New primed hulls go for $2.00 a pop, when you buy a bag of 100.
Then you need to run them through a swaging die because the only hulls you can buy other than custom brass hulls are made for industrial kiln shells and they have an extra ring of brass at the base. I don't have a reloading press customized yet so I have to roll crimp them with a bit and drill press. A lot of work but a lot of fun.

Fun thread, Laughing, Hi my name is....yep, just a bit....laughing. It's only a problem (addiction) if you're trying to quit...I don't have a problem....still laughing.
Can't seem to walk past O/U's with Double Triggers these days, or a decent pump, add an English stock and I go goofy.
Romac, enviable, I'll bet that #14 swings pretty smoothly... reason I shoot/hunt w/a 10ga....they don't make or allow me to use an 8 (anymore).... |

Last count I'm down to 6 - 10 gauge shotguns. 3 Semi's and 3 SXS's. I like them too. Having 3 sons justifies buying more than you need for yourself! LOL
Remington SP10
Browning Gold 10
Ithaca Mag 10
W&C Scott 10 (SXS Hammer Damascus)
Stoeger Zephyr SXS 10 (Sarasqueta)
Francotte model 25 10 SXS |

Lordy....I'm a piker compared to some of you guys.
Lately, I've lost track (just a little). I'm somewhere in the low 20s (for everything, shotguns, rifles, & pistols). Practicing diversity & inclusion here. |

Re: Charles Daly. I asked the gentleman who told me about the Daly whether it was a Prussian Daly or something else. Explained to him Daly had imported from a lot of different makers over the years. Most of them are of little interest to me. Prussian Dalys, OTOH, could be trouble.
So far, I've been successful at keeping things under control. Went to a gun show recently.
Passed on a very interesting Parker VH - 1924 production, 12 ga, #2 frame, tight and good bores, original English stock, 32 inch barrels and asking way less than I would have expected. Especially given the barrel length.
Passed on a very nice Philly Sterlingworth - 12 ga, 28 inch, a little original case color left and even less than the Parker.
Passed on a Lefever Nitro Special, 20 ga, deft in the hands and mirror bores, $500 ask. And I had over $500 in my pocket.
A couple weeks ago, passed on a 12 ga Wilkes-Barre B grade, blued over damascus, loose and overpriced at $450. Needed work and I'm not into buying projects. But it was only the second Wilkes-Barre I've ever seen.... I know the dealer. |

I keep looking at the Miroku Charles Daly's as they are very nice looking guns.
(Looking to look, not looking to buy, I enjoy cool guns as art work). When Browning acquired sole license to sell the Miroku based gun in the US, the relationship went away.
Currently there are a 28 and a .410 on GunsInternational, just showed up.
What I have not been able to find out, is if Miroku made any 16's back then and if Charles Daly had imported them if they did. |

You do have a problem. at least two. No A.H. Fox and no Parker. the Parker
r is less of a problem but you really need a fox or two. |

Umm, no.
I have a B grade Baltimore Arms 12 ga sxs, 26 inch damascus barrels. A.H Fox was a major partner in Baltimore Arms before moving on after its failure to Philly to found The Sterlingworth Company, later becoming Fox guns.
I also have a 20 ga Parker Trojan.
What I don't have are guns by LC Smith, Dan Lefever and Ithaca. No real desire . With no disrespect to anyone else or their choices, LC's I see have incipient or actual stock problems. The Lefevers I come across have largely been used up. The same goes for the Ithacas, though I don't see many of those. |
