Hulme M2 top plate

[angus6]

What calibers are they for ?

I had an M2 once upon a time, I thought it was the same as an M3.   I don't have one any more to compare.

Does the M2 have the recess for 38 special?

I found an M2 on one of my Stars set up for 45ACP.  I compared it to an M3 and they
are Identical.

Finally found  where I set my calipers hole dia. was the only thing different on the feed end of things, M2 has a 20 thousand smaller hole. Top of the body is stepped down on both ends of the hole. This makes 3 different shaped tops so far

I'm thinking the M2 is just an earlier version of the M3, not a different type.

Greetings,

Any possibility that one top plate has clearance for the 45 Auto Rim and/or the 45 Colt?

Cheers,

" The Mark IIIA is equipped to handle eight ( calibers.  .38 ACP, .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, .357 Mag., .41 Mag., .44 Mag., .45 Colt Long, and .30 Cal. M1 Carbine."
I hope this helps.

This plate did come with a machine that was set-up for 38/357 - 41 mag

OK, but that's not a magnum top plate unless it's been modified.   I have had a number of M3 top plates that have been milled out to accept magnum cases.
