To whoever is lurking around ebay in the last couple months buying up pewter and paying way more than its worth. Think about what you're doing.

Those sellers pay attention to prices just like we...

I'm aware

Yeah they're back for me too now.

Must have been my service at the time.

It's sketchy at best out here in the boondocks.

What has happened to the pictures I posted here?

Missing in other threads too, and I cannot post any new ones.

Anybody know?

Post # 12......

Yes, it does, thank you very much.

I'm not really sure how much clearer I could have asked the question.


Here it is again, just for you......

Not coming down on anybody, but I don't like being told, "and I told you". Post #2 didn't tell me anything I didn't already have a handle on and I addressed post #2 with post #3, and there THAT...

Made a deal with my favorite local pawn shop. She been turning pewter stuff away because it would sit and nobody would buy it. Told her if she could buy cheap and sell reasonable I'd take anything...

Biggest bang for the buck when you're sourcing the tin, would be the crux of it.

No?

I'm sorry, or something, that my question here has caused you problems. A member above didn't have any trouble at all simply answering my question as it was asked, and without running off into the...

Thank you. That's what I was looking for.

And I told you, I was asking about a time frame.

Do you have a time frame?

When someone asks what time it is they're not interested in hearing how clocks are made.

What I've obtained so far is all Ewer Haugrud out of Norway, produced since the post WW2 40s.

For winning a bid at $7 to $12 per piece I'm doubtful it's anything valuable.

Thanks for all that...

I'm messing around with collecting some pieces as cheaply as I can find.

What was the cut off period when lead was taken out of the mix as standard practice. In other words, when did "modern"...

I think you might be right about that.

I have a 50 cal Knight KP1 break open ML that got the bore trashed on it. I would love to make a smooth bore Turkey Gun out of it instead of a tomato stake.

Wonder if Mr Hoyt would do that for me....

True enough

Thank you. That's about what I was figuring on trying. As best as I can recall my previous use of this mold was with COWW, but it was a LONG time ago.

No fancy carvings, just an accent line extending back from the lock panel through the wrist.

I had 500 lbs of mono back in the day. Helped melt it down into ingots and split it with the other guy. Then he got hard up for money so I bought his half and ended up with it all. I've used some...

Yes, I have an ancient Lyman book too, and a new one. Most things are with #2 in them.

From that thread you linked:

"#2 is more of a hardness level then a specific exact blend of lead, tin and...

130 or so pounds of soft lead so far, around 250 pounds of monotype.

Nope, thinking of exactly that mold. It's been a few decades since I used it but that bullet has worked very well in previous 1911's I've had and a metal I can't recall exactly what it was.

Since...
