Hoping so, that 43 spanish carbine with full bp loads kicks quite hard. My #1 sporter in 45-70 with a 34 inch badger barrel weighs just under 12 pounds. Is fun to shoot and don't beat you up. Bugger...

Colorado, no reminders. Wife and I are still good for two years.
Wonder what's everyone's opinion is on the Lyman 427666 mold?

Bought stuff from them, always good. Yea they have the core for less than $40. Going to pull mine first and see where the leaks at and go from there.

My dad had a 71 E350 when I was a kid. He had to remove the whole dash to get that heater core out.
That was the day I learned all the bad words! :)
Forum: Our Town
Done that on the last old car we had, hoping once I get the core out I can fix it. The way it was leaking I'm guessing it just might be a rubbed through supply line or joint at the core.
