wrecker388 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Collect your brass, even if you don't plan to reload it. I was looking in my dad's "junk" bucket and noticed that many of them could be used for different model related things.A few ideas I had were: Velocity Stacks Moon tanks Welding Tanks Transmission Tunnels Headlight Buckets Taillight Buckets Compressors for Lowriders Mirrors (i'll explain if needed) And much more. Please don't turn this tip into a political battle, because we ALL know how the Mods feel about that.

Nick Winter Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I actually got to thinking about that the other day, found a bunch of my .22 and .30-30 casings in my hunting coat pockets (I pickup what I shoot when I target practice). Still haven't figured out what I'll do with them just yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've actually used 22 shells for exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooterville75 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Keep your brass period if you shoot because ammunition is hard to get period these days. Aunt and Uncle own a sporting goods store and cant get any 22 or 9MM shells period not to mention any 223 or 5.6. Theres actually a waiting list for the 223's and 5.6's. Rifle ammo they had to start stocking now and getting all they can get to put back to be able to have stock during rifle season. Its getting horriable to find ammunition. Great point about the potential ways to use brass in the hobby though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiliers Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I actually used the shot out of a 12ga bird shot shell for weight in the back of my 64 impala so if I make it all roll to the back corner the car sits up on the three wheel motion and if I make it all roll toward the front it just looks like the front is up in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They make handy Disk Cutters or Hole Punch's. Either drill a hole in Rimfire cases or pop the Primer from Centerfire Cases so you can clear out the punched disk. Here's some common sizes converted to 1/25 use. .17 = 4.25" .22 = 5.5" .243" or 6mm = 6" .270" = 6.75" .30" = 7.5" .32 = 8" .38, .380, .357 and 9mm Para = ~9" after cleanup .40 = 10" .45 = 11" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
