Lot 1349:
Vintage RCBS Rock Chucker II Reloading Press
Description
This vintage RCBS Rock Chucker reloading press features a robust O-frame design cast from heavy iron and finished in the manufacturer’s signature textured green paint. The side of the frame displays the impressed manufacturer’s name “RCBS” in raised capital block letters. Mechanically, the press utilizes a compound toggle linkage system operated by a long steel handle fitted with a bright green, vertically ribbed plastic grip. The central steel ram is currently fitted with a shell holder held in place by a spring clip. Designed for versatility and durability, the Rock Chucker series is a staple of high-leverage metallic cartridge reloading.
Condition report:
The press displays signs of significant use and age. There is widespread surface oxidation and light rust visible on the unpainted steel components, including the operating handle, central ram, and pivot pins (photo 1, 4). The cast frame shows scattered paint loss, particularly on the mounting base and upper edges, along with general staining and accumulated residue from previous reloading activities (photo 3). The green plastic grip on the handle is intact but shows minor surface wear consistent with handling (photo 2). All mechanical components appear present, though the smoothness of the action has not been independently verified.
