I melt lead to cast bullets for my muzzle loading rifle, have been doing it for years. I have only background traces of lead in my body, just like everyone else on earth. I place my waste in ziplok bags and ship them with the garbage. Those plastic bags will not biodegrade before the world ends, and I do not believe the world will end. You are not dealing with lead anyhow. The frame metal is most likely a zinc alloy and will not harm you. If it is not zinc based, then it will be a bismuth alloy, also not a threat to life around you. If you are concerned about poisons in your life, take an oxygen bottle with you when you drive your vehicle so you do not breath automotive exhaust. Or eat only natural grains instead of the chemically treated cereals the rest of us ingest. I do hope you live forever. I will not. No matter what I do, the day will come when people stand and tell lies about what a great guy I was, and then plant me in the ground. Too bad I can't take my trains with me. <br /> <br />Tom <br />
