Hoping to get back into reloading with the collection of spare parts and presses I've picked up over the years. My best bet looks to be a Lyman American four position turret, for which I need a handle and J to X shellholder adapter.
For the handle, I'll probably just beg a bit of bar stock from a machinist friend (unless one turns up here!) but I absolutely need a J to X shellholder adapter. Backordered everywhere, I'm hoping that I can find one here. Found one on facebook of all places.
That same machinist is going to blow out and re-thread one or more presses for me. I'd love to convert the Lyman to a L-N-L hybrid turret with bushing adapters, and need three more of those.
Edit: I had one bushing adapter, so I've drilled and tapped one hole in the Lyman and am up and running with Lock-N-Load fitted dies. The other holes I'll leave for a powder throw and universal decapper, unless I do find three more adapter bushings.
So how 'bout it peeps? Please let me know if there are these press parts rattling about eastern Massachusetts.
