What do you want to
Accomplish in 2014?
Here’s a Road Map to getting it done!
It’s the beginning of another year and we all make “New Year Resolutions,” most of
which don’t survive a single week. I too have been guilty of making promises to myself
that I quickly and quietly abandon. You know, lose weight, exercise more, spend more
time hunting, read my Bible more, etc. And unfortunately most of those don’t even
survive all of New Year’s Day. Can you relate?
But I am also pretty good about creating goals and accomplishing them in business.
The same principles when actually applied to my personal life also work pretty darn
well. So when is something a “wish,” verses a real Goal?
A wish is just that, it’s fluffy and full of fairy dust. Come on, it’s not like you really
believe it! A Real Goal is one that is a burning desire in your heart. Something you are
actually willing to work towards.
Well if I didn’t lose you with the “W” word, then let me lay out a road map for you that
will virtually guarantee success, IF you are willing to do your part.
It all starts with being very specific about the Goal, one you can clearly envision in your
mind, connect with what it will feel like when you accomplish it, then writing down
exactly how it will be when you finish it. All of that is really just step one. If you stop
there you will fail, just like every other time. What you do next is really important.
You need to be able to be very specific about the exact criterion that needs to be met
for the goal to be accomplished and when. For example “I am going lose 30 lbs by
June 30th.” Or “I will have $10,000 in a savings account by October 15th, 2014”.
Or “I will have the grand opening for my Gunshop on September 25th (my Birthday
BTW!), 2014.”
You need to be able to clearly describe what the goal looks like, what it will feel like,
how you will benefit from the achievement, and maybe even what it smells like (some
gun guys love the smell of Hoppe’s #9 more than Chanel #5!) Anyway, you have to
really envision everything about your goal and feel it! Does that sound like too much
work; if so, then you have given up already and your goal isn’t a burning desire, it is
just a wish and you might as well put your wish under the pillow. Chances are you will
only end up with chump change rather than real change!
Next, you have to break your goal down into manageable steps, often working
backwards from the goal itself. For example “Having $10,000 set aside by the Oct 15th”
(42 weeks) means that you need to figure out how to save $238.09 per week. ($10,000
divided by 42). There are 168 total hours in a week which works out to $1.42 per hour,
or you may work 50 hours a week and therefore need to generate $4.76 per hour for
every hour you work.

