« on: February 04, 2022, 08:27:31 am »

Location : Massachusetts

Selling Terms : Cash, face to face preferred, shipping can be arranged and I can get a quote based on your location

Price : $350 (SOLD)


Description:

1 - Star Machine reloader with 45 ACP toolhead - original carbide resizing die, expander and bullet seating die. No separate crimp die
1 - 3.5 grain BullsEye charge bar - installed
1 - 3.6 grain BullsEye charge bar
1 - 3.2 grain BullsEye charge bar
1 - Large primer slide and tube (installed)
1 - Small primer slide and tube
1 - Primer punch bushing screwdriver (to change the primer slide)
1 - Primer follower (original that will stop the press if there are no primers in the tube)
6 - additional decapping pins
1 - Performance roller handle (installed) - I do not have the original wood handle

Everything is original and it's fairly clean. I've cycled it and everything works as intended with no binding. I have all the paperwork from STAR as to the original purchase but it has no date. From what I can tell, it was purchased in the late 1960's.

Thanks, someone else on this board had called it the "Primer Punch Bushing Screwdriver" and I found that as #51.  The drawing in the picture from the original manual is much different.  Luckily, the estate from which I got these had kept all the original documentation and receipts, so I was able to match everything else up (including the extra 6 decapping pins the person bought and never used).  I was there for 45 ACP brass when they told me to take these too (Luber/sizer and the press in 45ACP).  Based on the documentation, this was bought in 1968 with some very minor usage and then packed away for 50 years.

Thank you very much.  I thought about the possibility that they were part of the accompanying Luber/Sizer but didn't see any info on that one either.

Very much appreciate your reply.

EDIT:  Now I see it :  the 5101 die extractor pieces.  The bullet remover was threaded in the wrong way.

I have searched all over trying to find the answer about what these two parts are.  They came in a box with other items for the press (small primer slide, decapping pins, etc) but I can't figure out the two that aren't the Primer Punch Bushing Screwdriver.

The smaller one has a threaded hole in the top, the larger one is solid.
