Ray Rapine phone no#
« on: February 08, 2010, 08:43:45 AM »
Tried calling Rapine today, got a diconected recording. [215-679-5413] :o
Would anyone have another no#?
I talked to him about 3 weeks ago and he said nothing about a different no#
or going out of buesness, so don't know whats going on.
I'm in need of a 515 350T mould.
So if anyone has one they no longer use I will buy it.

Doc,
That is the current number that I have.  Maybe the problem is with the weather.  Parts of PA are snowed in with with power and phone lines down.  Keep trying.  I sounds like it may be a few days for things to approach normal back there.

I read on a forum somewhere (can't remember where now) that Ray was retired  :'(

When I called him last spring and ordered my 350T, he mentioned that he wanted to retire.  I thnk he was laying hints "get 'em now, before it stoo late".  This was discussed here:

I'll try next week but I think I should have ordered one 3 week ago. :(
I was waiting for the 50-95 to get here so I could slug it.
Might just have to make do with the Lyman bullet.

See the discussion over on the Spencer threads.  Ray is apparently retiring, and it is said they will only fill current orders!  :(  Too bad, as Ray made several moulds for my .56-56 Spencer Carbine some 25 years ago, and they were great!
