HeliArc is the best way to weld... But for the cost just buy another mold or make your own... Weld shops have a min charge that will exceed the price of the mold.

Alot of ebay items sell for more than new price... I guess the bidders can't stand to loose...

CAS & SASS shooters have a new cartridge...
