I have recently Taken some Photo's and I will post them as soon as I can. The press was purchased from a benefit sale [no e-mail]@ an armory with other old Ideal armory equipment and Civil war items several years ago. All of the other Items were sold by me but I kept the press and used it to load 30/06 . It has wilson dies and the powder measure works fine. But missing the primer feed.  It must have been used by the armory early on because all the 30/06 cases that were in the box had 1917 to 1920,s head stamps .So far the only thing I done to it was to degrease the machine to free it up  for use

KEN
Your last reply was very helpful. I went to the machine tonight and dismantled the primer area There is a square metal plate that covered the primer groove. In that groove there is a brass piece with a slot cut [no e-mail]@ to guide primers appox 1.25 "long. This was completely covered by this plate . On top of this plate there is a now a make shift metal wall brace. both pieces cover the primer area . When I got the machine I recall it was mounted on the bottom and to an l shaped plank. It looks very professional and original but i relize now it was later done by the armory  and eliminate the primer device
 I also e- mailed eaglemike is he has parts
Thanks

Ken
Thanks again for the info.This is clearly not there on my machine. It appears to be blocked off or removed . Can you answer the following : did this priming device hold multiple primers as in a tube, tray or placed one by one
                did this piece slide over and drop primer into position
                did this self index or manual
                 cou;d this priming device be used in loading both pistol and rifle primers
Do you know of any photo showing this
Thanks Sal Palazzo

That's exactly how this die work's . The top has a spring loaded decapping pin rod assembly. No shell holder as per say . From the photo in Sharpe book There appears to be a chain hanging in front and a rod in back to eject the finished round . Is that correctand do you know that the chain was for.
Thanks

Thanks Ken , for the info concerning parts . The machine sits with L.E.Wilson die marked 30/06  in the first station. The second station has a .30 cal expander top  ( not marked). The bullet seater looks identical to the Wilson but not marked. The armory where I got this from had no pistol range but had a 100 yard indoor rifle range.It might have been a special order or the diie's were later fitted by the  armory.

Can any member supply any info or photo on the star straightline. Other than the bad photo in Phil Sharpe's book, I cannot find any other. I purchased this one  many years ago from an armory in NYc . Caliber 30/06 . I Feel It's complete and still load on it But i have nothing to compare . Does any drawing showing parts or close up photos exist
