Just got a big reloading rig and could anyone....

[Guest Jennings382]

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ALL THIS STUFF IS?

I just took all of this in on trade and am almost cluless. My grandfather used to reload and he kinda showed me what some stuff was but other than that I'm clueless. Although....I do know the expensive price tag along with the equipment.

WHAT IS ALL OF THIS STUFF?

Looks like you have parts of a Lee Anniversary Kit. The press in the middle on the small bench is definitely a Lee aluminum press. The item mounted above the press is a powder thrower, you put your powder in the red plastic cylinder and use the graduated aluminum sleeve on the left to adjust how much powder each stroke of the little handle comes down from the small funnel. The two red cylinders to the right of the press are dies for pistol or rifle. You can look on the side of the sizing die and it should tell you what calibers. There should be some shell holders in those containers as well.

The little silver and black item next to the die containers is a Lee Auto Primer. You put primers in the black tray and attach your case to it using a shell holder and press the primers in.

Price for a new Lee Anniversary Kit is currently 89.00 at Midway but I got one for 59 two years ago. There should be a set of beam scales somewhere. MidwayUSA - Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Anniversary Kit

Looks like you have some shell boxes below the middle bench as well for putting completed loads in. Did he leave you any old reloads in there?

I'm not real familiar with shotgun reloading presses but the jumble of stuff on the wood bench to the left looks like a shot gun progressive of some sort but does not look complete. Since you have a bag of shotgun shells below the middle bench I would say he reloaded shotgun as well. I think its missing some components though like the powder and shot containers.

You have the makings of a basic reloading bench. Someone else can weigh in on the shotgun reloading.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH RIGHTWINGER.

Any time. If you want some more details, get in a little closer on the items you have questions on. I'm very familiar with the Lee stuff and I'm sure someone can assist on the press on the left. It looks like pretty standard stuff.

[Rightwinger]

See if this item looks like what you have for the shotgun rig. You'll see why I say it looks like its missing some of the containers. They may just not be attached right now. You have any components in the drawers or out of view?

That would be it. And yes, some of the containers are gone.

So you ask us what all this stuff is, and then instead of offering it here for sale, you put it up on the other website(that cannot be mentioned here) for sale?

Dude, you got screwed! I'll give you $25 for all that stuff. Tell you what...I'll even drive out there, pick it up, AND take you to lunch.

Jennings, this is not the first time that you've tried to bypass the requirement of being a TGO Benefactor to post things for sale. I suggest that you either dig into your sofa cushion and find $25.00 to become a Benefactor and do it the right way or that you cut it out before you're removed from TGO completely.

Thanks.
