Bair 150

[liliysdad]

When my father passed away a couple of years ago, I rounded up all of his reloading stuff, including his Bair 150. I have begun using it, and so far have loved it. I remember sizing and depriming on this press when I was very young...and the memories it brings back are priceless.

That being said...I have the complete priming system, including tubes, but the post on the priming arm is broken. Does anyone have a clue where I might be able to obtain a replacement?

Can you post pics? It may be something that has to be made. Bairs are not common, and the priming parts are less common unless it uses the universal priming post.

[liliysdad]

I can post a couple, probably tomorrow. I havent even taken it apart to see if its something I can make, just wanted to see if there was some trove of Bair/Pacific parts I was unaware of.

It may be similar to a Pacific 155145602 You can find parts for these.

[liliysdad]

I believe it is similar/identical to the Pacific Pro Deluxe...its a very heavy O-frame press.

Are you missing just the vertical primer post? If so, it should be an easy fix.

Yes, its just the threaded(?) post itself, I have everything else, including five primer tubes. Like I said, i havent even taken it apart to look at it yet, I cant see it being a very complex part.

Thank you for the help.

good luck with your bair press, old tooling being used again for loading makes all of us tooling collectors smile.

very good looking pair of presses you have there

Hi,
Yes, my RCBS A2, and my Bair Kodiak 150 are my favorites!!!

Caught here loading 5.56 for my AR-15!

the threaded post should be standard. Take one off any priming arm and screw it in. Or call CH4D for new ones.
