I take it you're NOT talking about the old Wife but the press?:roll::-D

Boy, you said a mouthful right there!!!

I like what I got for a couple reasons: 1) someone with way more MZ experience then I has used it for years, 2) I can make it myself and on retirement...

Gent offered to "build" my kit. He calls them Screwdriver kits, but he did add that there is often proud wood where the inlet isn't quite right and some wood needs removed.

I am hoping that...

Actually, when others mic their cloth, they show a lot thicker (few thousands) then when I do it. I don't get extreme but when the thimble stops turning easily, there is a teeny extra bit it'll go...

RFD has been my mentor with my newly acquired GPR 50 cal. I use a concoction Rob calls Gato Feo, which is tallow, beeswax and parafin... rub into strips, heat with hair dryer and let dry, roll, and...

Sorry I can't be specific on your question, but I recently gave up the iron sights and bought the Lyman GPR Peep and WHAT a DIFFERENCE!!!! I retained the factory front sight blade

My old eyes...

I guess then we all owe you a double thanks for helping to identify the issue. Unlike some, I love the previously well made Investarms guns... I LIKE hooked breech for their ease of cleaning and...

IN all fairness to Investarms and Lyman, Lyman issued a recall on this very thing! Even Midway/Midsourth (I get alerts/ads from both) sent out a "head's up" on it.. it was on SN#s between A 595960...

Thanks for your post, Followme438,

I have a LOT of 165's to shoot off before I buy heavier... I was operating under the viewpoint that a heavier slug tends to generate more recoil..

Been reloading and casting for a goodly while but just getting started with the 40.

I fell in love with hitec coated boolits. Been pounding the gold coated outa my NMBH 45 LC at hotter levels with...

Thanks, TBG, I sent your reply to the friend who is investigating owning that gun in 338-06... I just has one young friend disparage the bbl nut and I had no idea it was even done...I'm old and...

You guys know more then I will ever know...or hope to but here goes:

I have a young machinist friend who wants to begin gunsmithing. He is of the opinion that the Marlin and other Barrel nuts are...

Good stuff all! Thanks! We all do what we find works, don't we? :)

Here and the LA Club were where I did most of my research.

When I said old, I meant OLD...this guy I got them from mentioned...

Lightman, I find you folks here are often light years ahead of me in many content areas! :)

I'd gotten into researching heavily on my own and found some conflicting reports on other sites that...

I "scored" 4 or so 5 gal buckets full of OLD WW some 3 yrs ago from an older chap having to give up shooting and casting....

With Dusty's help, I sat down and have crimped with side cutters EVERY...

Wow, from the top and tapped no less..you're one fine mechanic but a lot of the guys here are! :)

Found a 6-20 1/2" today at what passes for a hardware store here locally...

The hole received a 5/32 bit just fine... screwed it in as tight as I can... found a large steel bearing and someone...

Hopefully, they'll accept it.

Depends on size of bullet being cast... larger eat lead faster and about the time you get the alloy the right temp, it's drawn down... for my purpose, black powder 50...

Sounds like that nut arrangement on the 20# allows the orifice to be changed out... Good luck!

Thanks, Mike...good point, but I can assure you that I will not convert back...that thing is the pits for a bottom pour...so it's going to get used till it dies, then be disposed of.

I have the base off to do just that, Beagle... looks like the size bit means I need a 4 or 6 size sheet metal screw...

Gents,

Dug out the old Lee 10# bottom pour a bit ago...thankfully, I'd cleaned out all the lead last use and I disassembled the lift apparatus and the plunger... the "drain hole/nozzle" still had...

Goodquestion,William.

Back when we used them for EVERYTHING (including building a box along the sides of my pick up bed, we just used drywall screws, but... (after the But comes the truth) back...

Super... now to figure out what size and where to get a good screw (ing) :):roll:

aH... pardon. We used to drill them into sheet metal, so I wasn't sure.. any bets on size to go buy? Thanks! This area is somewhat of a jaunt to find anything and only place is Lowes and there you...