What’s in this Month’s Issue?
HAPPY NEW YEAR
GCA Members!
Welcome to the first issue of GunTech for 2014!
We hope you are looking forward to 2014 as much as we
are because we have a lot of great things lined up for you,
and this issue is the perfect kick-off to the New Year.
Slip 2000 Carbon Killer
Jack reduces his Carbon Footprint
“Just how does Jack do that!” you ask? Well
it’s easy, he simply uses SLIP 2000’s new
“Carbon Killer” to remove the carbon from his
barrel, action, bolt and more. I’m sure you’re
wondering just how effective it is. Never fear,
you know that if Jack is telling us about it he
has a pretty good idea (usually based on
personal experience and testing).
Masterpiece Arms MPAR
556 Side Folder Rifle
What looks like an AR and shoots like an AR but . . .
isn’t an AR! It is the new MPAR 556 from Masterpiece Arms.
At first glance you might mistake it for an AR but when you
fold the buttstock or look at the gas system you know it’s
not! Masterpiece combined their knowledge and experience
building the “MAC” series to re-invent the AR just a tiny bit
(O.K. maybe more than a tiny bit). Who better than Gene
Kelly to evaluate the results?
Pro Ears Ultra Sleek Pink Zebra
Revo Hearing Protectors
Calling all ladies!
Now thanks to the new “Revos” hearing
protectors from PRO EARS, all the ladies at
the range will not only be able to hear you
calling them, they will also be able to maintain
their style. These hearing protectors are made specifically
with the ladies in mind with stylish colors and patterns AND
with a smaller headband size.
Tips from the Workbench
This month Ken is back in the driver's seat for “Tips from the
Workbench” and he has chosen to revisit a subject he
covered a couple years earlier. “Now why would he do
that?” you might ask. Because he still receives guns with no
clear explanation as to why they are there and/or to whom
there are to be returned. You see, Ken is the person who
receives all the AGI shipments that will be used for filming
courses and GunTech segments with him and Bob Dunlap.
That means he gets guns from GCA members. He wants to
make sure that any guns you send are used for the reasons
intended and returned to the proper person.
The Stakes are HIGH with Darrell
Not gambling stakes, but stakes of a different sort! I know
we’ve said this a hundred times but if you want someone
making your list and checking it twice before you go into
the wilderness, you want it to be Darrell Holland! He takes
time thinking about every component you need in order to
survive, from fire building, to food, to shelter. And because
they are always on his mind, he is always looking for things
that can make your odds better when you’re battling ol’
Mother Nature! These super-lightweight shelter stakes are
just the latest great find
in his unending search.
Jack loses weight for the
Zev Tech
New Year
Fulcrum Fully
Adjustable Trigger
That’s right, Jack has lost
Kit w/Firing Pin
weight and the results are
well worth the cost! Where did
he lose weight? In his Glock
trigger, that’s where! Jack showcases the
“Fulcrum Trigger” for your Glock pistol from the folks at
Zev Technologies.
This is a drop-in trigger that has so many upgrades over the
original that we simply HAVE to let Jack tell you all about
them. Let’s just say this “drop-in” trigger has most of the
secret components of a Gene Shuey custom trigger-job built
right in!
Gene prepares for a Nuclear Winter
Gene reviews another great product from the makers of
Cannon safes. This one is not only for providing the best
security and protection for your firearms . . . it also provides
the ultimate protection and security for your personal
information as well! Yes, it is a safe with power and data
outlets built in so your hard drives with all your personal
information are not only protected from burglars, they will
not be harmed by the EM pulse from a thermonuclear
explosion. So after the big bang when your friends are all off
line, YOUR data will be intact! Not quite sure what all that
means? Watch and find out!
James River Armory Restored
1903A3 Springfield Rifle
It’s “Spring” at James River
What we actually mean is “it is 1903 Springfield time” at
James River Armory! Ken does part one of two in-depth
3
interviews with the folks at James River Armory and gets a
close-up look at their restored ‘03s and ‘03A3s. If you
always wanted a 1903 Springfield rifle you could
safely shoot and didn’t want it to look badly battleworn,
then you’ll want to check out these Springfields.
They don’t restore high-grade collector’s pieces but they do
make the old beat-up rifles look and shoot better than new!
“Climb Every Mountain” with Darrell Holland
You know . . . Darrell Holland actually looks like the
proverbial Swiss/Austrian mountain climber when he’s
wearing his little hat (you’ll see that later this year), but this
month in “Tips for the Woodsman” he is simply showing you
a way to get fit for those challenging mountain treks that
are coming up when you go a-field again.
It goes without saying that Darrell is one of the busiest men
on the planet and he is always looking for a way to be more
efficient. He has found an exercise machine that doubles
his calorie burn, cutting his workout time in half!
Check it out . . .
Arcus 98DA Semi-Auto
Pistol, Cal. 9mm
Firearm Evaluation #1
This month in our first of two Firearm
Evaluations we look at the Arcus 9mm pistol from
Century Arms. This company continues to turn out
one great firearm after another at affordable prices
(remember their “all American AK?”). This time it is a very
affordable 9mm pistol. But the question on everyone’s mind
is: is it worth the money?
Bob and Ken give it a very thorough evaluation at the bench
and then we hit the range to see if the gun performs.
Believe me, if it does then you can’t go wrong for the
money!
Apex Tactical Specialties
S&W M&P and Glock
Armorer's Block
Tool of the Month
One would think that
since Jack loves tools he
might occasionally have a hard time finding
new ones, but that never seems to be the case!
This month he showcases the M&P Armorer's Block from
APEX. At first glance it simply appears to be a hunk of
plastic that must have been holding things in place when
your computer got shipped but indeed it is much more!
Not only does it have just the right shape to cradle your
M&P pistol while you work on it, it has holes in all the right
places for removing and re-installing all the pins and parts.
If that wasn’t enough, it also works for Glock pistols!
4
Firearm Evaluation #2!
1918A3-SLR (Self Loading
Rifle) Semi Auto with
American Walnut Stock
Here it is! The second Firearm Evaluation in this issue is of
the new semi-auto BAR rifle from Ohio Ordnance. Those of
you who attended Gunstock 2012 might remember firing the
Ma Deuce that Ohio Ordnance so graciously provided. This
is their remake of a classic rifle in semi-auto so all of us can
own one. It looks gorgeous but is it made well?
Gene Kelly and Jack Landis give it a thorough going over to
evaluate the design and construction, then we head off to
the range to see how it performs. Gene really puts it
through its paces since he has experience with original
full-auto BARs!
GUNTECH BONUS: Gene and Gene go South
What do we mean by that? Well… Gene Shuey joined us at
the range recently when we were performing evaluations
and he brought along a couple rare guns. This one is a
“Southpaw” 1911 pistol. He gives us a detailed look at the
gun and then he and Gene Kelly take turns trying their left
hands at shooting it. Left-handed 1911s are quite rare so
you’re really going to enjoy this!
EXCEL ARMS MR-17
Disassembly/Reassembly
Course
We at GunTech pride ourselves on bringing you a unique
combination of the latest, most rare, and most common
firearms in our Disassembly/Reassembly Courses. We want
you to be prepared for what is coming to your shop and to
keep you learning by being exposed to different types of
firearm systems and different methods of construction and
assembly.
This month is no different; Ken guides you through the
complete disassembly and reassembly of the EXCEL Arms
MR-17 rifle. This is one cool looking little .17HMR rifle
(almost like something out of a SCI-FI movie), but you won’t
need a Klingon phrasebook to follow Ken’s expert guidance
on this little gem.
We hope you get a bang out of this month’s issue as we
kick-off the New Year. Gene and all of us at AGI and GCA
wish you the happiest New Year, we can’t wait to share all
the other goodies we have lined up for the rest of 2014.
Enjoy this month’s issue and we’ll see you next month . . .
in GunTech! ◆
Coming Next Month
UH OH . . . February is coming and you know what that
means!? Soon it will be Valentine’s Day, time for all firearm
enthusiasts to celebrate their first love and what better way
to do that than sitting down with GunTech. In fact, you
should order up an adult beverage or a bottle of Sarsparilla
so you’ll be ready to settle in and watch the February issue!
Gene checks out two exotic rifles at the range: a new rifle
from McMillan that is definitely different than your typical
AR-15 and the new Bull pup design from Keltec. A little
later in the issue Gene gets a close look at a revolutionary
new pistol from Boberg Arms. It’s a reverse feed pistol. Yes,
you heard us correctly!
Darrell’s “Tip for the Woodsman” this month is about getting
consistent accuracy from your handloads by seating the
primers the same depth and he shows you his latest
invention for doing just that.
Jack has a special feature this month for all of you who are
doing gunsmithing for others. He gets the inside scoop on
all the particulars related to firearms liability insurance
during an in-depth interview with Robert Chiarello himself
of Joseph Chiarello & Co. Inc.
For the second month in a row we have two Firearm
Evaluations! The first is on the new Henry .22 rifle. It looks
something like the original Henry only smaller. The second
evaluation is on the new Ruger American Rimfire .22 rifle.
This is the little brother to the Ruger American rifle we
reviewed last year. We scrutinize both guns thoroughly at
the bench and then wring them out at the range with our
usual gusto.
If that hasn’t increased your heart rate, Jack and Darrell
team up to showcase more new products and we have
another Bonus Feature this month. Gene and Jacob take you
on a guided tour of the Chiappa firearms factory in Italy!
Dickenson Shotgun
We finish up this
explosive issue with another great
Disassembly/Reassembly Course with Ken Brooks.
This one is on the Dickenson shotgun (boy, is this one a
BEAUT!). It looks like it’s going to be a long winter. What
better way to weather the storms than indulging in another
super-sized issue of . . . GunTech!
PS: We also have a secret bonus from Master Gunsmith
Gene Shuey . . . next month in GunTech! ◆
Note from the President Continued . . .
The next question you have to ask yourself is "How Can I?"
Most people won’t even ask themselves the question.
They just give up. If you do that, then it wasn’t a real goal,
it wasn’t a burning desire.
You have to keep asking yourself “How can I…?” until you
come up with the answer. You may find some way or idea to
start a business that makes you $2 an hour even when you
sleep (maybe an internet business). You may be able to do
one thing extra every week that pays you the $238.09 or you
may have to sell one thing a week that converts junk into
liquid assets. Whatever it is, if you want it badly enough, you
will figure it out. That, my friend, is the Real American
Opportunity we still have available to us, the freedom to do
anything we really set our mind to.
The same steps are required for doing anything. Losing
weight, doing more hunting (figure out what, how and
when!), getting your FFL, opening a gun shop, building a
custom gun, whatever it is.
The final steps are measurement and accountability.
You must have someone that can hold you accountable to
do the work or action steps required to move towards your
goal. You also must have a way to measure your progress
and do it frequently. I recommend daily or weekly. With
dollars or pounds, measurement is pretty clear. But with
starting a business, or other goals, you need those action
steps to become your milestones. Trust me, each one that
you accomplish brings you tangibly and emotionally closer
to your goal. This makes each additional milestone worth
striving for.
Here are a couple of important tips; the first is once you
have clearly defined your ultimate goal and the steps you
need to get there, focus all of your energy on just that next
milestone towards the goal. If you look all the way ahead to
the finish line, it may seem too far. Just focus on the next
step or milestone.
The second tip is when you pass a milestone, celebrate a
bit. It will encourage you and keep you going. But if you are
on a diet, don’t do it with a big tub of Vanilla ice cream!
Dang, that gets me every time!!
Here’s to achieving your Real Goals in 2014!!
Gene Kelly, President AGI and the Gun Club of America
Note: In addition to being the founder and president of the
American Gunsmithing Institute, the Gun Club of America,
and an International Security Expert, Mr. Kelly is a
respected business consultant whose portfolio includes
helping business owners achieve their ultimate potential.

