As I am sure most of you know, Rick is a great guy. He treated me more than fairly, and went beyond my expectations.

Thank you very much for a heavy box full of sprue plates and accessories Rick. I didn't expect the plates to be in new condition, and I didn't expect for you to send me more than what our deal was for.

Thank you again. You are a fine man.

Yammerschooner:

You've very welcome. One thing I've learned over the years is it's amazing how a little extra can bring great rewards, and your appreciation has proven that.

Glad I was able to help out and THANKS for the business.

While at the Quigley shoot, I bought one of RED RIVER RICK'S Paper Patch moulds for my treasured 50/90 SHILOH SHARPS from Powderburnerr. I PM'd Rick after his coronary problems and mentioned that I'd like to get a flat base plug for the mould. He sent me a FREEBIE even after I asked for a price; time and materiels are precious.

Thanks to a great guy and valuable member of our "family" here at Cast Boolits. We all learned a lot about moulds from his threads here.


Best wishes for your continued and full recovery.

I’ve just completed a deal with Rick & I have to say that he’s a top-notch fellow to work with. Rick stated in his WTS Ad that the mold had a problem. More than once he also told me that he would gladly refund my money if I found that I didn’t like it. I just might take him up on that after I get a lifetime supply cast up:)

FWIW, I had Rick ship the mold to a member of this board to be repaired. The repair was made in short order & now it’s all but impossible to tell that anything was wrong with it.

Thanks again for the great deal!

I ordered a couple pair of mould handles from Red River Rick and the craftsmanship is really first notch. Very recommended!

anyone that appreciates good tools and hasn't used Rick's handles is missing out. They're a far higher quality tool than the issued handles from lyman or lee, and it shows.

FWIW anyone buying handles for lyman moulds should consider picking up a couple replacement sprue plates. If you're going to bite the boolit for shipping it makes sense to me. I have a couple properly vented moulds that were fickle about base fill out. In each instance the additional retained heat and deeper sprue puddle helped.

Nice workmanship. Great guy to do business with. Service faster than expected. Now I know why my RCBS boolits were slightly out of round. The handles were off a little. Boolits nice and round now. One happy camper here. Thanks Rick. Ron.D

A couple of months ago, I bought four sets of Ricks handles. Absolutely the best. I can and will, fully endorse and recommend Ricks products.

Rick, bought a set of dies from me. Communications were prompt and payment arrived when he said it would. I'd be happy to deal with him again at any opportunity.

bought a couple steel cam handles off of KAL and Rick shipped them before even receiving my check in the mail.

Thanks for the Trust, Rick.

I bought handles for Lyman molds, his improved sprue cutoff cam handle for Lee molds, and cam levers / sprue plates for Lyman 4-cavity molds. They are great.

Everything went fine.

I'd do business with him again.

Just got some handles and sprue plates from Rick. Great quality. I already had several, but it is nice to not have to switch. I'll be buying more from Rick.

I have been on this forum now for a while and I have used it extensively to buy and sell all manners of gun related stuff. I have never had as many seamless transactions with as many decent standup guys as I have here. I should have given more credit where it has been due all along, but I will be more diligent in the future I promise. Here is a short list of folks I have dealt with since March and each and every one of these transactions was a pleasure. Thanks guys.

I bought two of the 6 cavity Lee sprue plates from Rick. I was having trouble with the Lee aluminum sprue plates that warped leaving some flashing on the boolit bases. Lee replaced one sprue plate under warranty but they also blamed me in an email before I sent the molds then told me they never accused me of that when they sent the mold back to me with a new aluminum sprue plate. Anyhow, I received the sprue plates from Rick today and ran about 700 boolits to test it out and all of them were great! After using them I'm not too concerned these ones will warp as they are much stiffer than the originals and I'm not getting any lead sticking near the sprue holes like the original did.

Thanks Rick.

I have purchased Rick's sprue plates, sprue cutter handle and handles for the lee six cavity moulds and they are great. If you add Rick's steel sprue plate and new sprue cutter handle to Lee's excellent six cavity mould you now have a super 6 cavity mould for around $90cn. or around 65 US$. I also purchased his replacement sprue plate for Lyman's 2 cavity mould. It is thicker than the original and will have less of a tendency to warp. I plan on replacing all of my Lyman sprue plates with Rick's as well as all my older RCBS moulds with the thinner plate. His handles are also great for the lee moulds.

Thanks Rick

I did some trading with Rick, and I must say, he is an absolute pleasure to do business with. I'm switching out all my Lee 6 cavity aluminum sprue plates with the ones from Rick, and instead of feeling like 40 dollar molds, my Lee molds now feel like 150 dollar molds. Fit and finish is just perfect, the same goes for the handles. I'm looking forward to my next transaction with Rick.

Thank you.
