Greetings,

Star did not use Stainless Steel for the drop through bushing.

I would double check the fit of the bushing.

Should be 0.750" diameter and, I forget, 1.000" long.

The Brass bushing could be used as a guide for the case tubes entering the feeder housing.

Cheers,

Dave

The stainless bushing is tapered, the brass bushing is not. The brass bushing fits in the horizontal plunger hole in the case feeder, but since it's hollow, I'm not sure if it goes with the case feeder.

Probably right on the drop through bushing. Picture not really clear showing the taper.
 I tried to use the grid for sizing.
Good eye.

Greetings,

Top photo, item on top right. This is a HyCar washer for the Star Greaser.

Sleeve at bottom is the tapered drop bushing that goes into the base of the Star at the last station. It was used to allow 38 Special rounds to fall through the base into a collection bucket under the bench.

Seating and crimping was all done in one operation at the previous station.

The other sleeve is a bit of a mystery...

Cheers,

Dave

Fairly confident in saying they are not press parts. I do not recognize at all.  Lubrisizer: maybe, do not know.
Bruce Williams (RBWillNJ) on this site, is able to tell you conclusively.
good luck!

I have 3 parts that I think go with either my Star press of my Star resizer/lubricator. The AA battery in the pics is for scale. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Who did you receive this text from? A member here?

When I asked for their identity on the forum it was not given.

1- 4-2-3 -6-2-1- 3-1-4-1 was the number the text originally was sent from.

I called and it had a Google assistant.

Just stay vigilant