Jack’s
Corner
by Jack Landis
AGI Technical Services Manager,
GCA Connection and
GunTech Editor
In a bow to a world I just plain don’t understand, I need to
make a comment about my column last month in which
appears a picture of my youngest, Jeanne, holding up a
coon skin and the coon from which she had just separated
it. I got a call soon after that from Mz. Jeanne telling me that
a female acquaintance of hers had “Unfriended” (?) her
after she (Jeanne) posted the photo on her Facebook page.
Now the part I don’t understand has nothing to do with the
lady’s disapproval of Jeanne’s action, as gun owners we are
all familiar with people spouting off and pontificating on
subjects in which they are entirely clueless. I offer up in
evidence the statement of a lady politician who opined that
the proper resolution to the hi-cap magazine fight was just
to ban the further manufacture of those magazines. Her
reasoning is that once the existing mags had been used
(emptied), they would no longer be an issue and the
“danger” would go away?!?! Wow!
In this case the lady was apparently appalled that Jeanne
would actually skin a defenseless animal, although I’m
compelled to believe that at that point the coon didn’t really
care anymore. I’m also somewhat mystified at her stated
objection to the killing of “defenseless” animals since I am
assured that this lady does indeed wear leather shoes and
belts and is shaped roughly like the animals that provide the
"meat" parts of her Big Macs. Well, obvious hypocrisy never
stalled the mouth speed of the self-anointed elites whose
mission in life it is to tell us dumber folks how to live ours.
No, what I don’t understand is the apparent desire of our
younger generation (and to their apparent dismay, their
parents) to post all the details of their lives in a public place
(Facebook, You Tube, Twitter (?) etc) for all to see. With a
strong understanding of the desire for privacy that
occasionally borders on the paranoid (not a bad thing, just
because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they really are
not out to get you) of many of our members, I can’t
understand why anyone I know would like to know that I’m
in the bathroom, at the store, looking at new shoes, etc. I
mean really, I don’t care about those things when my own
kids are doing them, why the heck would I care if yours are?
I just don’t get it.
Of course, Ms. Lenée reminds me there are many things I
“just don’t get.” To this you can add sticking steel objects
through various portions of one’s anatomy or having
permanent ink drawings all over one’s “Temple of the Soul.”
As one NBA star said, “It’s something to do when you are
bored” . . . Seriously?!? Do they ever stop to think that that
girlfriend du jour’s name, voluptuous maiden, snake/dragon,
etc., is going to look like a bad acid trip after the “canvas”
sags over the next 50 years?
I guess I could just go out to the shop and start whacking
my thumb (intentionally for a change) with a 24 oz ball peen
“adjustment” tool. Travel less, cost less, hurt just as much,
but will eventually heal.
Senator Feinstein demonstrating why she, at least, should not own an AK
If we ever needed proof that the weapons themselves are
not the danger, dangerous or illegal use of those weapons is
the danger, just recall the pictures of California’s very own
Senior Senator Dianne, ("I have a concealed ticket in
California because I’m important and you little people don’t
need one") Feinstein waving an AK around in a Senate
Committee hearing while her finger was curled around its
trigger.
6
I agree that all of the preceding discussion regarding a
desire for privacy by someone who gets paid some
miniscule amount to tell in print and on video everything he
knows or can make up (Oops!), may seem a bit hypocritical
in its own right, but it is true. Not only am I certain that
none of you could begin to care which jeans I’m wearing
today, for those of you who might (Wow, now THAT’S
creepy!), it’s none of your business.
Jeanne says that she really doesn't care and has no real
interest in that person anyway, which leads to the
question . . . well, never mind. Do not think that this is in
anyway an indictment of Mz. Jeanne. I have a wife, 4
daughters, and 4 granddaughters and I quake at the
thought of speaking ill of any of them. It’s just the reason
for the whole industry escapes me.

