    CVA Bobcat

    If you watch for them on ebay, you can buy new or used for some what of a reasonable price. I seen some new ones selling for $130 delivered to your door. Not a good deal compared to $60 at wally world but still not bad compared to the prices most guns on the market are bringing today. :winking:

    Maxi ball lube?

    Bees wax & crisco 50/50 mix, then pan lube them. Works good for me, they aren't all slimey or to sticky. Load nice, even after 20-30 rounds with no swabbing the barrel. Do a search for "goatlips" he has a website shows you pic on how to do it all. Hope that helps you out. :winking:

    CVA Bobcat

    I bought one, really like it. Only complaints would be the trigger is a little stiffer than I would prefer & the stock used to hit me on the cheek bone. Put on some different sights, solved that problem. For a cheap gun you cant go wrong. :thumbsup:

    Casting Minnies?????

    Maybe I shouldn't call it "type set lead". It has been used for some kind of printing, you can still read it but its backwards.When you bend a piece of it, it will break off. I thought it had to be high in tin because of the casting weights and it breaks easy. I'll use it up on round balls &...
