Picked up a lyman 1858 uberti in 36 cal. The nose of the plunger is in such a shape it gouges round ball real bad. It may have been modified for conical rounds.
I would like to replace it. Ordered a new part off line. It's way different. The new plunger is stepped, the old plunger is same dia from one end to the other. I thought about tig welding the nose of the old plunger and dressing it true.
I would rather buy a replacement.
Any thoughts?
