I have cast frames and other parts from aluminum and black iron using the lost-wax process for black powder guns and they have held...

    Had to pass on something that I really wanted to buy. A nicely sporterized 1895 Ludwig Loewe Mauser carbine in 7mm with a reshaped and checkered stock and clean rifling, beautifully reblued overall. Problem is, when they dressed off the crest they also ground off the serial numbers... .

Some got recycled, others repaired and either sold or put to my own use, a few were cut up for steel and parts. Nothing that I've seen that was marketed as a stand-alone gun safe was really secure.

    Considering a Ruger Mini-14, but why?
