Removing empty casings from NAA revolvers

fredg · December-01-14 14:12

Saw this and couldn't help but think how cool this would be to use for my NAA Mini-Mag! Sandy should make these branded with the NAA logo! If the price was kept down as it is for this one, I bet it would be a big seller!

This is for loading a unique 1911 that shoots .357 magnums, the pin could push out empties on the NAA and the tube holds ear plugs.

That is a great idea. Thanks...now to raid the scrap bin.

Could hold 3 maybe 4 extra rounds. A little fatter and it could be a 5round mini speed loader with cover/key fob. Brain storming time! Must be coming out of the turkey coma.

Search Google Images for "small aluminum case with key ring" and see all the results!! Might be one big enough for the speed loader or extra rounds!

The cap would be the speed loader clip. This might be fun.

Now THAT would be cool! Haven't found one bigger than 2 inches long x 0.67 inch diameter so far... don't think it would be large enough in diameter.

Search eBay for: aluminum capsule key chain

The cannister can also be a lighter:

Old style film can for L.R.? Or cigar tube ,cut and solder to length? Dry tube for matches? Flash light tube,rewire it to use less batteries, end is loader? Too bad Taxi is gone he could draw it up for us.

Even more cool but probably too long and heavy--- As kids we would pick up spent 20mm bullets and casings all over the Mojave desert .(The J is a H sound). From WW2 target practice for fighter planes. The bullets are empty and the tip unscrews making a cool container.

Cylinder pin works for me. That way when I put the cylinder back in the frame I will probably still have kept track of the cylinder pin, instead of getting all fuzzy over a doodad. Just a thought..

Just beat me to it. I was going to say a solution in search of a problem.

NAA cylinder shaft pin isn't that what they are designed for ? All pins that remove or stick out are for that very purpose but who am I to stand in the way of having more junk .

I don't use ear plugs.

I just turn off my hearing aids......

His lips are in Spanish so it is no wonder that you can't read them......

I read a post here awhile back where a guy blunted the end of a small screwdriver to use as a tool to remove empties since he did not want to bang up his cylinder shaft pin. That is what I had in mind when posting this... I will see if I can find that thread...

Between brass and stainless steel , stainless will outlive the brass on all fronts . Besides with all this unloading problem something is not right to begin with . Normal ammo is not suppose to hang up that tight , so ammo is too heavy for the gun or the cylinder is not per specs . So many people with guns have no clue to just what they have in their hands or how to use it , sorry but it is as simple as that .

If nothing else people really do abuse these little guns and push them beyond their natural abilities especially with these hot rifle rounds that are called magnums .

Various deviation from a norm are standard in mfg. processes. I have shot the same ammunition in my naa's and had 1 of the rounds that was tight in the cylinder. Common...maybe not, but a tool like this sure would be handy in a range bag.

That pin looks perfect for putting a hole in your pocket.

I can't remember using the retaining pin, but it might work.
I just used a short cleaning rod.

If you want a pin, I would design on to slide into the grip. Drill the inside of a grip. (remove I first, use a block to hold it.)

Boxes or memory card boxes for holding 5 rounds would be flatter in your pocket.
