So, my father-in-law passed a few years back and left me with oodles of casting and reloading stuff, which is why and how i got into guns.

however, i've found quite a few pieces i just don't know what they do, perfect example is :

The green tool looks like something from RCBS, a bench mount priming tool perhaps but I don't recognize it. The black and white tools looks like a Neil Jones .22 Rimfire Accuracy Gauge, it measures the rim thickness so ammo can be sorted into lots with similarly thick rims.

I think if you put a male mouse in the white cavity and placed the black gizzie on the top and then operated the lever you'd have a dead mouse. Worst case scenario he would live: but he would not reproduce. Off the top of my head, I don't remember the formula for how much pressure mouse testicles can withstand and not be dysfunctional, but I'm sure Wills can post a link.

xyrth, Scrounger's right about both tools. You may want to ask RCBS whether parts and shell holders are still available for the large, green primer seating tool.

hrm, maybe the two don't go together, and somebody just fit them like that when they packed up my f-i-l.

the green guy is definitely RCBS, here's a picture of the back i didn't post :

the confusing part to me is the PVC & the SBC bronze valve stem guides. he liked to use the bronze guides for a couple things, i have a box of attachments for his rock chucker i may never figure out.

believe it or not, a white mouse lives about 5' away from my bench, but no testicles. she was a feeder mouse for my son's snake that outlived the snake, and just won't die.

that said, i have some ratshot for my .22 i can't seem to find a use for ... hrm ...

next question i have is this ... i have 2 lead melting pots, pictured here :

http://xyrth.com/pictures/Misc%20Gun%20Stuff%20for%20Sale/P1010448%20%5B1024x768%5D.JPG

and here :

http://xyrth.com/pictures/Misc%20Gun%20Stuff%20for%20Sale/P1010449%20%5B1024x768%5D.JPG

they're both labeled the same, but the second is taller, is it just a newer/older model? i'm pretty certain the wood/alum base was added by my F-I-L ...

Thanks

Post pics of the RCBS attachments. The only Rockchucker attachments I know about s the primer catcher and the automatic primer tool. The auto primer will consist of an aluminum block that attaches to the press and two tubes(one for large and one for small primers) usually brass that the primers go in---the tubes can also be aluminum if I remember correctly.

i'll snap some pictures tonight, i'm slowly trying to have a picture and put a name to the tool, for my own education and for selling what i don't need. got a ton done last night, but still have some speed loading stuff, and a big box of lead i need to dig through.

of course, i haven't even touched my tool tools, which are spread across 4 toolboxes now. i need to spend like 3 weeks in my garage :(

The Neil Jones product is a rimfire guage to help keep similar sized shells in a lot seperated by size isn't it?Kinda like using lot numbers is certain runs of ammo?

i plan to tinker with it tonight, i have some labeled .22lr ammo, so i'm hoping i can figure out it. i was actually talking to somebody about this about a week ago, and i've been trying to figure out how my f-i-l measured his ammo, now i know.

The stainless thing on the right side of the photo is a "Sinclar" chamber plug. It is missing the rubber "O" ring (fits into the grove). I can't tell for sure from the photo, but looks like either a 30-06, .270, .280.

Take a look at http://www.sinclairintl.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=PG-WSM&type=store.

actually, i have a handful of these, and i've been wondering their use. it looks like just a plug to protect the barrel? i've been looking for a way to keep my contender barrels clean, i guess you found it in my garage for me :)

The Lee melting pots were/are available in 2 different heights to accommodate different sized moulds, and you are right, the wood and aluminum mould guides were an aftermarket addition.

the shiny bullet looking thing is a chamber gauge, it should be marked on the base as to the caliber. you also have what apear to be reamers and some checkering tools

I agree that the silver object on the right side is a chamber gauge used for checking headspace. If so it should be marked either "GO" or "NO GO" and the caliber. If they [you said you had several] are in fact headspace gauges DO NOT use as a chamber plug. Forcing the action closed on a "NO GO" gauge could gall the lugs and do considerable harm.

The "Y" shaped thing at the lower left looks like a Remington 1100 ejector staking tool - possibly other similar guns?

The yellow handled cutter to cut the muzzle crown?

And the top crooked necked tool - a S&W rebound slide assembly tool?

I'm not a gunsmith by any means, but have needed each at one time or another & to have one would have made life much easier. Was your f-i-l a gunsmith?

I can't imagine what the white PVC piece was for on the RCBS tool in the top photo.

wow, all kinds of replies -- yes, my f-i-l was a gunsmith, at least out of his house.

i figured it out!! all thanks to you guys. it's a speed rim checker -- you can drop a round into it, check rim thickness, slide it back to open and press the lever to pop it out. i'd imagine it made checking thousands of rounds at a time much faster ...

:D course, now i gotta figure out i wanna do with it ... since i'm not all that into the .22's ...

yes, it actually measures the thickness of the shoulder that makes the rim ... it makes perfect sense that a variation in this would lead to a variation in bullet location and throat, and therefor consistency in accuracy.

Adam,

The green tool is a RCBS Automatic Priming Tool. The parts are still available from RCBS. I can e-mail you a schematic if you need one. You are not missing a lot of parts to make it complete back to the original state and RCBS will send you parts for free....

the pvc is an adapter to use the rimfire gage with the rcbs priming tool. It would allow you to put the round in gauge it and then push it out. it would make it much quicker to guage a bunch of rounds. or that is what it looks like to me.

there is a front sight staking tool, asmith and wesson or revolver tools as mentioned earlier.

that would be fantastic -- i may have them laying around and just not know it.

yes, i played with the gauge and some ammo last night, and that's exactly what i figured out. now, i need to figure out how much i care about rimfire ammo :)

The thing in the bag that says Brownells is fixture for turning oversized custom fitted barrel bushings for a 1911.
