Now that is a score..

Yea, I was pretty happy about that one. Also, there were two Snap On sockets in one of the drawers. The guy cleaned out most of the tools, but he didn’t have the key and there were still three drawers that were locked shut. So there may still be some treasures in there.

For the spoon lovers !
Yesterday I scored a Dillon 550C progresive reloader. In like new condition. Along with all the accessories for 9mm reloading. A chronometer, scales gauges, dies, powder, 800 new casing, 1000 used cases (already cleaned) 3000 primers, and...are you ready....3000 hollow point rounds. Also included was a competition rig.

$600 !

Well, there is no ammo shortage at skytrooper’s house! Well done!

[Skytrooper]

Nope no shortage here ! I already had 2000, but it will go fast as soon as competition season starts here.

That's a great score. This is similar to what it can look like after restoration:

I've got a buddy that owns a Metal Painting company. He uses PPG paint. He did the paint matching to the original color. There are some threads over on the Garage Journal forum about the paint code. Below is the before:

Good score!

At a place where I worked they asked me if I'd like a portable fax machine that was no longer wanted. I said sure and thanks. I threw the fax machine away and kept the pelican case for the pistols.

More Volvo info please! Love that car!

Out of all that, the rarest item would have to be the primers! I assume they are the small pistol primers since everything else is 9mm. You done good, bro!

[Skytrooper]

Yes, primers are small pistol primers.
It turns out the guy (old friend in high school) actually never used the Dillon press. He had a Lee Reloader that he had been using. Decided to get a Dillon and never took it out of the box. He opened it, but never set it up. Then changed his mind about pistol shooting. All the other rounds (3000) he made on the Lee. I have the press all set up. I am waiting on bullets so I can set the last 2 stations. Then it is time to play !

Yea, that was an all-timer. The top box is a KR537D. The side cabinet is not so common. Three of the drawers on the bottom box were locked. When I got them open there were a lot of Craftsman, SK, Proto, and yes, even some Snap On sockets and wrenches. Here is a picture of the Snap On bits and pieces.
