Straight and to the point, no messing around. There are several chamber casting videos on YT, but this is by far the best. Larry, wish you were still making videos. You're the best!
I just ordered two pounds of it today. That should be enough to last a long long time. You can melt it back down and reuse it as long as you don't spill or lose it over and over again. I want it because I don't like the idea of hammering a oversized bullet or slug of lead down my barrel to get barrel rifling groove diameter dimensions. This is quicker, safer and easier. Even better is if it would get stuck just use a heavy duty industrial heat gun on the firearm barrel and it will melt right back out.
my grandpa had one of these he said he use to fireform brass for it when the old loud b52s use to fly over the house lol never did get to shoot but hey the only gun you dont shoot is the one you cant find ammo for( i know you can get but its too damn expensive for just to say i shot it)
had to melt mine back out, just wouldn't come out. will have to try and clean the chamber again and put some oil in. maybe I had it too far down into the rifling?
Since it is also used to measure barrel rifling groove diameters that wouldn't be true. You had some type of obstruction, be it rust, powder residue etc etc in there.
@@dakotamar45acp Awesome!! To my best of knowledge this is the safest way to go about doing a casting of your chamber or barrel rifling. Hammering down a oversized bullet or chunk of lead never crossed my mind.
How to replace the Canadian rifle 303 pipe, with another Kalashnikov type Russian sniper, because I like to use the Canadian rifle 303 (Canadian), but I live in Iraq, no bullets, to rifle Canadian 303, which is called the world War II, manufactured in 1950 helped me if you can help, I should be grateful to you, I accept my greetings.
hey larry, can someone just use lead instead? if lead wont do anny damage, just for fun/collection i would like to make chamber cast's of a couple different rifle/shotguns.
I know I'm answering a 6 year old comment, but this could be useful for other people: Cerrosafe is an alloy of roughly 42% bismuth, 38% lead, and some tin and cadmium. It has an incredibly low melting point of 74 °C (165 °F). Compare that to the much higher melting point of pure lead: 327.46 °C / 621.43 °F. Therefore, Cerrosafe is much safer for the tempering of your firearm.
+WaynesHowTo Because these rolling block rifles were manufactured in a ridiculous number of different calibers. They were used by militaries all over the world, from the 1860's up until WW1.

Larry Potterfield and the chamber of secrets.
Haha thumbs up to you. But now it is known as the chamber of .43 spanish
@@beardoggin8963 *Spoiler alert
dude... lol
This was the perfect comment haha
Thank you Mr. Potterfield for the content you put out
Excellent video Larry.
nothing beats a man that knows his trade and Larry knows his trade!
cerosafe has a lower melting point that wont ruin the temper
because many older guns were made in multiple calibres, they may not be marked on the barrel, and the calibre could be obsolete.
imbored742 doesn't matter, as we've seen he can make new cartridges from brass stock for shells and custom molds for bullets
@@gr1nder07 unless the cartridge is rimfire. I have a,17.5x29 rimfire and I have to build the cartridge from scratch
Your the man Larry!
What I wouldn't give to just follow him around and learn.
Just love this stuff.
@knifemakejake the alloy used melts at a fairly low temperature, so no

@@JohnDoeEagle1 cleaned the bore, lightly oiled and re-did it. worked fine.

Try a release agent in the chamber next time
"And that's the way it is." :D
Kiki Zorowa u are sexy as f and that sucker makes it worse!
@ODgr33n You could, but it's not as accurate. Wax will deform when being removed. You also can't use oils as it will effect the wax chemically.
Neat.
how do you nickel plate the bullet chamber on your rifle?

Try looking for British .303
And to think, I was stupid enough to be looking on the barrel for the info!
MY GOD, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!
+archangel20031 Anytime you're using this method, it's because the cartridge size either isn't printed on the barrel, or it's rusted off.
+Zachary Wilmes
I know, I was being sarcastic.
archangel20031 I figured that.
would it be easy to make a rolling block rifle by myself ?

MrKinir Plus lead is so hot at liquid temps that any dam you use would catch fire!
Cerrosafe can be melted down over and over. A few ounces can last a lifetime.
That sounds like it will take a long time why not just Google it?

crazyfvck Not only that, but some were reamed out to a different caliber.
The heck is 44 Spanish?
