$125 OBO, preferably FTF within a reasonable distance from Durham. Shipping extra, if needed. (Probably have to disassemble this to get it into a LFRB, and would probably have to ship the handle separately, it's just too long.)

This is an original RCBS AmmoMaster, not the current "AmmoMaster 2". The upgrade was 3 longer support arms, 1 1/4 inch longer ram travel (6 3/4 inches, up from 5 1/2), a bigger toggle block (to enable the longer ram travel), and bigger threads in the top end, to accomodate .50 BMG dies. Upgrade parts are probably available from RCBS. But unless you load .50 BMG, or plan to load .50 BMG in the future -- or just want to tell your friends that you could load .50 BMG
-- this press will do what needs to be done. In fact, because the toggle block is smaller, and the ram travel shorter, thinking back to my high school physics tells me that this press has a little more leverage than the upgrade. Just sayin'.
This is the single stage version. There was a progressive press upgrade, which I understand RCBS has discontinued. You might be able to find that on the used market, or be able to put it together by ordering enough parts from RCBS. But this unit is only a single stage press.
Condition is used/excellent. All bearings, sleeves, and joints are tight, no appreciable wear on anything, looks like a bit of surface rust on the shell holder adaptor (top of ram), which I'll brush away in a minute, no chips in the paint, no nothing. All parts are present and correct EXCEPT, I haven't found the ram prime unit yet, so I've priced this as a press with that part missing. (But I'll throw it in freebie, if & when I find it, if that matters to you.)
I'll also include a printed copy of the instructions & parts list. (It's also on line at RCBS.)
I'm selling this press because I got it as part of a larger deal, but I'm perfectly happy with my old Lyman Spartan and my newer C-H Champion.
Here are a few more pics. Thanks for looking!

Don't know what that empty hole is for, on the left. (The one on the right is plugged.) Probably something to do with the mythical progressive conversion.
