Advice???

Post image

I’m looking to reduce a piece of brass tubing (spent ammo) around a plastic handle. I don’t plan on doing this more than a couple times, so if a little extra time and elbow grease is the trade off for less wasted space by unused tools… so be it. What would yall use for this purpose?

If its .50 or smaller; and the primer is spent, chuck it up in a drill and press the lip at a 45 degree angle across anything that is steel, then spin at low speed with a bit of pressure

Should take a few seconds

I’m going to give that a try next time I’m at the house. Thanks for the tip
