Looking for a harder, swaging press, retainer nut

[rbuck351]

The upper die (punch) is held in with a 5/16 fine thread bolt 2 1/4"long. Do you have the threaded piece that fits in the top of the press?
The CH uses a 1 1/16" dia shaft threaded 18 tpi in the top of the press. The Luger press uses a 7/8 14 threaded shaft. The CH has a 1/2" hole through the center with a tube 1/2" OD x 5/16" ID to shim it down for the 5/16 bolt that secures the top punch. My Luger press was missing that shaft so I made one from a piece of 7/8 x 14 and drilled a 5/16 hole through the center.

I suspect my Luger American is the one that Herter copied.

Cast Pics? For us newbies.

Sponsor, their link is at the bottom of the page.


Lots of great stuff @ Castpics.

And the link to the right of Castpics is worth a tiptoe through

No I do not have the punch holder as they call it According to swag o matic instruction sheet
A reload die screws in there I have a old size die I can make to work for that so all I need to find or make is the collar for holding the die in the ram

Thank you 15meter. I have nothing on castpic on my page and I tried the sponsor page. I finally found it in some of the past threads.
Just a thought. Do we all see the same pages?

I assumed everyone saw the same page, for me, if I arrow down to the bottom of the page, there are clickable banners for Cast Bullet Association, CastPics, Cast Bullet from LASC and a couple of others.

Be aware I think the CastPics site is not being maintained fully. I believe it is a private/personal site and maintenance and upkeep on a website can get to be a pain.

A lot of the private sites like that wear down the people who first put them up. Between the hackers, the arm chair critics and the changing technology, the owners get to be like the guy banging his head on the wall. When asked why he was doing it, his response was because it feels so good when he quits.

The bottom of my page has-Contact us, Cast Boolits Home, Archive, Privacy Statement and Top.
I would have thought they would be the same?

For me, right above that I have a mailing address then above that, 5 clickable banner ads on two lines.Castpics is one of the choices. Weird.

Can't figure out how to take a screen shot on this tablet. If I could I'd post it.
