REMAKE - Mihec 380 auto and Makarov

[DukeInFlorida]

BUY is CLOSED

----------------------------------

This is the remake of Mihec's mold for 380 auto and Makarov.

It's:



^^^^ click for larger image of the mold
(NOTE: This was the 2 cav mold from the original buy. The current buy is 4 cavities ONLY. The blank pins are shown)

It's .358" and about 93 grains for 380 auto and .366" for the Makarov.

This will be a four cavity Brass mold, and would come with the Cramer style pins to do either hollow point, or flat nose. (by turning them around) and blank pins.

Price for 4 cavity with round and blank pins will be $136 plus $20 shipping.
Prices are in US dollars. PayPal will do the conversion for you if you live outside the USA.

Miha needs a minimum of 15 molds (pins are the problem here), and we are well past that minimum.

NEW:
A couple of you have asked if it might be possible to do two cavities of Makarov and two cavities of 380. While Miha says that he'd prefer not to (logistical reasons), he'll consider it IF there are at least 5 people who want that. I will start a separate list for those molds, in this same buy. If you want to jump from one list to the other, please let me know. Be aware that if Miha decides to NOT do the dual mold, you'll have to make decisions in the closing hours of the buy. There are no guarantees for the dual/combo mold.

If this is your first MP Molds buy, then allow me to provide the description for how it works.

1) No money to send in ahead of time.
2) I collect the IN list, and provide that to Miha at MP Molds.
3) He builds the molds, on his own dime, based on the list.
4) He'll invoice you directly, through payPal, to the email address that you provided, when the molds are ready to ship
5) Make sure that the email address is known by PayPal. Some of us have more than one email address.
6) When you pay the invoice, Miha will ship the mold, within a day or two of being paid.

Yes, it's that simple and easy.

This is my first buy as HONCHO.
Don't wait, you'll miss out on this one if you wait.
I need PayPal email addresses.

BUY is CLOSED

[Gunsmoke4570]

I'd be in for one of each.

[Chapped Lips]

Duke....perfect timing!

Was just gonna PM Miha to see if he had any runover molds laying around for my model 1908.
Put me down for one 380 mold. Certainly hope there is interest in this run.

Will the price still be $85 plus $15?

[MiHec]

I have 5 MAKAROV molds ready to ship ASAP.

2 cavity brass Price for this 5 pcs is 85$ + 15$ shipping

Other ones will be some $ more. (must check on brass price)

[Gunsmoke4570]

I'd like one of each, but I'll go ahead and take the Mak mold now and get the .380 later when they are ready.

[denul]

Could this be offerred in 4 cavity?

[DukeInFlorida]

Yes, future orders can be offered in a four cavity configuration. Be aware that the price will be more than last time.

Miha is checking on brass prices, and we should get a quote from him ASAP.

Should I presume that you want in regardless of the price???

Which version do you want? 4 cav Mak or 4 cav 380?

Could this be offerred in 4 cavity?

[denul]

I am interested only in the 4 cavity 380, and I realize he has no control over the price of raw materials. Unless he is forced to raise prices to extreme levels I will commit, because I feel that his molds have always represented an excellent value. thanks for setting this up.. denul

[Ugluk]

I'll commit to a 358 four cavity, maybe two.

Is there any idea of a time frame?

[werepyr]

I want one of the 380 molds

[uncleskippy]

I want one of the 380 molds

[DukeInFlorida]

Time frame normally consists of several factors:

First is the number of molds required to proceed. New molds require about 15-20 molds to make designing and building cherry, etc worthwhile. In molds where he already has the cherry, the number is less. If we bump from the previous 2 cavity to a newer style 4 cavity, it might affect the minimum number of molds to proceed. Miha will have to weigh in on this factor.


Secondly is his current production schedule. Again, he will have to let us know.

Thirdly, he's going to have to get some special brass blocks made for this build, and there will be some lead time for the blocks.

I'll ask Miha to respond.

I'll commit to a 358 four cavity, maybe two.

Is there any idea of a time frame?

[mebe007]

Is be in for a 2 or 4 cav for the .380acp

[cutter_spc]

I would be in for a 2 cavity .358 mold depending on price.

[Iron Mike Golf]

Put me down for a .380 4 cavity

[chuck4570]

I will take a .380 4 cavity

[huntnman]

I sure could use a .380 mould.Just checked with the wife. Put me down, MiHce is going to know my mailing address by heart, GB #3 pending.4 cavity.358 good for me.
MY lyman third edition,says(the use of bullets larger than .355 is usually not possible.) What sizer dies could you use?

[DukeInFlorida]

List is up to date. Still waiting to hear from Miha regarding prices, cavities, and expected timeline.

[DukeInFlorida]

OK, heard back from Miha on prices. See post #1 for details.

We're up to 11 molds as of today.

So, just a few to go, and we can get on the schedule.
I'm going active with this buy..............

[Aaron]

Put me down for a four cavity 380, if it goes

Thanks

Aaron
