Where's the copper coils? Sure you're not brewing rather than casting? Better money in the likker than in leather!!

Pretty cool stuff there. I haven't cast any aluminum since middle school. Cast a bunch of silver and gold but the lost wax method may not work so hot for your set-up.

rough casting of a 4"Redhawk. I will saw off the sprue, grind, file and polish to size.
Next, a PMR-30! 5.5 flat top 5.5" Super Blackhawk, 4" Sp101 4" 44mag, Taurus 4" Tracker. LC9LM, LCPLM, etc until I just have aluminum form guns in the shop.
Then there will be some gun selling and trading going on!
