Other uses for shell casings......

[Captain Canada]

Hey !

Anybody else use spent casings for little dies ? You use them to punch out round things....different calibres for different sizes.

Just be sure that the primer isn't there !

Bang !

Hi' Toad,
use them all the time and I've even used .22 mag cases for the outside of the 4-shot rocket tubes, just file off the base and fit the front and rear of the 5" rocket inside it.  

All the best

During the BoB my grandad made a model Spitfire from spent shell casings which he melted down.  It is totally awesome.  Sadly when he died my alcoholic uncle  managed to get his hands on it before me        

It would be my most treasured possesion if I had it...

Aside from removing the primers make sure that you clean out the casings properly, as gunpowder residue is poisonous.

Aw, no worries ! Nothing more poisonous than all the paints, primers, putties and glues that we all use !

Sniff, snort, ack !