Producer’s
Cut
by Keith Hezmalhalch
AGI/GCA Executive
Video Producer
Seeing double
Happy New Year fellow GCA members, I hope you enjoy the
first GunTech of 2014! I really enjoyed hosting this issue, in
fact I always appreciate anytime I get to host an issue of
GunTech! “Aw you’re just saying that!” you say. No, it’s true!
Since the first time we had a “Bash” and I got to meet many
of my fellow GCA members I have felt a closer connection
with all of you. You see, I am a people-pleaser, I LOVE
seeing people happy. And anytime I can do something that
puts a smile on someone’s face, I am happy!
As Tweety Bird would say . . .
“It’s twu, its twu!” Please understand we at AGI really want
to give you not only what you need, but also what you want.
When we have no input from you we use our common love
of firearms and firearm-related things to guide us. But we
also welcome your input (thank you to those who contact
Jack to let him know what you like and dislike); your
comments serve as a barometer of how well we are doing.
Different Strokes for . . .
We know each of you has different areas you like best.
Some of you like rifles, others love pistols, some like
building and customizing, still others like ‘smithing and
shooting and so on. Me, well, you already know I’m more of
a handgun guy and also love old guns with a connection to
history. Then, of course, everybody loves machine guns. That
is, at least everyone who has had a chance to shoot one!
Why did I bring this up?
There are a couple reasons. First, I want to let you know we
actually care about what you think. Second, I want you to
know we try to feature a variety of types of guns and other
subjects so that no matter what your favorites are, there’s
something there for you. I use my own personal experience
subscribing to many different magazines to guide me.
Whether the magazine is about planes and flying or toy
trains, there is rarely an issue in which every article is about
my favorite topics. But every issue has something that I am
interested in and I know that soon my favorite topics will be
the feature again!
Build a better mousetrap and . . .
I use those varying areas of interest as a guideline when I
plan the content of each issue, trying to make sure there is
something in it for the rifle guys, shotgun guys, pistol guys,
etc. The other thing I have found is when one of my
subscriptions features something I am not as interested in
or familiar with, I learn more about it and sometimes it
becomes a new passion. Thankfully, among the decision
makers at GunTech there is a varied mix of likes and
dislikes. Each of us has our favorites and it helps us keep
diversity in GunTech. As always, contact us to let us know
what you like and dislike.
Out with the old . . .
Before we throw out the old year and focus on the here and
now in the new one, I want to take time to reflect on 2013. It
was a year that was peppered with disasters, yet we saw
people come together and rise to the occasion to help
others in need. For that I am thankful. But upon seeing the
list of those who passed this last year, I stopped to give
pause, to remember and thank those who touched my life
and changed our world.
Gone but not forgotten . . .
Roger Ebert, Lou Reed, James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith,
Jean Stapleton, George Jones, Annette Funicello,
Dennis Farina, Jonathon Winters, Bonnie Franklin,
Elmore Leonard, Joan Fontaine, Peter O’Toole, Julie Harris,
Karen Black, Ray Harryhausen, Tom Clancy, Patti Page,
Conrad Bain, Pauline Phillips (dear Abby), Cleotha Staples,
Van Cliburn, Phil Ramone, Pat Summerall, Richie Havens,
Dr. Joyce Brothers, Ray Manzarek, Esther Williams, Slim
Whitman, Helen Thomas, Michael Ansara, Lisa Robin Kelly,
Sid Bernstein, David Frost, Ray Dolby (Dolby Labs),
Hal Needham, Marcia Wallace, Nelson Mandela and
Ray Price to name a few. I knew a year like this was coming,
so many greats to pass at one time! Thankfully their
contributions live on in print, on film, in song and . . .
in us. Wow . . .

