Happy summer season! I’ve just received a few very interesting pieces of Auto Mag “stuff” from Kent Lomont! Number one, he is the most knowledgeable, quick witted and interesting guy I have ever spoken with. He knows and lived many aspects of life; and he immensely enjoys anything guns, or shooting. What a fantastic chapter he and Lee Jurras will occupy in Volume II of my historic novel. As you know, Kent produced many Auto Mag barrels in varied lengths and calibers. He was able to document many of these creations through a number of letters between him and Don Lane, a very good customer of Kent’s. I was fortunate enough to fall heir to Kent’s incredible holster collection. I’ll show a couple of them to you, some are huge! Along with some great ballistic data and production numbers of barrels and ammo, he sent a “load” of letters and other pertinent paper work from the Auto Mag era. One of the neat things he came up with was a few boxes of SuperVel .358 bullets in 137 gr., a weight seemingly only used in Auto Mag .357 ammo. He also had many different Auto Mag loading dies in all five Auto Mag calibers. Can you name them? These completed my AM die collection except for the Eagle brand. Does anyone out there own a set of AM Eagle dies that he or she would sell? Please let me know! Well, I’ll be signing off. Enjoy the summer. You’re bold servant, Bert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
