Any one know anything about these? I saw one at a gun show and almost bought it but i really didn't need it but it looked really neat. They wanted 75 for it. Did i goof up by not getting it?

I have one.at that price NO.maybe $25.NO DIES.it was made as far as I remember before WW2.It would be possible to use saeco dies if the casting was reamed bigger.maybe.

I had one once, briefly. Unique sizing dies that won't interchange with anything else. And not available anywhere on a regular basis. Looked like they would be pretty easy to make if you had a machine shop. I don't so I got rid of it on eBay. Brought a go price though. There are Lyman, RCBS, Saeco and Star. Best to chose from one of them, unless you just want to fool with the thing.

Never heard of it.
I'll do a google search later on.

There were a couple threads on the Meepos Speedlube here a year or so back, one pretty extensive, IIR. Somebody bought one and cleaned it up; somebody else was thinking about producing an updated version. A search ought to bring them up.

Elmer Keith mentions the Meepos in his book "Sixguns", as I recall. Not sure if there was a picture of it in there or not. Never saw one for real.

I have one of the old Meepos Speedlubers. I like it well enough that I will be having Lathsmith make some more dies for it.

If you Google "Meepos" you will find that all of the useful information is on this site.

I have one and I think its either a take off of star or star copyed it.they both go back into the 1930/40s.mepos also made a small press.I just never saw them when I started.my tools were win and ideal tong tools.It to bad one of the tool companies would not make it as the patents if there were any have run out long ago.:coffee:
