Reloading press project:Good new Bad news
So as I am sure some of you saw my post from several weeks ago looking for a Ponsness Warren P-200 turret press. I was unable to find one but while looking for one I found out about the Hollywood SR Turret press.Currently I just have a Rock Chucker and having an affinity for older machinery combined with wanting to speed up my .40 S&W and .30 Carbine production.I was able to find a Hollywood SR press on GunsAmerica and bought it (to then see a P/W P-200 go up on Ebay 5 days later oh well) I got the Hollywood SR for $300 + $45 shipping which I thought was a fair price. It is a 8 hole turret set up for 10 & 12ga shotgun reloading with all the dies,powder,and shot measure etc for shotshell reloading so I know I am going to have to get adapters and a universal shell holder from C&H
The lone pic on the ad was ok but figured I would tear the press down strip the old paint and then repaint it so I could put my stamp on it so to speak.I ordered paint and stripper which arrived a day earlier then the press.
The press arrived today and now time for the good and bad news.
THE GOOD NEWS: The press looks friggen great!!!! Original paint looks almost like new and the bare metal parts just needed cleaning and a little wire brush work to remove old dried on lubricant.I partially disassembled it and took care of this and it operates beautifully now.
THE BAD NEWS: Now I am stuck with $50 worth of paint stripper and spray paint I cant use. lol I dont want to mar this great factory finish that still looks great. ANY of you need some paint for a project?
I have a quart of Rust-Oleum aircraft paint stripper
1 Can of Rust-Oleum high heat engine spray primer.
1 Can of Rust-Oleum Silver Hammered high heat engine spray paint
1 Can of Rust-Oleum Gloss Black high heat engine spray paint
2 cans of Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss high heat engine spray paint
Let me know if you need some paint and enjoy the pics
