    Forster Neck Turning

    I have a Lyman manual case trimmer and the neck turning attachment that goes with it. I use the trimmer to turn the brass necks and I need another pilot. I called Lyman and I was told that the attachment has been obsoleted and parts are not available. Just my luck.

    I see that Forster has a similar setup. Their pilots look similar, they offer a pilot for the caliber I need, but I’m not sure it will fit into the Lyman trimmer. If someone has a Forster neck turner, can you measure and tell me the shaft diameter of the end of the pilot that goes into the trimmer?

    Yay!!! That seems to be the same diameter. I’ll have to order one now.

    Thank you for your help.

    They should be the same. Slightly different shapes on the shaft though but that shouldn't cause any issues.
