    How remove internal retaining ring

    Yep those are a pain. You have to figure out which end has the slanted cut on the end and pull that with the picks. Buy a couple of sets of picks with the rubber grip handles as you will break one or three before you get the hang of it. Much patience may be required. Scott

    Lead bar shape. I melted wheel weights down for lead bullets. A piece of angle iron with ends welded on it makes a good mould. Melt the weights and scoop off the clips and pour it in. The gold one you have is just icing on the cake. Scott

    Mill scale removal methods?

    That stuff is nasty to get off, Use the most coarse abrasive you can find, 16 or 24 and take the guard off and lay it as flat as possible on there and give it a go, the smears are from it getting hot. Coarse to get it off and finer to clean up. Scott
