NOE Bullet Molds, Al's Retiring

[BriarpatchMtn]

Al Nelson is retiring. NOE will be wrapping up operations in the next 3t to 4 months.
Sad to learn this, he makes some really good molds.
Get them while they last.
Unfortunately I'm currently broke due to car repairs.

He's giving a 30% discount on in stock molds. He will be sorely missed.

Dang! I've been waiting for a while to get the
.356 pellet style mold. Bummer.

 

[DesertSilver]

If he has it in stock you better buy it.

I just checked and it says it's in stock!!!!

I agree. I've bought three molds from him in the last 6 months or so.

Mr. Nelson, sir, I wish you a long and enjoyable retirement!
I have twelve airgun-specific NOE molds. They bring me great enjoyment in casting and in appreciating how projectiles fly.
Be well, sir!

Al Done good. I just wished he had brought the 20 cal mold out, before retirement,
I even had saved the funds for it, but now the funds will be spent on te 25 cal.
I have all the 22 cal and only missing 1 25 cal.
Thanks Al.

Yea, I just called him. Wished him all the best. I was hoping he would be doing 1 more run, but they have already put all the machines to bed
I was hoping he would be able to make a run of the .45 diablo style pellet. Unfortunately that design never made it into production. My only hope now is trying to snag one of Tom's designs. The only issue would be sourcing pins. Sad to see another US manufacturer closing shop, but such if life.

Do you know if he’s going to sell or maybe has already sold his equipment to someone who may start them up again? It would be great if the mold line could continue.

I didn't ask. Every time I called he always answered the phone. Give him a ring.

One of the reasons Al is retiring is his health.

 

[Engg.Ken]

Let me see what GMI can do about the demand in Casting equipment.

 

[Avator]

Oh my, what will Bob Sterne do now?

Will I managed to scrounge enough to get one mold, left less than $20 in bank account. The .459-315grain mold has worked great for my Challenger Elite. Have 3 of the 2 cavity molds, one I've had shaved to shorten and drops around 270gn now. 4 cavity I just ordered will probably stay in box for a long time.