Step-By-Step Reloading: Parts 8 & 9
By Roy Hill, Brownells/Sinclair Copywriter. Reprinted by permission of Sinclair International
Part 8 - Seating Primers
Earlier, we
looked at
primer
pocket
uniforming
as a crucial
step in
brass
preparation,
Sinclair Priming Tool with Primers & Cases
part of this
on-going series covering the steps of reloading. Along the
way, we’ve also explored choosing the right cases, deburring
the flash holes, trimming the cases and lubricating them,
then sizing them. Now it’s time to reap the benefits of our
careful primer pocket uniforming, as we seat primers into
our cases. There are at least three different kinds of primer
seating tools you can use, and each of them offers specific
benefits and challenges.
Hand Priming Tools
Many precision
reloaders really prefer to
use hand priming tools.
The biggest reason folks
turn to high-quality
implements like the
Sinclair Priming Tool
(#749-007-603) is the
superior "feel" they
provide.
RCBS Auto Priming Tool
One popular model of bench-mounted tool is the Forster
Co-Ax Primer Seater (#749-006-946). It gives very good feel
along with fast operation. Another is the RCBS Auto Priming
Tool (#749-007-452). These tools use primer feed-tubes that
allow you to load up many primers at once, and then
continuously cycle cases through. Bench-mounted tools
give you greater priming speed and volume, but they still
retain most of the “feel” of hand tools.
RCBS Auto Priming Tool
When you use them, you can actually feel when the primer
enters the pocket and when it bottoms out. This extreme
sensitivity helps you achieve a high level of consistency in
primer seating depth - and consistency is one of the biggest
factors in loading ammo for precision shooting. If you want
to know a whole lot more about this tool, read our Illustrated
Guide To The Sinclair Priming Tool.
The Sinclair Priming Tool holds only one primer at a time,
which helps make it a high-precision tool, but not
necessarily fast to use. One way to speed up the process a
little, but still get a fairly high level of precision, is to use a
hand primer with a primer tray, like the RCBS Universal
Hand Priming Tool (#100-010-299) or the Lee Auto Prime
Hand Priming Tool (#749-002-612). This style tool allows you
to put 100+ primers into a tray that automatically orients
them right side up and feeds them into the tool, but you can
still verify that each and every primer seats exactly like you
want it.
8
Bench-Mounted Priming Tools
Bench-mounted priming
tools give pretty good
“feel” for primer seating,
but offer the benefit of
extra leverage for
almost-effortless
priming. If you’re priming
so many cases that you
could wear out your
fingers with a hand tool,
a bench-mounted tool
might be the way to go.
Another plus is that once
it’s attached to your
bench, it’s not going
anywhere. It’s very
difficult to misplace or lose
a bench-mounted priming tool!
RCBS

