Hollywood gun shop senior turret

[Kevin Rohrer]

If you have an extra Super Turret setting around, I would be interested in buying it.

Have had it in my watch list, since it was listed. Curious, as to what it sells for. I already have one in almost new condition. Take notice of the plum colored turret. Never seen one like this. It hasn't been refinished because I know the providence of this particular press. Was originally purchased by my BIL's father, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in the 70's. He used it exclusively for 12 gauge shotshell reloading. Sat in their basement for all those years, till I recently obtained it. All the holes are tapped for 1 1/2 inch dies.

Wine what are the holes in the side of the turret where the die holes are? Set screws? Also that turret looks thicker then an original Hollywood turret if those are CH press top bushings when screwed all the way down a little would be coming out of the bottom of the turret.That turret might not be an original Hollywood.

I wanna be Team Hollywood too dammit lol

If you're using the Beasts and/or collecting them, or making parts for folks, and/or educating them- well, you're Team Hollywood!

[Digger]

And I was just going to ask that very same question ...
one Hollywood senior owner (newby !) .....

Ha Ha, I don't know, but I sure might be interested. I need to get a couple of the universal shell holders ordered. I have several hollywood shell holders, but not for all calibers.

Star, DO you need the shell holder, nut and collet? Or just the shell holder?

Wine, Is that patina or some type of coating. My Super turret has goldish? colored turret and parts. I have quite a few senior turrets from Hollywood Gun Shop but never saw that colored version. Me likes it !!!

I have quite a few different shell holders with the nuts. What I need to get is the universal adapter, so I can use rcbs style standard shell holders.

CH4D sells those for $12 or so http://www.ch4d.com/products/equipment/presses/407190

Thanks for the link. I had looked for them on their sire before, but didn't find them.

I have a box of shell holders / no nuts on the shelf Star. $10.00 each plus actual shipping. They will allow you to use the RCBS shell holders or others. snap in self centering.

The holes are indeed for set screws, to keep the bushing in place, after adjustment. The thickness of the turret is .889 inches. I have 4 original Hollywood flanged bushings (1.185" thick) and 4 CH unflanged bushings (1.372" thick). They all will extend bellow the bottom of the turret, if you so choose.

The turret is steel, hence a magnet will stick to it. However, it could be a different type and thus accepted the bluing process, differently. It's definitely not a patina, it's too uniform and quality is on par with the rest of the unit. I'm pretty sure is original, just a variation. This is to be expected, since they were hand made, not mass produced.

Winelover, I agree with you, I believe that your Father in law stripped the paint off the turret and re blued it gone gone wild.

Here's why; the Bren Ten pistols from the eighties while only less than a 1000 were made, some of those slides and parts came out plum colored.

I may even have one in the safe, but they are all buried, as well as the safe!

[Pressman]

The purple color that sometimes shows up when bluing is a result of hard steel and the bluing salts not mixed correctly. That is really hard steel. The bren 10 slides would be a great example as are some rifle receivers.

Is there any interest in Team Hollywood t-shirts? I'm thinking of doing a run if I can drum up enough people to make it feasible.

[Jim Kitchen]

Anyone who loves Hollywood equipment is a member of Team Hollywood. Owning one just means you get to learn the secret handshake.

[LUBEDUDE]

I'd be up for a couple of shirts!
