Go to
http://www.rceco.com/ and click on " surplus equipment". All of the items there are ready for shipment ( except for the ones that have just been sold and haven't had time to be removed from the list). And, I believe Richard has a new batch of Walnut Hill presses for immediate shipment. Don't forget to order the "M & S" die conversion bushing thou.
THE weakness in the Swaging tool area is that suppliers are usually one deep. That is specifically true with RCE, but is probably true with Corbin Co also: Oh, it's true that there are several folks working at Corbin's, but Dave IS the driving force and I doubt if he has anyone in the wings to replace him when the time comes. He could sell the company, of course, but not the spirit. Just about every outfit that has built bullet swaging gear passes on at, or very soon after, its founder passes on/retires. Corbin's is an exception: The Corbins bought the previous venerable owner, Mr Ted Smith, out, improved the line, and produced many new, innovating products. That is THE exception in dozens of dead ends. Know and understand this if you are going into this hobby/business. The tools are expensive, but do need 'factory' support from time to time. By the way, Richard Corbin, the owner of RCE, was Corbin Co's master machinist and co-pardner with his brother, David, until only a few years ago. And, RCE's product line is only limited by the time Richard has available. His catalog is a lot longer than his web site infers.