Prime
Press-Mounted Priming Tools
A press-mounted priming tool attaches directly
to your reloading press. There are many types
of these priming tools, and they can help to
really speed up the reloading process.
RCBS offers the Auto Prime (#100-010-234)
attachment for its popular Rock
Chucker Supreme press
(#749-007-994). This attachment lets you
quickly prime cases right in your press,
feeding from a primer tube.
The place where press-mounted priming
tools really shine is on a multi-stage or
progressive press. Most progressive presses
have some sort of automatic priming system
built in. All you have to do is load up the
tube with primers, and you’re off. One
popular press that has a priming option is the
Redding T-7 Turret Reloading Press (#749-008-321).
While press-mounted priming tools offer high speed, they’re
lacking in the “feel” department. Many times, the priming
stroke is incorporated into the same lever stroke that
operates the entire press. With all that extra leverage, it’s
just not possible to get the same sensitivity that a hand tool
or bench-mounted tool gives. Press-mounted priming tools
are great for high-volume reloading, like making handgun
ammo.
Indispensable Accessories
No matter which method best suits
your reloading style, there are a few
accessories you’ll want to add to help
you handle primers effectively. Primer
flip trays (#749-000-903) are a must.
They’ll help you orient primers the same
direction with just a little gentle shaking,

them. Primer strips are another great way to
keep smaller numbers of primers handy for use. If you plan
to store your handloads for long term, a primer sealer
(#105-000-110) is a great way to ensure they’ll ignite
reliably, no matter what kind of weather or conditions they
are subjected to.
A primed case
Primer seating is the very first step in
reintroducing components into a brass
case. There are many tools to choose from,
depending on your reloading goals and
needs. The next step in the process is
adding powder to the case. We’ll look at
that in detail next.
Part 9 - Handling Powders
In Part 8 we completed the priming process by looking at
the various tools and techniques reloaders use to seat
primers into cases. The next step in making precise reloads
is charging the primed cases with carefully-measured powder. While the perfect powder charge is the goal, there are
many different tools and techniques that can get you there.
Tricklers
A very basic tool for achieving the perfect powder charge is
a trickler. Powder tricklers are simple machines that typically
use an internally-threaded tube to move small amounts of
powder – sometimes as little as one or two kernels at a time
– into a scale pan until a precise powder weight is achieved.
Tricklers are usually inexpensive and very reliable, and they
provide maximum control over how much powder trickles
into the pan. However, many of them are manually-operated,
and if you are reloading more than just a few cases at a
time, they
may be

tiring and time-consuming to use.
There are electronic tricklers that

button - no more turning the knob

than speed.
Trickler and its control unit.
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Quick Trickle combines a powder
measure with a trickler, and features two hand wheels. The
large wheel operates like a powder measure and throws a
large amount of powder, while the small wheel gives you the
fine control of a traditional trickler, letting you finish off the
charge precisely, down to 1/10 of a grain.
Manual Powder Measures
Many precision reloaders still prefer the
feel and accuracy of manual powder
measures, like the Harrell Powder
Measure. With precision-made internals
and double roller bearing construction,
the Harrell measure is extraordinarily
accurate, repeatable, and downright
pleasurable to use. With this type of
powder measure, you merely dial in the
charge you want, verify it with a good,
quality scale, and the tool will consistently
throw that size charge by volume, over
and over again. These types of measures
can dispense the powder into a scale pan,
or directly into a case held

manual dispensing system.
Not as expensive as the Harrell measures, but still accurate
and precise are manual measures like the RCBS
Competition Measure and the Redding 3BR Measure. They
work much the same and offer various features.
Electronic Dispenser Systems
Digital powder dispenser systems are high tech when it
comes to handling powder. They digitally weigh and
dispense charges for almost any cartridge, and the controls
let you simply punch in your load data. Many such systems
are programmable and will store several different loads in
memory, ready for instant recall. They often have digital
scales built in, and it's a simple matter of pushing a button,
verifying the readout on the digital scale, and then pouring
the powder into the case. Electronic dispensers can be
pricey, but they offer a lot of convenience, accuracy, and
time savings - which can translate into more trigger time at
the range for you.
Scales
No matter what tool you choose to move your powder, you
will need some sort of a scale to weigh it to verify that your
charges are accurate. The most basic, reliable type of scale

In 1919, Oscar founded O.F. Mossberg and came out with a
little four-barreled pistol called "the Brownie." From 1919 to
1932, they manufactured over 32,000 Brownies. The gun has
a rotating firing pin and a double action trigger pull.
Through the success of the Brownie, Mossberg moved
operations to New Haven, Connecticut. In 1922, the
company came out with a series of hammerless .22 rifles.
Oscar and his two sons, Iver and Harold, turned the
company into one of the most successful firearms
manufacturers in America. During World War II, Mossberg
devoted 100% of their resources and efforts to the War.
In the 1960s, the company shifted their marketing and goals
to include law enforcement, hunting, and marksmanship.
Mossberg continues to produce quality firearms, many of
which are used by the U.S. Military. The company even has
a "Zombie Gun" for those really bad days.

