    Vintage Equipment

    Any of you guys into vintage stuff ?
    I got all this shit on ebay for around $50.00 each.



    this I got for 20 bucks



    this funky old scale from the 40's for 18 bucks.Its so sensitive,you can weigh a piece of paper,then scribble on the paper,weigh it again
    and it will show a difference.

    Niiiiice ! Love seeing old stuff back in use.

    My poison is old woodworking tools. Got some old Record router and combo planes back into service, and have several Diston saws.

    Come to think of it, my Husky chainsaws could probably be classed as vintage as well :-)

    The Remmy 788 I hunt with is '69 if I remember correctly...

    Oh, and busy working on a '81 Suzuki mudbug

    Um, hello my name is ebf and I collect old stuff

    That's some pretty cool vintage loading gear you have there Nevada. Made to last and still looks in pretty good nick for its age. Retro Reloading!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    That's cool, In my industry its all the old stuff that is actually good quality and as long as its been looked after is far superior to new built to a price shit.
    See no reason why it would be any different with reloading gear.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Nice gear Nevada

    And bloody good bargins any tight arse would be proud to display.

    My oldest press is a Lyman Tspar from the 70s' and my trusty Lee Classic press I bought 30 years ago.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Another thing about the vintage stuff is,you will always get every penny of yer money back if you sell it.
    I got a Ohaus 1010 scale for 60 dollars.The same RCBS scale new is 200 and made in shithole Mexico.
    At one time I won auctions I thought I would lose and ended up with 4 scales.Put them back on ebay
    and made a few bucks.I had one RCBS510 that some bogan had messed with the pan weights,but they're easy to sort out.

    I'll kick him in the nuts Spook. That will drop him to his knees and then you can plant one right up his gunga.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I would be careful Toby, those dudes will have old man strength, may think they will be frail but will be a hiding like none other.

    Either that or the worst bit will not be the kick but giving them CPR to revive them after the massive effort.
