Tim Skinner, previously Skinner sights, is now making a reloading/swaging press. I found him on eBay and invited him to come over. Lets give him a good welcome if he shows up.

I saw one of his presses on ebay, looked pretty impressive.

When you say previously of skinners sights, that doesn't mean no more skinner sights does it.

Yes, it does. He stated he was sick and unable to make them so he sold the company. Now feeling better and making reloading presses.

Don't know anything about the company to whom he sold the sight business.

His sites were an awesome product, I'm sure any build he puts his hand to will be top notch.

I'm working on my presses. I like them and hope others will also.

I sold my sight business to Andy Larsson a year ago last August. He is a minister, gunsmith, and great machinist. I've known him for 30 years and can't say enough good about him. Andy has the skinnersights.com website and is doing a great job.

My two grown sons are helping with the press endeavor. They are great craftsmen and it is a lot of fun working with them. We have agreed that quality and customer service are as important as a great press design. Our website (skinnerpress.com) is up, but still in it's infancy. It will get more useful in time, but you can buy a press there now.

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for looking.

That is one solid looking press. Looks like it would be great for swaging as well as reloading.

Welcome! The world of reloading can always use a better press, just as the world in general can always use a better mouse trap.
