    Look at the left end of the heater base and you'll see a hole about 1/4" dia. The heating element slides in from the other end (right end) and runs parallel to the front of the base.

    August,
    I've read where some people think when the cartridge retaining spring comes apart it's broken and they replace it with a new one and in a short period of time the new one comes apart and...

    jawjaboy,
    Those SS beer kegs make real good moonshine-stills but for smelting lead I'd go with a cast iron pot. The one I use will hold about 100# of melted lead and I've never had any problems with...

    Hardcast,

    rmb721,
    I've had the Ruger's, S&W's, H&K's and some others and I guess they are OK as a self defense type pistol, but personally (and this is just my opinion) you can't beat a 1911. They easy to...
