Mike, I made a skimming spoon out of some scrap 1/4 inch aluminum plate I had laying around. I took a ball peen hammer to it to form a bowl, then cut around the depression to make it into a spoon with a handle. Drilled some holes and smoothed it all out. I knew those Lee moulds were made out of aluminum for some reason- lead just won't stick to it!
I got my Uberti .36 pocket navy today. Boy, is it sweet! Reminds me of a Ruger Bearcat.I haven't shot it yet, won't get to until maybe tomorrow or Saturday. I can't say a single thing bad about it. The wood is beautiful, the finish is flawless, the fit is perfect, the cylinder locks up positively with absolutely ZERO play and the chambers are all lined up exactly with the bore.I was prepared to have to do a little smoothing here and polishing there but it didn't need anything. The trigger pull is even good! It's itty-bitty cone shaped front sight will probably have to go but I'm going to shoot it some before I replace it. I'd like to square up the rear sight notch and have a flat topped front sight when I'm all done. I hope yours turns out like mine did!
