Got this as part of a larger deal, and don't shoot .40 cal, so I'd like to trade this mold for one I can use. (FWIW, I don't want to go through the sell & ship process at the moment, because USPS rates are going up this weekend, don't know how much.If no suitable trade comes up by next week, I'll try to sell for cash at that time.)
Here are the cavities. (That black color is graphite mold release, probably NEI.)
Here's the top. Note some scuffing of the lube, but no galling. Also a bit of rust just starting on the iron screws. (I'll have oil on that before I go to bed.) And yes, that is a ding on the edge of cavity #6. Sorry, not going to try fixing, I'd just make it worse. (Okay, maybe it's a 5-cavity.)
Also a bit of scuffing on the cam surface, but no galling. (That's it, at the lower right corner of the top block. Put some beeswax there, when you run the 6-c's.) Both of the handle mounting screws are in good shape, like the one showing. Can't show it in pics, but the blocks engage solidly, no wobble, no daylight (so no warping, and the alignment pins are good), and no daylight under the sprue plate either, so nothing is bent in there.
Wood in good shape too. (Plus another look at the cavities.) Some swaging on the slot for the sprue plate stop screw. (Another place to put beeswax.) The note is just to myself, as Lee doesn't stamp these for caliber & weight.
I'd like to trade for something in .22, .30/31, or .35 rifle. As always, I'm open to a bit of cash in either direction, or other trade items, if appropriate to equalize trade values.
Thanks for looking!