Oscar F. Mossberg was
an inventor from
Sweden. He moved to
the United States in
1886 and settled in
Massachusetts. Oscar
ended up working for
Iver-Johnson Arms and
Cycle Works. It was there
he showed his
handgun design skills.
While working for
Iver-Johnson, Mossberg
learned a lot about the
industry and honed his
skills as a designer. He went
on to work as the factory
manager for the Shattuck

Oscar also worked for
Stevens Arms for 14 years
before starting his own
company.

America loves Duck Dynasty and so does Mossberg. The
company and the Robertson family got together and are
coming out with the Duck Commander Series of firearms.
The guns look good with their Realtree Max-5 finish.
Many people only think of Mossberg when it comes to
shotguns. Though they make many fine shotguns, you
should take a look at their auto loaders, rimfires, or lever
and bolt action rifles. They even have a tactical looking lever
action rifle with a 6-position
synthetic stock.
One of my favorite home defense
guns is a Mossberg 500 pump
shotgun. One has a pistol grip and
is my stealth gun that lives
upstairs. The gun that ends up in
use when things go bump in the
night is a 500 that was worked
on by Vang Comp Systems in
Arizona.
If you don't know who
Hans Vang is, look him up.
The shotgun’s barrel and
magazine tube were
parkerized and look slick. The
barrel it came back with was
an 18.5" ported barrel with a
tritium front sight that is
silver soldered to the barrel.
At the rear is a Vang Comp

ghost ring rear sight, fully adjustable for both
windage and elevation. The porting on the barrel
allows you to get back on the target quickly for
follow up shots as it reduces muzzle rise by
about 90%.
Besides the compensating ports, a Vang Comp
barrel is back-bored and the forcing cone is
lengthened, which allows the pellets to move with
less deformation from the chamber to the bore.
All of these modifications improve accuracy and
the felt recoil is greatly reduced. I have recently
been able to shoot the shotgun in the dark and the
muzzle flash is reduced by about 50% as well.

Another choice is one of the many models of electronic or

require a power source – either batteries or 110 volt wall
current (220 volt models are available for Europe). Because
of their compact size, many digital scales may also be
purchased in complete kits with powder dispensers.

A simple funnel is one of the best
ways to transfer a precisely
measured powder charge into the case.
Funnels & Drop Tubes
One method for making sure
all the powder gets into the
case mouth is to use a funnel.
Some funnels, such as Satern
Powder Funnels, are designed
to fit over the cartridge mouth
and are caliber-specific. There
are also scale pans with builtin “funnel-like” pour spouts so
you can pour directly into a
case or funnel after verifying
the charge is correct. The
Forster Powder Funnel accommodates 22 to 45 caliber cartridges with a belled mouth
and has a built-in drop tube.
Drop tubes are especially beneficial
for the reloader who is attempting
to drop more powder into the case
than what the case appears to hold.
By increasing the drop distance and
slowing the rate of speed at which
the powder enters the case, you can Drop tubes help you get the

your cases. The drop allows the kernels to align more uniformly inside the case, compared to
pouring the powder into the case from a pan, and it helps
the powder make the most efficient use of space. A great
tool for accuracy enthusiasts looking to find the perfect
load, drop tubes are available in various lengths and
diameters and attach to most powder measures as well.
As you can see, there are different ways to carefully meter
and weigh the powder, and then transfer that powder into
the waiting primed case. Once you decide which method
works best for the type of reloading you do and your
budget, you'll be able to choose the best tools for yourself.
Next we'll be looking at bullet seating.

Jack's Corner Continued . . .
Producer's Cut Continued . . .
In any event several of my offspring have decided they don’t
need the ongoing, time wasting drama and have closed their
“Social Media” accounts. I have to admit I have never even
logged on to one and really don’t know what a “wall” looks
like. And don’t care.
“I took the road less traveled and” . . .
Just a quick mention that when I worked at Ampex
Corporation (the inventors of videotape recording), I worked
with Dale Dolby, Ray’s brother. They were both engineers at
Ampex until one day when Ray approached the higher-ups
with his idea for noise reduction for audiotape. You see, we
all had to sign a paper that stated that any idea we came up
with while we worked there was the property of Ampex . . .
unless they weren’t interested in it, which they weren't.
OK, that’s off my chest, now on to more important things,
like guns. I’m involved in a long term, ongoing project to
build a pair of ARs (different uppers) for Mz. Jeanne and
Sgt. Justin on one of the Florida Arms lowers that they
bought from AGI a few years ago when Gene K. found a
“One Time Only Good Deal" on them.
Got a pair of upper receivers, and a lower parts kit, and just
found a “One Time Only Good Deal" on US made Mil Spec

