Ahha!!!!! Maybe I wasn't dreaming!!!! I will check it out.....I thought I remember reading about this mold and I don't know where I got that it was made by Lee, apparently not. If I find one I will...
Thanks fellas!!!!! It really sounds like I either dreamed this up or read about it and misunderstood the article. Oh well, woulda been nice, but I guess not. Thanks again!!!! M
Anyone out there remember a Lee buckshot mold that cast a connecting "wire" between the shot so that they stayed together when you fired them????? I seem to remember reading about this mold but can't...

Yes and no, they weren't all "automatic"...one of the best features of the old Lefever shotguns was that they were made with an adjustable hinge. If the gun ever wears to the point that it is "off...

Dayton Traister made {makes???} a trigger that came with "speedlock" instructions to shorten the striker travel. It actually was a good mod and I did it to all of mine. Cut the travel in half, but if...

This will sound like a stupid tip and you guys are gonna laugh, but it has gotten me out of a jamb more than once...heat the stuck screw with a propane torch {I mean it's stuck and no good like it is...

Unless we are talking about something different here.....I have only ever flattened the dimples and, as above, I cant see the reason why anyone would want to drill holes in a magazine tube to let in...
