Estate Sale Find

[tchepone]

Found these at a local Estate Sale. I received info about the Corbin from Dave Corbin but still would like some background on the bench mounted priming tool.
So far all I have found is it was called (or made by) Gun Clinic. I would like to find an operators manual and a little background on age, manufacturer, etc.
Photo's attached. (I hope)
Thank you.

I have 2 Gun clinic , Great machine . Flawless in opperation
. You are missing the primer tube. there was a small primer and small size tube, Large prime with large size tube.
Simple to use when set up Complicated to Take apart. The shellholder are @ the bottom Note 2 sided . each Holder was able to due 2 different cartridges. 1 Tube went into the top of the machine The other was used with the "V" funnel to feed Primers Large or small . The spring and the other piece do not go with It
original Price In the late 1960's as unheard of price $25.99.
Good luck On your search to Find parts

Thank you for the reply and information. I do have both primer tubes and 5 shellholder plates. Not sure which spring you are referring to. The unit does function as it should, I primed a few 30-06 with it. It needs a good cleaning and adjusting. I am hoping to find an exploded parts diagram and users manual.

You can get a Repro Rectangle Tube. I do not think There were 2 distinct primer tubes but you can Get a Repro. You can't buy direct but Local hobby shops or possible hardware has them. They are used to make Model Rail Road Ties out of Brass There made By "K&S Precision Metals " located in New York. They are #8266 ( 1 piece per pack ) , rectangle tube 5/32x5/16x.014. That tube will do small primer . Large tube is difficult you must expand the Inside of the tube with a small metal rod just enough to accept a large size prime . Not difficult , If I can do it any anyone can. rod maybe 1/8' diameter , I don't recall
Good luck

That's the Gun Clnic Model 46 Priming Tool. They were made in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. I have the instructions, a fact sheet and a reprint of an article from Precision Shooting magazine, February 1964.

I will get them scanned and posted here as a PDF.

Thank you Ken, appreciated!! Any idea on current value? Just curious, I don't plan to sell this one.

I think the only thing that makes me more sad than a closing retail store is a closing church or an estate sale full of some ol' boy's tools.
