Unfortunately not in NY, we use to be free then Cuomo stepped in. Those of us who live upstate in the country are out voted and ruled by that small island called NYC. I keep praying for better days,...

You posted while I was digging for links to reply to you. Well good deal, you scored and you did great on the price! Just have to keep hitting the thrift stores and don't get discouraged, other...

Dan, Those plates in that ebay listing sure looks like fake pewter, Wilton is a company that made a lot of fake pewter, see how similar these Wilton pieces look like the Williamsport. ...

Go to a chain restaurant, they get prepped foods in all kinds of nice buckets with lids, in all sizes, they throw them away. Make friends (pad hands, cook's or managers) and ask them to save them for...

Agreed, I was taken back. It will be the last Beretta I'll ever buy, new or used. Too bad because other then the barrel I do like the gun but they lost a customer by not standing behind their...

I bought a new Beretta 92FS that has a barrel like that, looked like a rolled up piece of 320 grit sand paper. I sent it back to Beretta sure they would replace it but it came back with a note it was...

This is the set I got, it should out last me, doubt you'll find a better price, I paid a couple bucks more a few years ago and thought I got a good deal. ...

Sorry to hear that, I was hoping it would be positive. I don't follow our politics any more then I need to let alone another country's, (none of my business anyways), it's too depressing most of the...

I take it neither of you have spent much time around us "rednecks" (country boys) here in the USA? I don't think you'd feel out of place, we ain't like city folk and never want to be! :drinks:

Sounds like a good time spent, I really miss my cigars, I smoked cigs too, but I took up vaping six years ago and it's worked, I can vape guilty free and even enjoy it! But no more cigars or smoking...

I checked the ChoreBoy I've had for 15-20 years and it doesn't attract to a magnet, no steel in it, easy quick test. But I wouldn't go back to using it, the Lewis Remover is far better, not that I...

Agreed 100%, but if you shoot cast, sooner or later you'll have to deal with lead in the bore.

Rather then clog up this thread with removing lead chat I started a new one, there are a couple good videos, one showing good close up shots of the lead pulled with the Lewis and another video...

I started this thread because I didn't want to chat up the Hi-Tek thread with off topic chatter, one of the members posted asking for advice on lead removal, if you want to read the few posts on the...

Aside from the mechanical Lewis remover I have had really great luck with this foaming remover. Left overnight the lead will turn mushy gray on the edges and help it lift out of the bore, may have to...

I would say that's to be expected for soft lead, in my book anyways. Looks like the coating did it's part, even next to where the lead is ripped from crushing & wood fibers the coating can be seen,...

Man, that's a brute test with soft lead, that was some hard tough wood! I'd call that a success for Hi-Tek, no signs of flaking there! How the bores look with that soft lead, any leading in the...

Ah, target moving explains it. I use to shoot Bullseye, until my spine problems got so bad that I devolved a weakness and uncontrollable shake in my right arm and hand, tests showed it was nerve...
