Lead Rifle Men
Picked up a vintage army man mold and gave it a go, couldn`t get any of the rifles to flow out, tried bullet wheel weight lead and pure lead with no success . Anyone play with one of these old molds. https://i.imgur.com/vp4HsgSh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aaH6LZth.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PBhbnAPh.jpg

Re: A relieble char lighter.
Thanks Grizz, i made a couple fire pistons and they don`t seem very reliable and tried flint with out much luck.
I know it`s not a traditional way of doing it but it does work if your into starting a fire with char.
If anyone makes one let me know how it works for you.

Re: A relieble char lighter.
I made another one using a new Zippo that works better yet, first pic shows the hole plugged where the wick was and second pic. shows JB weld put in the bottom to plug hole.
Now extra char could be stored there.
