    I am aware, just would be neat. I have watched Mihec's videos and realize it would not work well. Would be very time consuming.
    Gamsek, I am considering having one gc shank cut out. That would...

    DukeInFlorida,
    Those are good reads indeed. Read them a while ago along with all of the LASC articles. I almost pursued a minor in Materials Engineering because of it. I have tried Hi-Tek along...

    Thank Gamsek, you are the only one I have really seen post much with this combination, at least that I could find. I do plan to shoot supersonic though. I may make a separate thread for this topic....

    I have been reading all that I can find on this mold with 300 blk. I do plan on powder coating and gas checking.

    I contacted him and was able to get one. It arrived today. This is my 6th mold from him and it never gets old gazing on the new ones. Time to take some pics then wash and heat cycle. Do contact him.

    I will wait for a reply from Mihec. Sutherpride59, did you ask if any extras existed? If none exist, I may wait a few weeks and restart a discussion to see if there is still enough interest. I look...

    Thanks DukeinFlorida. I PMed him. We will see. It appeared there was a line for extras so I will not hold my breath. I am sure another group buy will happen for this one soon enough, even if I...
