I have been asked to help liquidate the gun accessory part of an estate. Everything is pretty straightforward except for this, and I'm hoping for some help.
It is a Corbin setup to use 22 rimfire cases and swage them, with lead cores into 224 bullets. There are 2 large swaging dies, 2 punch dies, and one unit that I think is used to cut the lead cores to size. I don't know how much to ask for this unit, but have been told that the setup cost many hundreds of dollars when new.
There is so much on the Corbin site, I couldn't tell what dies these were, but I presume:
1. Swaging the 22 shell into a jacket
2. cutting the cores from lead wire
3. swaging the core into the jacket
4. swaging the ogive onto the bullet
So I still have 2 pieces remaining that I don't know what they are for...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a price, or is this kind of unit even of interest now that bullets are readily available, and reasonably cheap?
Thanks in advance.
