Is MP Molds service reliable?

I've been selling some of my toys so I can buy some MP molds. They out of Europe. If I place an order with them, I'll receive dies within a reasonable amount of time, yes? Thanks for your affirmations.

I am pretty sure most of us here order direct. Shipping is very quick, usually a week to 10 days, sometimes alot quicker. Shipping to the US will run in the neighborhood of $25 - $35 roughly. If your order is over 299 Euro, shipping is free. I have no hesitation about ordering from MP again. Hope this puts you at ease.

My experience with MP service, it’s very reliable. And shipping is almost spooky fast. The moulds are works of art!

I have a set of MP handles. They work as they should, but in my opinion they offer no particular advantages over Lee handles.

Machine tooling, which a bullet mould more or less is, coming out of Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, etc all seems to be top notch. Of course some of them may be back in the USSR v2.0 soon...

I have one set of MP handles and not enamored with them. They seem a bit wider, when installed, than RCBS or Lee's. My first preference is RCBS or Red River Rick's handles. Lee's are pretty good handles, though.

Hi,
I use the LEE Handles, as you can see in my pic.

The wood part usually gets loose, with use and all you need to do is take some regular...

Gorrilla Glue and glue it and it is NOT coming off.

Roughen and clean shanks before glueing.

Used to drill and pin and is not really needed with that Glue now!

Buy without worry.

I live in New England USA. I get quicker delivery from MP then I can ordering out of Texas, Tennessee or Michigan!!!

My single complaint is he wont answer emails.

But the product is second to none in function and beauty. I always buy brass from MP.

Best of luck with yours.

I've only had good experiences about buying/receiving MP molds (that were in stock) direct from Slovenia. Some of the group buys or just waiting for him to produce molds that are not in stock, can take months...many months.

I suspect the email issue is probably related to language barriers. He sells to many different countries, and while many Europeans are multilingual out of necessity, there are limits to everything. His email service may simply be poor or non-existent too.

OP- I have several (6+) of Mihas moulds, and wouldn't hesitate to order more from him as long as his shipping doesn't go through Russia or Ukraine:).

He speak English very well!
I have had several phone call conversations with him.
He just spends his time making molds in the shop not much “desk time”
Very small shop and he is lead machinist!!

i think he has a helper or a part time helper now anyway.

personally i would only order what he has on the shelf, same as NOE.
You pinned it Fiver if they have it buy it if not accurate!!
I just finished 20# of 357 and 44 SWC’s out of my new accurate molds and they are mighty fine!!
Both cast spot on and just roll out when opened.
Lots of good choices these days!!
