I think that turned out nice... I'd really like to add a trap door to my collection... I have an old ratty Enfield Martini in 5070, that I shoot mild smokeless loads in... I'd probably part with some of my old balloon head cases, if you guys thought they might be useable ( some were shot, not by me, & not rinsed after with water, so some may be pitted beyond use... but since I only shoot smokeless, the balloon head cases are just taking up space in my 50-70 stuff

interesting thinking, if a guy would have known what this stuff would be selling for, & how volatile those 401K's were going to be, i'd have done some heavy investing in brass
