    Help! Broke pin on MiHec mold

    The pin that holds the block to the handles on my Group Buy MiHec 22 NATO mold broke when I was taking the mold off the handles today. Really odd, the pin just sheared off above the threaded portion. I've been casting with this mold all winter with no problems, and was just putting it away for the season.
    I'm sure I didn't over tighten it, plus you think if I did it would have done that back when I put it on the handles a few weeks ago.

    Anyhow, how do I go about getting a replacement?

    Borrow one from another of your MiHec molds. I have bought some used ones that didn't even come with pins.

    Order another Mihec mold and ask him to throw a replacement pin in the box.

    Actually it is as easy as contacting Mihec. I broke a hollow point pin and he sent me a new one with no questions asked. It was here a week after I sent him an email. He is a good man.

    Yup, it really was that easy! All he asked for was my address.
