So, I found a used Hornady LNL AP with a broken sub plate for $225 and ended up just trading a good amount of bullets for it. I figured that I could get it up and running for about $100 more in parts.
So, when it got here I looked at all the parts it came with to see what I would need to order. Well, it came with extra primer pickup tubes, 8 shell plates, 12 lnl bushings, an extra bullet tray, 4 of the case retainer springs, and a competition pistol powder measure insert. However, I would need a new sub plate, large primer slide, primer tube housing, and primer housing cap.
So, I called up Hornady to let them know what I needed. I explained that I bought the press used and I knew that it had a broken sub plate when I got it. I explained that the other parts were lost and would need to be replaced. They took down my order and already had my information from when I registered my first LNL AP and got the free bullets. So, the parts came in at well over $100 so I asked them if they needed a credit card number. They refused to let me pay for any of it and five seconds after I got off the phone I got an order confirmation email and then shortly after that I got a shipping confirmation email.
Anyway, Hornady did a good job keeping me as a customer. In fact, I think a case feeder is the next item on my list.
