Wanted: Redding model 16 shot shell press

[new forest]

I recently acquired a Redding model 16 reloading press, however it seems I need some powder and shot bushings, some case dies and as I have a 8 bore case holder I could do with a 12 bore holder.
Does anyone have any bits lying around?

There are two different types. One with a ROUND charge bar and one with a SQUARE charge bar. I have a square one, with three Redding bottles and a good few shot and powder dies plus the all important wad guide and "carrier" die. If interested...I would be looking at £87.50 posted...or £80 collected I can upload some pictures and list the powder and shot bushings. Obviously the square is the better if you intend to make bespoke bushings as they are simple cylinders. If collecting I am near J21 of the M1 at Leicester. Payment AND COLLECTION would be wanted within seven days as I am clearing space. The two pictures below are from the internet.

Instructions for round and square here. These died the death not because they were bad presses but because the vital bits were loose. So it was quite easy to misplace the wad guide, the "carrier" die, the push in bit for sizing. Whereas with a MEC or a Texan, like a serviceman's revolver, if you had any of it you had all of it. Indeed the supreme advantage if you had a machinist was that you could make up carriers to load 2", 2 1/2", 67.5mm, 2 3/4" or 3" 12 bore as it is the carriers that set the pre-crimp degree and final crimp depth and not the on press tools.

It's actually a simple matter to make up bushings for the round bar models.....thats what I do for mine although everything is packed away at the moment.All thats needed is a smallish lathe.....I also made up some alloy shot and power bottles to fit it.They are a really good quality press as you would expect from redding.....

Easily machined on a small manual lathe......no modern technology required.
