How much for shipping approx. for 1 doz. Insured and uninsured.
I have not mailed any since 2008 when the USPS rates were lower. Depending on the size I suspect the USPS charge in the lower 48 would be around 5 or 6 dollars with the insurance rate being $1.80 per $50 increment. Then I add .50 for packing materials so the total with insurance would probably be $6.50 to $7.50.
I use regular butcher paper to wrap them in then wrap that with clear tape.
Any chance of 1/4"?
Bill, 5/16 is the smallest they carry. By the time they are sanded they are a little under 5/16 and if I were you I would use them and taper them down by scraping them with a knife or planer blade. That leaves you more at the handle end.
I made one for my .30 caliber out of a 3/8 ram rod and it didn't take long to scrape it down. Plus it makes the rr look hand made.
