Any chance of still getting in?

If so, can you put me down for a 3 cavity, thanks.

Oh boy, where to begin...

Okay, you want large volumes of jackets? That means a punch press like others have mentioned. Something nobody has mentioned here is coil feeders. a 10 ton OBI, with a...

So lemme get this straight, you're using 7/8th stock for something with a .875" flange?!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/HTRN/Emoticons/eek7.gif

Tha's bad machining practice - a minimum of...

Buckshot, machining in general is "wasteful" - all too often, half or more of the barstock winds up as chips. What are the actual dimensions, anyway? You may be able to get away with using a smaller...

Uhm.. :mrgreen:
(4 foot x 30 foot Leblond - asking price at the time was $8000)



I can tell you that after fooling around with Gcode for a couple hours, you'll never want to touch another...

For Mausers? No. Another company is now making the Enfield kit(adapter and barrel) for double the price.

Uhm... There is always room for improvement!:mrgreen:

This should be fairly easy to duplicate using 55 gallon plastic drums. Or for those wanting a vibratory tumbler..

Check Tejas Smokers for cheap regs - their 0-60PSI regulator with hose will run you $50

They still sell them

A quick comparison with shot weights and it appears that the "BB-20" mold casts sizes close to 000 and #1, based on the weights mentioned. Does it have a sprue plate, or do...

I think that shot size vs. hole size will require some experimentation - Remember, 7 and a half is approx. 350 pellets to the ounce, while 00 is 8. That's about 43 times the volume per pellet. So...

Yah, that was my impression too - My first though was "packaging machinery".

About the cheapest decent setup I've come across is the HF dutch oven with a burner from a Turkey fryer.

Dicks has a Masterbuilt for $40, and the HF 6 quart Dutch oven is $18

Cook hammer molds - $49-57

Cook Hammer price list.

Buckshot is on the money with this one - the Walnut hill is a beast of a Press. If I had known then, what I know now, I wouldn't have bought my Ultramag. It's a steal too, at $270.

I would add...

My "Community" College had Machining Centers, Turning Centers, and right before I graduated, a STL machine.

But then, they were offering a Man. Eng degree. :mrgreen:

The word is, it has ZERO chance of passing - it was introduced by Reps almost exclusively from the Philly area.

Remember now, PA has the US's largest rural population(almost 3.5 million), issues...

I'd like to point out that MSC sells Plumbers Pots.

Note that it's A) $140, and B) only 43K BTU.


HTRN

I'd like to point out that what they use in Commercial smelting is Sawdust, because of the reasons already stated - cheap and works well.


HTRN

You boys are in luck - McMaster Carr has them, ranging from $50ish for the smallest to just under 90 for the monster 6.5lber.

Go take a looksee.


HTRN

I believe your referring to Michaels. All sorts of useful stuff in that place. :mrgreen:

6-8lbs is what you're looking for?

Just...

They're not even that much - Brownell's has the molds for $40 or so.


HTRN

There's a coupla things I like about how Rhineland has done the Enfield kit - one, the new barrel is like a savage, anybody can install and headspace with hand tools, no lathe required, and two, they...

Harbor Freight has a cheap buffer for under a $100.


HTRN

Well, you could send your old barrel to a barrel maker and have him copy the barrel. Krieger makes a .438 bore size barrel, close enough to the 43's nominal of .439... In fact, you might be better...

Why not simply set the barrel back?
