Oh no, here we go again. Bad spelling and grammar with a question this time...that makes no sense. At least there's not a bunch of useless emojis.


Pass the gravy.

You got a little ahead of yourself and confused the OP with someone else.

Been years but I have done a couple. It helps if like in the video in the link the chamber is easily accessible

Cera cast is a easy thing to do plug a barrel with a cotton or paper wad and melt the cera cast in the chamber let cool and knock out.

I had a old mauser belonged to my ex FIL no idea what it was chambered in he had about 6 bullets laying around so I chambered a few till something fit and the bolt closed the bore diameter is pretty easy to determine.

Use some common sense, I bet you figure it out. Take the firing pin out if your concerned about a accidental discharge.
