There's a new old stock FIE mold that's made from brass up for auction on eBay that ends in 3 days. --->>> https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vitg-NOS-F...284070?hash=item1ab7789a66:g:T50AAOSwERhdbYPf

This type of brass molds are the only ones that I've seen that makes a .31 conical.
The bullets may not be perfect but they should work.
There are some other similar used molds up for auction that can be found by typing--- .31 brass bullet mold ---into the eBay search box.

Here's another one from an estate that seems to measure about .32 caliber in the photo. --->>> https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brass-Bullet-Mould-Mold/303940170523?hash=item46c43ef31b:g:-5sAAOSw~ddgY38m

You can also create a design at Accurate Molds. I’ve had 3 designs made so far and highly recommend him. I don’t know if he can make original type bullets or not though. Not sure if that’s what you’re after.

Im all for accurate molds. The craftsmanship and mold itself is phenomenal

I know Eras Gone makes .36 and .44 cal traditional bullets. Maybe he has a .31 as well, and if not maybe he can be persuaded.

I’ve not heard good things about the bullets the combo brass molds make, but then I guess it comes down to your chamber size vs the size the mold drops.

Eras Gone was offering a .31 conical mold but it says that it's only for the Uberti .31 and not the Pietta.
However it's not currently in stock. --->>> http://www.erasgonebullets.com/store/product/-31-baby-dragoon#
----------------------------------
Both Taylor's and The Possible Shop sell a brass mold that they say may cast undersized bullets.

2. https://possibleshop.com/reload-oldtime-mold.html

There are ways to try to enlarge a mold if needed.
-----------------------------------
As rodwa mentioned, Accurate molds does have a catalog with some molds to chose from that can be tweaked if you know the spec's that you want.
But they may be untested.
Some are on page 5 of their catalog and are among the first ones listed under .33's: --->>> https://www.accuratemolds.com/catalog.php?page=5#catalog-anchor

Hey, has anyone received an order or any communication from Marty's Arms since this last post?

I placed an order on April 2, and my CC was charged right away. His site says he's swamped and doing the best he can for a 1-man shop, and I tend to believe it; his site does not have the "feel" of a scam. He notes that shipping would happen 7-12 days after ordering.

That said, I emailed a polite status inquiry a little over 3 weeks later and have received no reply. If anyone has any info or has received their order, please let me know. Hope all is well with him and he's just busy.

Thanks.

He has a Facebook page and on April 14th, he posted 2 photos of himself and crates. --->>> https://www.facebook.com/martysarms/?ref=page_internal

"Hey y’all. I’ve been gone for a bit, but that’s cause I’ve been really busy!
Two more brand new CNC machines just showed up, and will help me catch up and make more molds for everyone.
Thanks everyone! It’s because of all a ya’ll’s support and help that I can make this happening
Marty,
From MartysArms"

He's obviously a busy guy with some customers posting who asked about the status of their mold orders.
Two weeks ago he replied to a customer that:
"The #0 is ready and the #00 will be done this week. So they'll be shipping soon."
It looks like he's trying to catch up on back orders.

Thanks, arcticap! I don't do Facebook, so I wouldn't have seen that.

This confirms my gut feeling, now just gotta keep my anticipation in check!

Just a follow-up to my May 5 post: I received a shipping notification from Marty's Arms this morning. My mold is on its way!
