I have a friend who is selling a lot of lead ingots - we have been shipping
them in flat rate boxes (60 pounds in a box) - linotype alloy and monotype
seems to be the most desired (apparently used to make bullets), but he has a
lot of 25 pound ingots. If you find my email from my web page
(wbnoble.com), I'll pass on his phone number and you can see what
arrangements you can make - so far, we've been getting between $1.25 and
$1.50 per pound depending on the alloy


Linotype???? PERK!!!!

Email me at gunner at lightspeed dot net with pricing for linotype. Im
almost out of it and would need at least 100 or more pounds.

Moving the movable stuff around helps, but most of my
installed heaviness is to port.
And I can't use the port water tanks right now without
inducing a serious list.

I need about 200 to 250 pounds of lead (or gold?) bars.

Metal World wants to know what alloy, size and shape I need.

I'm clueless as to lead alloys.

Are there standard bar shapes and sizes?

Or even better, anybody near Dallas Area have any scraps to sell?



"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
