I'm overhauling my entire set up between the barn and the house.
I've recently come into the entire stock of two elderly friends.
One wanted to use his gear, but never would at his place, and he knows I'll have a first class set up like a showroom.
The other threw it all in when I bought his 40 year hardware collection... much of which may soon be offered here.
The aggregate collection (so far) is this:
Single stage iron presses RCBS(4) Pacific, Texan, Lyman (one each) presses, three Dillon 550 set ups with conversion kits etc., three bullet lubers, cases of plastic boxes, 50-60 ammo boxes of brass, one Mec Grabber progressive 12 gauge loader, one Posness-Warren 12 gauge progressive 12 gauge, wad shells, lead shot, powder (various)casting pots tools micrometers, scales mechanical and electronic, powder dribblers, small scale powder coating set up, ingot molds, bullet molds, dies, lead, gas checks, cleaning tools and other stuff I've not sorted through yet. And all of this as needed to support 22 Hornet, ,222,.223,.243,.270,.30/30, .308/7,62, .32 win, .35 rem, .338Win Mag, .401 Win, and 45/70....and .380, 9mm,.38/.357,.38/40,.44/40,.41 mag, ,45 ACP, ,45 LC.... and a few cases of factory ammo "if he ran short."
Five full pickup loads and one trailer, and I'm about finished hauling, except for things forgotten in closets or attics, or under beds, which continue to flow slowly in.
I have my work cut out for me, and need to acquire a few vertical files from the office supply place. and complete the bench, rolling tables and overhead storage for lightweight bulk items like shotgun wads.
It will be a couple of months before I get through all this stuff, but obviously I neither need nor want a lot of it.
I'll need to recoup my investment a bit, but will likely pay forward a few blessings on the way.
Sadly most of the hardware all that gear supports..... remains unfired.
So gentlemen stay tuned.
Nothing is for sale...yet.
