Thread: First Time!

I really appreciate the positive feedback from you guys! It definitely was a lemon when I opened the package. There is a good bit of pitting on the blade that I couldn't get rid of without drastic measures. So I left it and didn't go crazy with the polishing. Left it kind of rough. Also the .308 case was a Berdan primed case so I couldn't de-cap it for reloading. I am a brass scrounging fool so that is the only way I would let a .308 case be sacrificed. The blade could probably went about an eighth inch more toward the wedge, but it turned out ok I think. Next one will be better. I promise

Thank God it was Berdan primed, I was really worried!

Here are some close ups of the pin and homemade washers. Not perfect, but got an old razor back in action again.

Great lateral thinking & effort, first time & all

Looks like you got a top little workhorse for your trouble.

Great out of the box thinking and cool save.

Have some rep for great noggin use!
