vintage powder actuated tools

[MoboMac]

Anybody here fooling around with these?

My interest is in the standard ...or high velocity type....

Ramset...Omark.....Winchester.......Speed.....etc.

Not the tools, but I have used the blank cartridges in my reloadable rimfire cases for antique rifles. Here is an example - .32 Extra Long Rimfire for use in a #2 Remington rolling block rifle.

Interesting....

Are the blanks available new......or is that a find them where you can deal?

The blanks with powder (Ramset, etc) I just buy at Home Depot. The cartridge cases they go into I modify from existing centerfire cases.
