Sounds like a deal to me. I'd consider buying it and trying it out to learn few things then offing it if it doesn't work out.

Honestly…….by that setup, find out what small parts it needs, and hold onto it all in off chance you’ll start reloading. That’s the press I started with and still own, and I paid WAY more than 500 in 2012 when I bought mine.

Spent some time Sunday moving steel and spreading the gravel on the new training range on the farm.

30yd X 30yd in size, 3/8 gravel for the surface, and roughly 4-5 pallets of steel targets from the guys at ShootSteel.com should keep practice rolling

Celebrated the new range with a new match rifle built with all the best parts….then quietly walking it out of my office to take home.

That's a great price! Looks like a Dillon 550??? The die sets alone are worth the $500. Interchangeable heads.......tumbler.....spare parts kit......someone needs to snatch this up!

i was thinking the same! if nothing else one should buy it and keep the dies and sell off the rest and make a profit

sounds like you're tempting me into another bad decision!

I thought about picking it up to trade for a firearm

You certainly could!.......maybe 2.

Looks dangerous. You might consider employeeing an RSO.

I might know somebody.

My CMP 1911 number should come up in about a week and a half. In about 2 weeks, I should finally have it. Submitted my paperwork in Sept.

Well, the 1911 finally got here. It 's a 1943 Remington Rand that went thru a rebuild at Aniston in 1987. I will do FOIA request to see if I can learn anything interesting.

Years ago, I had the same one. I just change the slide and competition barrel. I don’t remember where I got the parts.
my son still has it today !

My son has an Original Colt that came off the USS Yorktown at the Battle of Coral Sea. No rebuild 1911 and all original. Grandpa gave it to him before he died......Wyatt shoots it and functions great!

Picked up a Pro Match Ultra RIA 1911 45acp today at the GS. Took 'er to the range and put 200rds through it.....gotta say it's a shooter! RIA has a custom shop called Medallion....slide, barrel, bushing and other parts hand-fit. The barrel/bushing fit is nice and tight.....no play to the frame/slide fit.....shot really well with my handloads. Adjustable LPA rear sight with fiber optic front. Will get some pics tomorrow and post 'em up!

 

[BS67]

Here's the pics I promised. Its not a fancy 1911 but its a shooter!

Looks nice. Sorta stinks these days that actually shooting them costs so much.
