[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1787864, member: 18849"] Agreeing with JE, the lead lap shrinks just enough for easy removal/movement. Even with too much of abrasive the lead is hard to move. I would think the epoxy would be too tight. Also having only tried this on a couple of "rough" factory barrels (7 or 8 laps cast) everyone broke loose easily. Another advantage of the lead would be no "drying/curing" time. The lead lap will be ready before you can shut off the torch. Also you don't need a led pot as a small ladle/dipper will hold way more than you need per pour and you can melt it with a propane torch. My guess if the epoxy fits like bedding an action it could easily mechanical lock because of the rifling twist & "rough" button bores. Not saying it wont work, especially with the right epoxy. Try it on a couple of tomatoe stakes and let us know. My .02, Randy [/QUOTE]
