Gov. Lee's actions; background checks, call for Red Flag Law
Lsparks replied to DO-TN's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Very appropriate moniker Worriedman. I just read thru what you posted and this is VERY CONCERNING to say the least. I despise politics but am I decidedly conservative leaning. This bill and most red flag laws should concern everyone that believes in due process and 2nd amedment rights. When one stops to think just how easy it might be to falsely accuse someone of mental instability, and the ease at which “proof” can be obtained in our electronic, data driven culture, this is a serious concern. I briefly googled HHS view on accessibility of one’s HIPPA protected medical records and see that HHS supports full access to one’s records and this is given the green light from the AMA as well. This is a serious concern ! Anyone of us at any given time in life, may well have been prescribed a multitude of medications by any type of GP or Family doctor that are used daily by psychiatrists. Whether it was a short term Rx for a benzodiazepine for an acute stressor in life or something like an SSRI ot SSNRI for depression or anxiety. Additionally, there are many medications that are prescribed for legitimately off label uses that may imply the issue is mental when in fact it might be something purely physical. My point being, all it will likely take little effort to substantiate a claim for instability, considering all your prescription history is available to the law enforcement that is wishing to support the order. I am in the healthcare industry and have provided care for a variety of individuals. My conservative guesstimate without looking at any source of statistics would be that fully 50% of our US population has likely received an Rx for some medical condition that might “imply” mental instability. I cant begin to even list the meds that might be used against someone but they are common. Additionally, how many of us at one point in our lives have been diagnosed as having depression !!! Successfully treated or not - this could very well be used against us ! I certainly would not depend on politicians or lawyers to understand ANYTHING about medicine. I don’t like where this is going. I intend to make some phone calls today and encourage all to do so. I don’t even know who to call for my geographic region but I’m gonna find out and encourage everyone else to as well. -
Sold !

UPDATE: I spent 15 minutes cleaning and here are some snaps after clean up. If this doesn’t relieve any hesitations, then you are as ignorant as myself and should not buy ! Kinda joking but not really. Also I noted on the body of the press it says Dillon 550 RL. The manual that came with it says 450 RL. Apparently the 550 is newer and eliminates an issue the 450 had. The superficial rust was removed easily with oil cloth and some elbow grease. Cylinder moves freely and smoothly. I do have a vids showing the operation of the cylinder via the handle. I can text them to someone who would be interested but I am unable to hear A

Again, zero clean up. The primer feed is more “gunk” than rust and if u scrolli, you can see. I’ll go wipe it down and see if can give u comparison photo.
-
I’ll try add a few more but the others I took wont load as files are over 8mb or something like that I will say that after wiping lightly with an oil cloth the freckling is mostly gone. lemme see if I can take more pics that I can load.
-
I was asked if there was rust present and thought might as well answer here and post a few different pics to illustrate. main post was simply pulled from box with zero clean up. still no clean up and here is the press laid against white background in sunlight. I would describe it as having a light freckling of rust on the handle on a few various parts (not sure what the parts are).

Bought at auction. Always thought I’d want to reload but know I’ll never get around to it. Was told everything to reload was present but I have not used and it very knowledgeable regarding. dies for .38 and .223 everything in pic is included. $350 OBO
-
I feel sure you will sell this soon but I’ve got to be in your area the first week of Feb and if u still have it I’ll likely buy it.
-
Have you sold or are just ignoring me ? I offered 500 but I’ll pay the extra 25 if that what it takes to get a response. I was in Nash today. Will be there next Tuesday or thur also. If u wanna sell it. Let me know.

Lsparks replied to jeffmem's topic in Gear Classifieds
I picked up a Dillon 450 RL at an auction recently. I have no idea what all I got. I am hoping it is complete and good to go. I really don’t think I have room to start reloading so I am going to look at selling. Any idea what a decent price would be. I was told it was complete but I only see dies for .38 and .223. I don’t have a lot of extras I think. This is all new to me. Would u mind giving me some advice Fujimo ? Or others. I’ll send pics as soon as I pull it all out of the box. -

I have it dismantled. I am looking and inspecting the parts now and will have some pics shortly. I see that I am definitely missing a part, the “top ramp” which appears to be n metal “clip” that protrudes from the top of the barrel into the chamber above the feed lips which would serve to guide the shell into the chamber. Not sure it would affect firing, but it explains the feed issue for sure and will be the first thing to repair. I am not sure it would affect the shell ignition as it would appear to be simply a physical guide to push shell into the chamber So it would appear that it has been broken down before and someone simply failed to re assemble the top ramp. Everything else appears (at least for now) to be present and in good shape. I may replace the striker spring as well. But I don’t it is an issue. DO YOU THINK THE TOP RAMP MIGHT missing might allow the shell to fit loosely In The chamber and create ignition issues ? Doesn’t seem like it should, but ........ ?

You sir, are spot on ! That is what everyone I have seen does. And only once did I ever feel like I got my $$$ worth from a gunsmith. I have actually tinkered with a few various guns. Most aren’t hard to work on and you are right that you can watch a utube for anything. I was kind of surprised there wasnt more on this rifle.
-
Thanks for ther reference. I have only found one video on the gun and it was good. It was on wikimedia (?). Ill be looking it over real good.
-
Ill have to look at it pulled apart to tell. There is a distinct and audible click when i pull trigger. I havent pulled the trigger while it was broken down to see. But I can ck and see. I need to review the parts to make sure i lnow what I am looking for. Not exactly sure Where the hammer is, but ill take it apart tomorrow and look when my mind is quite as tired.

I guess that was a little scant.
