Karb, I bought a black iron bluing tank from brownells for $49.97. Its 6 x 6 x 40...big enough to do a 1919 with barrel shroud attached. Park will eat thru a black iron tank if you leave the solution in there. I store my solution in a clean 5 gallon bucket with a lid. It parks the inside of the tank...

1970's and 1990's. We had 75, 77, and 79 for sure go bad. I don't remember what the 1990's dates were.

While I have no personal experience with those years let me ask you this. If they are dumping 1970's ammo that has problems...why whould they be dumping 1990s and 2002 ammo also?

That would be the first I've heard of that. I can tell you none of the stuff we had collected was tumbled by the end user. Just opened up the plastic bags and inserted ammo. OFV 75, 77 and 79 I know for sure were bad.

Unfortunately we lost our knowledge base when we changed forum software about 6 weeks ago. In a nutshell, there have been a lot of reports and pictures of blown primers an...

Well, I can do them whatever way you want, custom even :)

I have about 4 more 1919 cases to knock out and then I'll build a prototype 42 case for myself. Pics will follow.
