    Does anyone recognize what these parts are?

    I got these two items in with a batch of reloading and casting equipment, and not sure what they are? Anyone recognize what these may fit?
    Item#1



    Item#2

    Pictures three and four are of a Lyman sizing (H&I) die. Don't know about the others.

    actually 3,4,&5 are all the same item and it looks like some sort of neck die as there's just about enough room for a case neck but i have no clue as to what it nor the shouldered threaded blind pin is for ,i also cant quite make out all the stampings in the top ( not that it'd help me per say ..) the screw/pin looks hauntingly familiar

    The last pic is a sizing die for muzzleloader bullets. I had one in .575 for a 58 cal. Hawken I once owned.

    Sorry I relabeled the pictures. It is just 2 different items and pics 3, 4, and 5 are the same item.

    Uniquedot, thanks for the info. Do you know who sells these .575 sizing dies?

    I never knew the maker and it's been at least 20 years since I owned it. The guy I bought it from was a competitor and he guaranteed it's accuracy, but I never did ask him who the maker was.

    I have one of th .575 sizing dies - used it for sizing .58 caliber Minie Balls for rifled musket. Never had the punch for it though as for a Minie Ball, you'd need a profiled punch to fit the hollow base to push it through nose first.

    The last I looked - Dixie Gun Works and Lodgewood Mfg. both carried this type of punch - don't know who makes them though. If I remember correctly, they are pretty reasonably priced.

    In the post about rehabbing a Redding br powder measure there are photos that show a part that looks very similar to what's in photo #1. I believe it adjusts the drum from light loads to heavy loads.

    Thanks Janoosh. I took a look at that thread, anwhile it does look very similar it is much smaller. This one is roughly the size of the sizing die, also posted above, about 3" long and 1" in diameter.

    Bugged me for a couple of days, as I knew I had one or two of them around.
    Go out to the garage to do some rust repairs...
    Mandrel for a cut-off wheel for a die grinder.
    Are they left hand threads?

    looks to be regular right hand tighten from my angle anyways , but i have arbors for grinders/buffing wheels that come in both threads ( depending upon which side of the motor it goes on or which way the motor turns ( some are reversible and some arent ) )

    Thanks for the input everyone. Don't really know that I have any real use for either item, but had to see what they might be.
