    May have a 50-70 or two with a split neck, should work for fitting an extractor.

    If I don't get back to you in a day or two, poke me, I'll probably have forgotten to check the "no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it's too good to throw out can."

    You mean I'm not the only one with a pile like that? Too bad to keep, too good to throw away...........

    I have a junk brass pile, a brass that's too good to throw away pile, a good brass that I don't need pile, and a MOUNTAIN that I do need............

    I got poked!

    And finally looked.

    Got 2 on the bench looking for a new home. One the neck is split, other one, burned through the neck when annealing.

    This is turned, not drawn brass, the neck is paper thin and is extremely difficult to anneal without destroying the neck.

    There are many uses for "junk brass"... If we were to start a list we could end up looking like a brass pack rat.
