Dutchman195 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Recently my grandfather passed and going through his reloading room. Not sure what this is or who it is made by. Any help would be apperciated. I believe it is some form of priming station for precision rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grendel Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 There also seems to be an adjustebel stop at the bottom, the pinol skrew and bolt (to adjust the missing handle for a purpose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Looks like an early priming tool. I have a later version from RCBS that they acquired from another company - Lachmiller, maybe - not certain at the moment. Yes, there should be a handle attached to the round piece in the base, and a seating stem that the round piece cams to accomplish seating a primer in the case held at the top. That one does not seem to accept shell holders the way later ones did, but maybe - not sure from the photos. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman195 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks everyone. Will see if i can find a handle or fabricate one. Not a rifle guy so ill have to figure out a user for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Here's a photo I found online. It looks slightly different from mine, but still what I was trying to describe. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFRoss Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 That's a Lachmiller priming tool, made before RCBS bought them. Mid 1960s or earlier. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
