You can mail order Templac from Mcmaster-Carr in all the tepmperature ranges. If your brass is Federal it will never reach the point that it needs neck annealed. If you shoot normal velocities with...

I had the SHOT show model 71 in my hands today and it does not have the rebounding hammer or the tang safety. It does have the half cock safety. It also has the nub of the safety on the tang but I...

Have a BIL who worked for a battery company. It was a tough way to make a living.
