So, I made a trip to the gunshop that is about 1 1/2 hrs from where I live. This gunshop has been in business for a long time and is kind of special to me. It is where I bought my first .22 rifle, a Winchester model 72 with peep sights. Still ran by the original owner. I am 37 now and i bought the above mentioned .22 with my dad when I was 10 or 11. Paper route money. :grin:
Sorry, I went off on a little tangent there. So I am digging through a little pile of stuff that has been traded in recently and find a ziploc with three Ideal molds in it. Mike, the owner sais, I'll sell those to you cheap......$20 for all three. [smilie=1: I take a look inside and see the following (all single cavity): 311413, 357446, and 358439HP. All have a slight amount of varying surface rust, but certainly nothing severe. Needless to say, I didn't even hesitate.
Cleaned them up tonight and they are nice and shiny now. Dremel tool with the little pointed buffing tip and kroil does wonders. I lightly dremel wire wheeled the vent lines on the 311413 and 357446 and they are good to go to. The 358439 is the old ventless type but unfortunately is missing the HP pin and handle. I'll have to get with Erik on this one. Happy camper!!
