    Casting Help!

    A pot to melt the lead. Could be a cheaper electric Lee pot or you could use a cast iron pot on a gas burner or camp stove. Need a ladle to scoop molten lead and to pour into the mold. A wooden handle of some sort to tap the sprue plate open is handy, although you can do it with a gloved hand...

    RCA 52 stock template

    Thank you for the contact info and the advice Dave. I have the German lock but have not inlet it yet.

    Starting a copy of RCA 52. Wondering if anyone has a template of the stock they'd be willing to share? Or any other dimensions that might be known from the original. I have the book and the dimensions they give but would be interested in any other info available.

    Sidelock hammer screw.

    No offense taken by me. I think people understand the question but are trying to understand why the screw would break. I can understand the hammer taking shock and possibly breaking but I still have a hard time seeing how that screw would take any shock unless there was side force on the head...

    Sidelock hammer screw.

    Nice attitude, I'm sure you'll get a lot of help, By the way I've never had any issues with TC screws. Not sure why the end of the screw would even break off. It shouldn't be under any kind of stress during shooting.
