Yeah little bit of work about 1/2 hour good for rifles like lever action where pins are harder to remove, hand guns as well
The local club has 2 now they're thinking of making it a rule that all guns be checked in one before moving around with them from club to car
Most law enforcement buildings have a similar thing like a box where the weapon is placed in and checked before and after use
The club is only small 40-50 members they were tied up with SSAA but I think its private now too much BS they say money was going away from the area
instead of being used to upgrade the range so local farmer loaned the land for a 800yrd range and runs a grader over it once in awhile
I'm not a member but I do shoot there some times also I pay what all the other guys pay probably $2-$3 more for insurance plus $15 per day to shoot
All up about $75 per year + B B Q at end of year
I might use it twice in 3 years clubs are not my thing too many rules although they're there for good reason
Years ago when I did do a bit of shooting with the club we could only shoot on weekends when there wasn't a comp on even though there was plenty of room
for us to do so some times it could be 3weeks before non comp members could shoot so I moved on but now its private I think you can buy a key for $9
and shoot when you like ,this was done because SSAA tried to run it with an iron fist and they ended up loosing 1/2 the members
So the farmer a shooter himself derailed it all pulled rank and made it a private range its still run as a business just a little less hassle

I can remove the firing pin from my mod 70 or Marlin x7 in about one minute. But many take a fair bit longer. One of the reasons my Marlin 30-30 went.

But if your reloading I don't know why you would run all the rounds through the action. I just select a small sample. Say 2 or 3 per box

you don't need to run your cases through your rifle chamber to check them for fit
you can use a case gauge from wilson and have the same results without breaking the law in a populous place or risking an unintentional discharge or having to pull your rifle apart http://www.lewilson.com/casegage.html this shows there is no reason to be doing it at home for fit, case gauges don't cost much and could save you a lot of crap in your life

I'm a little confused. Wouldn't a case that is 'sticky' to feed be sticky to extract on the previous firing?
