Me too. That pipe is badass. You know, just looking at the pipe and hatchet you might have opened a Leprechaun's package by mistake. :D

Haha. It is pretty cool. Son got it for me. Been wanting one for awhile now. The idea, is that the smoke will be cool by the time it travels up the long stem. We'll see...

Came in a sleeved display box:

The bastard went and improved on the one I have. The BB is sleeker and lighter now. No bottom seam so it can't leak. Damn his innovations! Now, I want the newer one. :p
 
Has anyone heard from Greybush? I am trying to get ahold of him but he hasn't responded to the pm I sent him. Any suggestions?

Gf got me an ultrasonic cleaner for Xmas. I just ran 50 pieces of 223 brass in it for 16 minutes and they are perfectly clean, including the primer pockets. I used a mixture of 2/3 water, 1/3 white vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap.
 
Considering the new sitation, this ended up being a good Christmas. Me, my folks, and my kids had a good dinner/present opening on Christmas Eve, and then the kids had a good present opening Christmas Day at their mom's. It was different and strange, but not bad.

And now I got $100 worth of Amazon gift cards, and I'm lookin' at KA-BARs. Always wanted their Kuhkri, but now that I don't have the mountain place I don't really need a big chopper. Maybe a Mule and a BK-16, or maybe a BK-16 and a BK-14, or maybe a...

No media needed, just water and solvent? I run my tumbler with walnut and Flitz for 6-8 hours. Then it's a dusty mess when I separate it from the media.

Yup. You put your brass in a basket and then put that into the unit that already has the solution already in it and turn it on. It sends ultrasonic waves through the solution that helps break up the the carbon. A few rinses and some drying time and you're good to go. The brass isn't nice and polished like from a tumbler buts its nice and clean. I might tumble for an hour or something just cuz I like pretty brass.

I added the breech plug from my muzzleloader in with the 223 brass and it came out nice and clean too.

Just dumped over 350 dollars on replacement hard top glass (and other related parts) for my Jeep (Sandy blew it so hard the windows busted out and its been a WIP ever since) and pulled the trigger on the king and a 14 (with scales) my wallet is still smoking but at least I have my Becker fix and the ability to winterize my Jeep :D

I'll have to get some when I run some more through it to get some before and after pics. I'm off tomorrow and Friday, so I'll try get some then. I'm not sure if she got me the best one meant for reloading, but this one seems to work pretty good. Its a Lyman and I've read that you can get it elsewhere without the Lyman brand on it for cheaper.

I just ordered a 14 and a set of scales the other day too. I was ordering a 17, so I decided to finally get the 14 while I was making my order.

:D I was thinking, my B-day is at the end of January and I'd love something that could do my brass that fast and without all the dust.
