Purchasing a Smith Carbine and need a mold. Lodgewood seems to only have the Lee 518 in stock and I know I'll be sizing to 0.513 or so from my previous pietta Smith a couple of years ago. I wish I still had the Lee mold in 515, but alas, I sold it with the carbine. I also just sold my Lyman 515139 with an Armisport Spencer Carbine to a Skirmisher here at N-SSA a couple of months ago. So----- I need a mold. Does anyone have one laying around that they care to part with?

With the wide range of bores sizes even within the same batch of guns I wouldn't bet on that. Your .513 is about the smallest I've ever seen. YOu need to have the carbine a few thousandths larger then the bore size.

Midway and Buffalo Arms both carry the Lyman 515139. Just do a search on their website. Also you can buy it direct from Lyman for a higher price.
