Lot 385:
Sold for: $55
Description
This is an RCBS JR3 Single Stage Reloading Press, identified by the prominent JR3 marking cast into the O-frame style body. This heavy-duty press is constructed of cast metal and features the classic RCBS light teal/green crackle finish. The press operates via a long steel lever rod, which includes a green serrated plastic grip. The lever rod and an accompanying small component, likely the priming arm, are currently secured to the frame using a black plastic zip tie. This equipment is designed for precision handloading of metallic cartridges. No serial number or caliber markings are present, as is typical for this type of reloading equipment.
Condition: The press exhibits moderate to heavy cosmetic wear consistent with regular use. The original light teal/green crackle paint finish is heavily chipped, worn, and shows significant discoloration, dirt, and residue build-up. Exposed steel components, including the lever rod and linkage, show minor surface rust and oxidation. The main ram appears to move freely, and the press appears mechanically sound, though we have not function-tested this reloading press. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
