I have one I "refurbished" that I traded from a freind here on this sight. Use it for 9mm bullets. It is now mounted on a 1" alum block for a Lyman cartridge heater.

I wouldn't mind finding another deal like that for another winter project.

I have one too. I picked it up to try a different lube; I didn't want to empty out my LAM II. I got it for $25, it the original box!

I use mine for low stress applications with soft lube. I really like mine.

I have three of them. I have sized tens of thousands of boolits on them. The only problem was if you stressed them to much, it would tweak the guide rods. They are now resting in a box somwhere in my cellar as I went to the new model.

"Refurbished" is a SLIGHT understatement ! :)

VERY NICE job!

You bet, I've got two of them. First one cost $10.00 spent $15.00 on the second, this within the last 4 years. Best $25.00 I spent for lubing.

Refurbished both of the with the new piston and rod.
