    WTB Lee Machine Pistol Rest Inserts & copy of instruction manual

    Looking for handgun inserts [Contender, Ruger BH and Colt Single Action in particular]

    Also need a copy of the instruction/manual.

    Does it use the same inserts as the Ransom rest?

    I have a set of Contender inserts for a Ranson rest I have no use for.

    Yes, not the same as a Ransom Rest but usable for my pressure testing purposes.

    Larry, I have a ratty set of instructions somewhere that I can iron out and photocopy if I can find them. Drop me a PM and we can make arrangements to ship or send electronically if that would fill your need. I have only one BH insert I believe and need to keep it long term, but it is available for loan to you. Unfortunately, I don’t own a Colt SA insert and I’ve never even seen one for the Contender, although I believe I’ve seen it on the list included in the instructions.

    I did. The rest was made by Lee Custom which hasn't been in business for many years. Apparently there was a falling out of some sort back then? Current Lee Precision didn't seem to want to discuss the rest.

    Larry,
    This has been discussed somewhat in the Lee Loader Forum. Apparently Richard Lee was the moving force behind the first company (Lee Custom) but got tired of fighting with the other board members so went off and started Lee Precision. The pistol rest was introduced by LC which later became Mequon… you might find it labeled either way. Without Richard Lee’s genius, Lee Custom/Mequon folded fairly quickly taking the pistol rest and a couple of other good products down with them. I especially regret the loss of the little hand priming tool with screw in holders!

    PS How’s the search going? Were you able to use the ad page I found for you?
