesn't really look like it comes apart. If I can't fix it I will unironically have to give it to the gun store or to the cops to kill it, since I don't have the room in the safe for a dud gun and the bureaucratic registration process makes it not practical to sell

              Doesn't look complicated. Magazine body, floor plate that slides off, spring, follower. The mag may also be bowed out or rusty (rust is puffier than normal steel) which prevents proper insertion depth or something. Someone may also have put the follower in the wrong way around (back to front) which may screw with how the follower rides in the magazine body.

    Is it worth saving 308 brass? I know 9mm is basically worthless, but I've sort of been in the habit of bagging up my 308 just not to leave it littered around, and being much bigger it tends to be easier for me to pick up too. But I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time/storage space, it's still a common caliber not some rare one. I don't reload but have been considering it someday, but who knows when "someday" will come if it does. And I think I saw on /k/ brass always needs to be cleaned before reuse? If it's not cleaned right away but rather years later does that still work or is it too late and the crud sets into glue or something? I don't have any tumbler or whatever else.

    • 1 year ago

      All brass is worth saving because even if you don't reload it, it's worth good money as scrap.
      It doesn't matter when you clean smokeless brass. Straight after the range or 10 years later, makes no difference. However if you're shooting black powder cartridges that brass needs to be cleaned ASAP because the BP fouling is corrosive.

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        Thanks anon. Not shooting any BP except rarely with a friend's guns this is just normal smokeless. I remember reading on /k/ sometime that 9mm brass was pretty worthless period even as scrap except in ginormous quantities. Worth it for a range but not for an individual practicing with an hg. But apparently some rifle brass was very helpful for reloaders.

        If nothing else I think I might offer it to my buddies or some of the nicer guys at the range who reload, if they're interested maybe pay 'em back a bit for some of their help and free shooting they offered me.

    If you want it to stay completely metal, the easiest process is probably tinning. Copper can leach with acidic foods.

    Just make sure to get the brass down to bare metal and get every last bit of fouling out. I would use a brass tumbler and some light wire brushing. You could also use the tin to fill the primer pocket.

    I tried the range loaner S&W 686 and Colt Python and couldn't feel a difference. I've heard the double action pull smoothness is big but I'm too new to revolvers to notice.
    Is the Python worth the extra money? I'm willing and able to pay as long as it isn't just for the brand name.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      The 686 is a good gun, the Python isn't any more reliable or built better. It has a nicer finish and is measurably more mechanically accurate due to how the barrel is made on Pythons in particular, this is why you saw people putting python barrels on Ruger or Smith frames back in the day. Is that worth the extra $500? for most people, no. The finish is nice but the accuracy difference only matters if you're in autistically high level revolver competitions, which most people aren't.
      I personally like the King Cobra for personal defense, your getting a similar level of finish and a frame that is a lot smaller and easier to carry for pretty much the same price as a 686. If its going to be a range/hunting gun or you want a longer barrel, it might not be a good option.

        That would make sense for extended mags, but 9mm, 45 acp, etc. have tapered cartridges with straight mags. There already exists bottleneck pistol cartridges like 30 luger with straight mags as well, so I'm having trouble understanding why you'd sacrifice reliability of extraction.
