cash or trades available

very over priced for what they are

all you need is a round tobbaco tin, a brass shot gun cartrige end and a flat headed screw

iv seen them on American websites for 10 to 20 dollars but now you've given me that great idea im gonna give it a try when im back home

Thanks mate

 

[Corso]

if you use a flat headed bolt rather than a screw you can take the candle holder off and use the tin for charcloth too

Genius!!!..

cant realy take the credit - a chap called spork knocked one up a while back and put pictures up on the BCUSA forum

If you can get 2 lids then when you add the shotgun cartridge holder fasten it to the underside of one lid with the lids back to back you can then reverse it for storage - just a thought.

I assume you have seen the ones on eBay?

that looks great

I still haven't managed to find long enough brass I'm hoping I will at W&P

 

[mereside]

how long do you need the brass bud, i have a few cases as i reload for my shotgun.
the brass i use is 20mm long if thats any good i can send you some just pm your address ,
ps i can deprime for you so you can solder the brass through primer pocket or just use a countersunk bolt,atb wayne
