Parts left over from somone else's project. I tried to contact RCBS about the parts to make a whole press, but after 3 emails with no response, I gave up.
Besides selling, what are yalls suggestions??

I’m not sure there’s enough there to finish making anything. You seem to have extras of some parts and to be missing others. Sorry, but that doesn’t look like it could become any RCBS press with which I’m familiar. Maybe pressman will recognize your parts.

Missing way to many hard to find parts, sell them
That's the sort of thing I put a part from on my desk and wait for someone to ask, "What's that"?
You could make a base and ram.
That'd more or less get you most of the way towards making a single stage press for .50BMG.
Getting it back to a ammo master progressive--- its missing too many parts to be worth while.

So, I recognize it's not a complete press, I'm asking the hive mind for help in what I CAN make. Can I get a ram, and fab some cheap base and make......I dunno.
Just looking for ideas.

Looks like a few miscellaneous parts from 2 presses, but hardly enough to make a complete press. The "essential" parts are missing like linkage and rams...
My Anchor is holding fast!
The basic functions of a press is too simple to reduce, each part is as necessary as any other. One of the big parts you're missing is the frame.
There's no doubt you could use those parts on something but what you could "make" while using some of them depends on your shop equipment and mechanical abilities and we don't know that.
Parts from two RCBS Rock Chuckers. Not worth purchasing missing parts piecemeal. Look at a parts diagram for a Rock Chucker if you want to know what you're missing.

Keep the handles, the rods (columns) and screws and throw the rest in the dumpster. Not much there I can see worth fixing up. People will buy darned near anything these daze....try evilbay.
You might try to refit those toggles to fit the old Pacific C frames. Those were (are) tough and there are a lot of them out there.
If you have a lathe, the handles could be used for about any press and the rods are round stock for any number of projects. The nuts in the plates could be made to fit other presses if 7/8x14 inside.

Those parts all appear to be from an RCBS Ammomaster, or two. It can be set up for 7/8-14 dies or for the big guys, like 50 BMG. It appears you are just missing the base, of which I have an extra, and a ram. I can't imagine you can't source a ram from RCBS, or any self-respecting machinist could make one. My base is a little loose and in my opinion would need to have bushings installed top and bottom, and you could have it for shipping cost.
As for my suggestion, email RCBS. They have good customer service, but they are limited because of their state government.
