In our distant past, gunsmiths who built guns often made moulds to accomodate the rifle.

Can anyone in Oz make you a mould and thus avoid your Customs scrutiny?

i found in my old dixie 2002 catalog a .630 round ball mould,a rapine .610 round ball mould,i should be able to get a gun shop to order one ,it would take ages to get hear and they would put on there little bit fair enough.i might try a gunsmith to make a mini ball mould,it will cost me and might not suit rifleing,i want a mini so i don't have any fires from smouldering patches in our very dry land.the 630 round ball heavily greased might do the trick .ok i have to fly, see ya
