    Got a smith on the way, got a question

    So I never particularly liked the Smith carbine, having shot a teammate's a few times, but got a good price on a Pietta previously owned by a skirmisher; apparently it's had all the stuff done to it, sights replaced, clean out screw replaced, etc. It was a 'I couldn't say no' type thing.

    So it's on its way, sent out the check this morning.

    I will need tubes, that's a given. Lots of places sell those.

    I'll need a mold and sizer; the latter to be determined by slugging the bore of course.

    Question for you smith shooters, especially if you have a Pietta- what mold do you favor?

    Try the Moose molds 515-385 with three grease grooves. It is modeled after the rapine.
