Brass Bushing for Chargemaster

[Tom Morrison]

Getting ready to make up a bunch of (1000) M14 rounds using Lake City brass, CCI BR2s, H4895 and 168 TMKs.

Using my Chargemaster and the mcDs straw mod, I was still getting too many over throws, so I decided to try making up a bushing as can be found on EBay for sale.





Overall length is about 0.8" with about 0.2" being the outside collar. Bore is 0.25", Collar OD is about 0.39", Internal section has an OD of about 0.32.

A bit of sanding and she slid in with no problem, added a bit of tape to hold it well in place. Did a test run of 60 throws without a single over charge. No noticeable change in the time it takes to meter out the charge as well. Should save a fair bit of time not having to deal with over scales.

Well done! Thanks for the specs, I think I'll give one of those a whirl...

It definitely works got mine when I received my unit and it fixed my issue right away with stick powder

By far one of the best upgrades for CM1500.

Yup, reduces over-throwing charges by at least an order of magnitude from stock configuration, and considerably better than the drinking straw in my opinion.

There was a fellow on Gunnutz,( I think it was Laurencen) or something close to that, that was selling these in the EE.

Laurence is great to deal with - I would highly recommend him.