Apparently they had ~500 of them as of 1/7, and I ordered
one. They are normally $150, so this is a great buy. I ordered
one and will report on it in GunTech, but you may want to
see if they are still available. If nothing else, you can certainly sell them at your next Gun Show at a 50% mark-up. I
have no financial interest, it just seems to be such a great
deal I thought I’d share it. Just because my brother-in-law
owns . . . I’m sorry, not true, just kidding. Now, just a pair of
barrels and forends, a stock, etc., some CeraKote, and they’ll
be ready to spread joy on their own. Watch out you attacking herds of raccoons and ground squirrels, retribution is at
hand!
The reason for the two different uppers is that Mz. Jeanne
really wants a pink one with a heavy varmint barrel, and Sgt.
Justin, while undoubtedly secure in his own manhood,
would really rather have a Coyote Tan, M4 upper. Go figure.
I’ve gotten so used to shooting the ladies’ pink and lavender
guns that I’m starting to think about accessorizing and color
coordinating. Really.

shooting, and introduce someone new to each,

Let’s just say that for Ray (and the rest of the world) that
made all the difference. He left Ampex, idea in hand and
went on to create Dolby Noise Reduction AND Surround
Sound for movie theaters among other things.
And remember “PONG” (the world’s FIRST video game)? It
was also the creation of an Ampex engineer and not of
interest to the higher-ups. He left the company to found
Atari Corporation (need I say more)! Thought you’d find
those things interesting.
uh oh… here it comes!
Since NYE is not yet here, it remains to be seen just how I
will spend it (oh… yes Jack, Suzy agrees it is boring to sit
together and watch TV on NYE) . . . but I do have great
plans for New Year’s Day! Since there is no family
celebration on the table, Suzy and I will be participating in a
New Year’s Day drive with members of the Fiat club! It starts
at noon and we will embark on the winding mountain roads
between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. I can’t wait to get
out and stretch the Abarth’s legs with fellow car
enthusiasts!
. . . and days of Auld Lang Syne.
By the time you read this NYE will be long past. I hope you
had a great one with friends and family and didn’t make any
New Year’s resolutions you don’t plan on keeping!
The only thing I can tell you about my NYE celebration is
that if I am at home, I am going to light off some fireworks,
even if it is only Suzy and me! Happy New Year my fellow
GCA members! I look forward (as always!) to seeing you
next month and each and every other month . . .

Congratulations to the 30 of you who took the time to email me an answer to this month’s
question. 29 were correct that the part is the link, or bolt connector, that pushes the plunger
that compresses the recoil spring in Remington 1100s and 1187s. These folks are eligible for
the $20 “Dang, you’re smart!” AGI credit bonus. Mr. Kelly will be back at the wailing wall since
that is 46 smart guys in two months. Ouch, Sir! We have a couple of first time winners.
Last month's winners are shown below.

OK, this month’s part is really common, almost as common as last month’s Remington link. However, it
is from a gun that far fewer of our members own or see on a regular basis in person. It is actually two
parts, I want to know what both are. I will accept their function as the answer. Those of you who
know the gun it goes to and its maker will raid the treasury for an additional $20.
You can Call me with the answer ONLY if:
1. You do not have email access.
2. You call (800) 797-0867, ext.104 between 0800 - 1700 PST M-F.

of the Month Winner . . .
We have a winner!
Eagle Eye Doug Toskin was certainly on his game this month
when he caught John Bush in not one, but two, ”erroneous”
statements. He was most apologetic for picking on such a
nice man. Welcome aboard John. John said that the .22 Tula
rifle’s sights were marked in hundred “yards”, instead of
meters. Also John said the Egyptian Hakim .22s lettering
was in Farsi (Persian), not the Arabic that the Egyptians
speak, read, and write.
Jack is not quite, perfect this month, and Ken and Keith . . .
well, seriously?? Who’s the mean person who’s going to pick on
Mr. Nice Guy, John Bush, again this month? As I said, Gene,
Bob, Darrell and Mz. Lenée are normally exempted from the
ignominy they and AGI/GCA would suffer in the
extraordinarily miniscule possibility that they would actually err. Good luck to all of you in your search this month. Remember, it’s
worth $40 to catch one of us, at least if I agree. Remember we’re not talking opinions here, opinions are like noses, everyone is
entitled to one. By “Dumb Statement” we mean a real, unnoticed and uncorrected erroneous statement, i.e. saying hammer
instead of striker, Colt instead of Smith & Wesson, D/R instead of Bench & Field. Don’t despair, keep looking and listening. 15
