Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1523:
Description
This lot features a vintage RCBS two-die reloading set for .223 Remington, manufactured during the Omark Industries era. The set consists of a full-length sizer die and a seater die, both constructed of steel with knurled bodies and knurled locking rings. The dies are housed in their original green plastic “Precisioneered” case, which includes internal dividers and the original RCBS reloading die instruction manual. A partially torn paper label on the front edge of the case identifies the set as “GROUP A”, “PART # 11103”, and specifies the use of “SHELL HOLDER # 10”. The label also bears the designation “E SET 223 REM” and a handwritten notation in blue ink reading “WNET”. The exterior of the case is printed with the RCBS logo and the Omark Industries Sporting Equipment Division branding.
Condition report:
The steel dies exhibit surface oxidation, light rust, and residual lubricant throughout (photo 3). The green plastic case shows surface scuffing, accumulated dirt, and some minor deformation to the internal dividers (photo 4). The paper label on the front of the case is partially torn with significant loss to the left side and bottom edge (photo 2). The instruction manual appears intact but shows some yellowing and handling wear (photo 3). Mechanical function has not been independently verified.
