I found this thread soon after I joined. In the first page someone even complained about the exact first question I asked. I had reloaded for 30 years at the time but I was new to casting and had...

Thank you for the interesting post, times were much simpler back then I guess.
My last 2 were scrap. I called them on the first one and they offered to replace it. It wasn't worth the trouble for a less than 20 dollar mold. The next one I (just) got lost its alignment pins...

Well I ordered a complete new screw assembly for 18 dollars plus shipping. I have no idea how old it is so this one should last my lifetime. Thanks again baer.

Hi, I was adding lube to my 450 and the pressure screw backed out. Does this just thread into the base somehow?
Why Thanks Gentlemen, and Fatnhappy that is a compliment! I have had all three molds hot over the weekend. The Lee 324 had both locating pins back out, the .457 RB worked great and the 314299 Lyman...

I have used 2 of the Yugo Zastava replacement barrels on 2 Mausers. The first was a M48, it was a direct swap. The second was a 98k. The gunsmith just had to remove the safety breech ring. Both...

Char, Did you mean 4759 powder instead of 4795? Just wondering as I am still trying different things in my Krag. I've never heard of 4795. Thanks in advance.
Forum: Military Rifles
I own an M48 and a M48B, plus several 24/47's. They are excellent rifles. You just can't beat that solid wood and steel feel. When you work the bolt on a Mauser 98 type there is a satisfying...

You could just set it back a couple of threads. With 28 inches to work with you won't lose much. It will be cheaper.

Rodwha, Are you talking about a .44 revolver or a rifle?
Forum: Muzzleloading.
No Bob, never been there. Sounds like a great family road trip though!
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Mine too Mr. Tucker. How can you not have deep affection for something that makes groups that make you look that good on the range! Thanks.

I have always liked the lubed wad over the "smear gooey stuff on the front of the cylinder" technique. The first time I fired my 58 I used a beeswax cookie sold as "Revolver seals" that I got by...

Definitely identified as a repro. I spent a few hours tonite looking at originals on the net. The collar and the spout and spring system are totally different on an original. I'm still thrilled...

Bob, Thanks, I actually own an original 41 Harpers Ferry. I finally got it (the flask not the rifle) apart after a week of soaking in Kroil. I will order the replacement parts and some spouts. If...
