HEADS UP!!! I START MY SUMMER SCHEDULE AT MY "REAL SUMMER JOB" (JUNE TO SEPT) AND CAN & WILL BE AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER UP TO 2 WEEKS AT A TIME,  SO GIVE YOURSELF LOTS OF TIME WHEN ORDERING. I SHIP ONCE A WEEK,  TYPICALLY.
 
Thanks for stopping to see us at the GWA event in PA. We plan to be at:  Iola, WI. & Rockford, IL. events and maybe some others as our schedules allow.
 
                           BLANK CARTRIDGES:
Before you start:
- MIL SURPLUS -- Military Surplus ammo & Blanks made from it, can & will contain corrosive componets. Sparying your action (after use) with water followed by spraying with WD-40 (or something similar) until you can clean, may help curb corrosive residue? ALL Blanks are typically nasty dirty, SO clean your piece/ weapon after each use for best results.
