Stemming from an ongoing project, I spoke with Robert Warrick, owner of C&R Gunship since 1979.
A pleasant conversation with a very nice man about guns, hunting, etc ensued.
The bottom line is he told me he will make any size Saeco Lubri-Sizer sizer die, complete with internal plunger rod, for about $75, shipped. Given that the OEM sizer dies are sold at Midway and elsewhere for about $45 plus shipping, a little less than $30 for a custom size die is a pretty good deal.
I have not seen any of Rob Warrick's work; he was recommended to me by Redding. As he's managed to make a good living as a gunsmith since 1979 and was recommended by Redding, I assume he knows his business.
Anyways, the contact info:
C&R Gunship
444 Niagara Avenue NE Albuquerque
NM 87107
Phone: 505-345-1773
BTW, he mentioned he's 80 years old now. While he sounded sharper than a lot of people I have to deal with every day, I wouldn't wait another ten years to order a custom sizer die from him.
