I thought I recognized the background, but the bird died I think. The fabric is getting tattered on the rest of it. Let us know if you find out for sure what the magazine is.

I can't see the pictures. Any ideas?

WOW! I just got my new-to-me Fed Labs Launcher a couple of days ago. Today I loaded my first ammo for it. I took six 5" cases and deprimed them, and added primers. The first one I just shot as a primer. Then the next one had a quarter teaspoon of powder and a wad. I LAUGHED OUT LOUD! What a hoot! I don't need no stinking guns... I need BLACK POWDER SMOKE! So, I shot the third one and then loaded 3 more and let my DAV Son shoot them. This is me after that first cloud of white smoke. http://thatcrazytattooedbaldbroad.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/cute_baboon-7665.png Now I must make some tools for reloading. A punch and hammer and pipe fitting worked for now, but I really don't like driving 209 primers into the cases with a hammer. I looked at my one ton arbor press and am drawing up some tools for it. I've seen the commercial one, but I have better ideas. I'll be able to load LONG cases and any size 37mm, including depriming and priming as well as removing the crimp from those crimped cases.

Just a note that may help someone... Google's patent search is one of the best I've found. It is very comprehensive and displays the patents by section and allows download as a PDF file. Good stuff. I've done a lot of patent research over the years and haven't found anything else that comes close. For example, 2422853 from the above post... https://www.google.com/patents/US2422853?pg=PA1&dq=2422853&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jtzIUZjDKIKbiAKCs4HoAw&ved=0CD8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=2422853&f=false

David, Here's the link to the thread at Weaponsguild. Hopefully we can get a template for this sign. http://www.weaponsguild.com/forum/index.php?topic=41624.0

I realize that this is an old thread, but I do have something to offer. I just purchased the launcher that kozzy pictured above. In the process of looking for info on the Fed Labs launchers, I found this site, then this thread and now the manual pictured above. It is from scribd and is a public domain document. If there is interest, I can upload it or link to it on scribd, or both.
