OK a few of you may have seen this on our favorite auction sight.
I recently acquired a "Stout Rapid Reloader" in 12 Gauge. These are set up for loading fiber wad. Which is great, I load fiber wads for one of my 12 Ga. Does anyone have a manual for these or anything? I have been looking online for a while now with not much luck. Funny part is I did find the Estate Auction that the guy I got it from found it at, small world. Not to many of these out there. From what I can gather there was only a few years in the early 60's these were made, maybe 700 of them. Mine is SN 1089 which I would bet is the 89 one made. its built like a tank all machined not stamped parts.
Obviously my plan is to get it up and running again. I am going to do it with a twist though. The fiber wad loads I do are in the magtech all brass shells. So I have a hobby lathe and will be making new parts to accomplish what needs to be done. It should be fun. Life of course will not let this happen very fast though so I will update when I can if there is interest. I can post pics if people want them too.
