Anybody got any tips on how to remove the lead weight from a stripped SS scabbard? It doesn't seem to want to move even though I've stripped all the fittings.

hoel,
Ask Tom Wittman he would know what to do. JME

tap the throat end hard on a piece of wood, use a cleaning jag on a cleaning rod or a large screw soldered on to a rod and screw it into the lead and pull. i have used all these methods with success

Thanks, I was thinking of the second method you proposed, sinking a screw into it and pulling it out, though I feared to mess it up.

The tapping method worked after only 5 brisk taps.
Thanks for the advice.
