I need a handle for an older grey Lyman 450. This is the kind where the SizerLuber handle stub is threaded and the Handle has a threaded hole on the end.
I need one because I got a super deal on one without a handle.

Can it be upgraded to the newer model handle?
I don’t know. Who does know?Quote:

Someone has replaced the part from a RCBS sizer.

If you can't find an original, let me know. I owe a couple of favors around here anyway. Figure out the TPI and the diameter and I can turn you one.
Dsh1106 has what I need. He texted a photo to me.Quote:

Thank you for being willing to help!
I broke mine similarly when I was younger and dumber. Called Lyman and they offered me up the exact same thing, upgrades a 450 to a 4500 it seems. The new arrangement is a lot better in all respects and was easy to install.Quote:

Believe it or not Lyman said they had part and sent it no charge , guess what they screwed up and sent new model handle . I called and asked what good is this as there is no way this goes on my 450 . Guess it does after saying they would make it right ,they sent upgrade parts (again) no charge !
