Description
This is a single progressive ammunition reloading press, identified through markings and web consensus as the Pacific/Hornady Model 366 Shotshell Reloader. The press features a heavy cast metal frame finished in red enamel, designed for high-volume shotshell reloading via a rotating shell plate mechanism actuated by a vertical steel lever with a black polymer grip. The press is marked on the base: PACIFIC GUN SIGHT CO. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. An overlaying manufacturer label further identifies the item: MANUFACTURED BY Div. of Hornady PACIFIC TOOL COMPANY GRAND ISLAND, NEB. A large, cylindrical aluminum reservoir is mounted vertically above the tool head, likely intended for powder or shot. Several dies/tool heads are currently installed. An inventory sticker marked 0717 is visible on the upper frame. This item is reloading equipment and is not classified as a firearm.
Condition report:
The barrels retain a high percentage of their original blued finish, showing minor surface scratches and handling wear consistent with field use. The receiver exhibits a strong, vibrant case-hardened finish that is well-retained, particularly on the sides. The wooden furniture (forend and buttstock) shows moderate wear, including numerous scratches, dings, and areas of finish loss in the lacquer, particularly around the buttplate and pistol grip. The checkering remains defined but shows smoothing from handling. The action appears to function correctly, locking up tightly when closed. The bores appear bright but have not been professionally inspected. We have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
