Variance in .36 Conical Colt Molds? (2nd Gen)
I am fortunate enough to have three Colt 2nd Generation .36 bullet molds to go with my cased C1122 Colt 1851 Navy - however, the three mold have significantly varied lengths of the conical cavity as well as different sprue cutter screw heads. Is one (or more) a forgery? Or perhaps made for the 1862/1865 Pocket Navy? Or just different suppliers during the Colt 2nd Generation Runs - C vs. F? Answers? Ideas? Sorry I've no photos, but please provide any facts/opinions you can. Thanks!
Best Wishes to All, w.t. anderson |
