I'll be damned ! I've been throwing those bags away ! Looks like pork roll n eggs and Jersey burgers will be on this weekends camping trip menu (at the Penn St / Mountaineers game)

Yes, the curved part is filled with lead And it's for 'bopping" off flakes from the core

Working on learning how to knap flints Made a set of boppers today

Hitting it with a magnet was the first thing I did - definitely aluminum, with steel guide pins. That's the box it came in but I do not believe it's the correct one. The label is torn off

Single ball, aluminum (obviously not a Lyman just came in the box) Just picked it up in a lot I bought, can't find anything on it. Did a web search using every combination of terms I could think of, nothing. Expected it to be a Lee but there's record that I could find of a Lee mold in this size...

Yup, and now that it's been pointed out I see that the wood handle on mine is a very well done aftermarket upgrade.

I guess that makes sense, Whomever did the wood handle did a hell of a good job ! Looks totally factory.

Great deal. I have one of these, use it a lot, and love it.

Just picked it up as part of a lot, no markings anywhere. Went though pages of photos on the webz, no matches at all. Test cast to check diameter and weight . Round ball .454 135 grain Bullet .454 196 grain

It could be worse, you be like me and live in NJ where everything having to do with shooting and hunting has always been an uphill battle. You can win that battle ! You have to get out there and keep talking. Sooner or later you'll talk to the right person that want's those #$%&# deer out of...

I bought it as a gun likely built about then but with an original Maslin lock. I'm thinking about converting it to flint and selling the lock here. I'm asking because, although the seller is a top flight highly respected guy, mistakes happen and I want to be positive that my information is...

Before renovation After renovation (proper inletting, a bit of thinning down, a LOT of sanding and a no stain Tru-Oil finish)

Is part of a rifle that had no markings anywhere except this on the lock.

Remember this? Pretty sure he works at my local PO now

I've been reading this thread and wondering what everyone is doing that fouls their cylinders up that badly. I've never dealt with one that was so dirty it took more than a few swipes in soapy water to clean out - but, like Bunk in the post above, I've always shot with a lubed felt patch over...

Any threading to a depth over the diameter of the bore is excess. Thank you, I'll remember that
