    Exclamation Wanted .45 ACP parts and reloading supplies (PA)

    Got my first semi-auto today, a Rock Island Armory 1911 .45 ACP....and now I need to find some reloading supplies and gun parts to be able to enjoy it. Hoping you have something to help a 'new owner' get started. But at the moment I'm tapped out....can you help with anything....used, spares, not wanted ? Trades possible.

    I will need:
    > a 4 die reloading set, with taper crimp-er, in .45 ACP, Lee carbide dies OK.
    > once fired brass, mixed OK, no aluminum's, can't reload those.
    > .451" jacketed bullets, or .452" lead SWC bullets.
    > 18 1/2 # recoil spring, or 20#, or 14-15#.
    > grips, something in checkered wood.
    > rear sight that will tap into GI slot, something that can help me 'see' the
    target, a matching front with some color would help too.
    > BTW, I'd like to try some Kroil, and Flitz.

    Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with those RIAs....if that front sight is staked on, you'll need a gunsmith to install the new one. If it has that tiny nub of a front sight that mil-spec 1911s usually do, don't install a rear sight that's a different height than the one that's on it now or you'll throw your point of impact off
    There are three kinds of people in this world....them what's good at math and them what ain't.

    You don't really need Kroil or Flitz.

    For lead you have Mastercast right next door in Enon Valley.

    If you need help I'm in New Castle.
