Here in Northwestern Pennsylvania we have about a foot of snow on the ground. It warmed up and rained last night and it was 34 degrees at 7:30 A.M. this morning, it is now 1 P.M. and the temp is 18 degrees. Solid ice everywhere.

I will get a better set of calipers and hope to find material to do the casting at the local gun shop when I get out and about.

I will try the 0000 and WD40 this afternoon.
