I agree with dragon, the only firearm I have let go so far was a .338win mag m70 with a safari stock and a mediocre scope. I traded it for a welder that got me started on an education that has...

I am working on automating mine right now. I am using an electric motor for the main power supply as I don't like the noise of compressors.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I'm toying with the idea of using the electric motor out of my old concrete mixer to supply power in an electric automation. I think total cost will be under $400

I just bought mine last month. It is a newer model with the fan. It came with a 308-210-FB-GC and a blank mold for $950. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend on used, but I didn't have to pay any...
