Major SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USMCj]

My job involves going to customers houses and installing certain things. (sorry, dont want to mention the name of the company I work at)

So yesterday I went to a customers house, long story short I needed to do some work in his closet, he opens the closet door, and reloaders heaven!!!! He used to be a benchrest shooter years ago and stopped because his best friend and shooting buddy died about 5 years ago. So he tells me he is going to sell his entire collection and for me to look through his stuff and see if there was anything I was interested in.

If I had enough money I would have boght his entire closet. Anyway, 3 little orange orbes cought my eye. I knew what they were bu was hesitant to ask how much, he said that he got them years ago for $650, then he asked me if I was interested, I said hell ya! And you would not belive how much he gave them to me for...........................

$140 for all of it, It is the complete kit, includes all of the manderals from 22-308 cal.

He said "I know I can get way more for them but I would rather have them go to a good home then make more money on them.

Is this not the nicest guy ever? Oh ya, he also have me a bunch of free primers as a gift.

so here they are

Left to right : Pumpkin neck turning tool, Neck runout indicator, case holder

OK, you lucky Bastid, I have to know, what are the orange things?
Some kind of marital aid?

I've been reloading for 12 or 13 years and never saw them before...I guess that's what BoltRipper refers to as unwashed. Anyway, I'm all ears, or eyes, or whatever...What are they?

Tell me about it, 12 years of doing my job and 1000s of houses later, this was the first time working in another gun nuts house.

He is going to call me when he decides to sell everything, I hope by then Ill have more money so I can buy it all up.
