Please remove me from this buy - I'm position 37. NOE had a small drop of 61gn gc hps and I managed to snag one.

Any other components you might be looking for? I have one milspec lpk, buffer/spring/end plate/castle nut. But no buffer tube or brace.

Rooting through my parts drawer, I have a few upper...

If this is still open, I'd be down for a 3 cav brass HP, NLG, GC +handles

We know that sulfur will compound with antimony, and I proved in the above...

It appears that the zinc most readily compounds with the sulfur, but if you use an excess of sulfur as flux, you are certainly going to pull off a significant amount of antimony as well. I have a few...

If you're trying to remove the antimony from wheelweights to reuse later, sulfur is not going to be a good option. You'll end up with antimony trisulfide in addition to tin and zinc sulfates, which...

Give me a few days and I can test it. I have some superhard I can dilute down to ~8% antimony and get some baseline hardness, and then see if fluxing with sulfur softens the alloy.

Craigslist, facebook marketplace, garage sales. A typical male diver rocking a wetsuit is wearing 20+ lbs of lead. Usually when you find someone selling dive weights, they're in lots of 20-30lbs at a...

I know this is an older post, but I have two T/C Hawkens with the same barrel as the Renegade. I shoot mostly PRB (took a deer with it this past winter) but also cast Maxi Balls if I want something a...

This might help. Pure lead on the left, wheel weights in the middle, tin pewter on the right. 265710

Look at the explosion of powder coated lead bullets - there are now dozens of manufacturers making them and selling them, sometimes for as low as $.07cpr. With availability like that, there's not a...

Take a breather, I asked an honest question. You said in your initial comment that you weren't sure it contained zinc, but you fluxed with sulfur anyway, so I was honestly wondering why...

I...

Why did you flux with an excess of sulfur on an alloy you weren't even sure contained zinc, what was the end goal? And yeah, it's pretty noxious stuff, but I got on just fine doing it on the back...

I used a "spoonful" of powdered sulfur on each fluxing of the 5lb melt. Probably 2 teaspoons per. It quickly melts and ignites, and burns somewhat vigorously in a deep blue. While it was burning, I...

Alright, so here's where I am so far. TL;DR, sulfur does work to pull zinc out of the alloy.

I started by adding 2.2oz of zinc to 4lbs 13.8oz of lead, to give us an alloy of 2.75% zinc to lead by...

Haha, thanks for the welcome! I've been stalking the boards for quite a while, and casting for my flintlocks for a minute as well. I have several hundred pounds of mixed lead (wheelweights, dive...

So this is something that has perplexed me for many years - It's now been over a decade since Sciguy made his post related to fluxing lead with sulfur to remove zinc, and in that time, nobody has...
