I also would be interested in a set.

I'd like a 16 ga!

I would be froggy for a 12 & 16 set.

If the price is right, I would take one in each gauge, including .410. I don't even own a 10 gauge, but I'd buy the 10-crimper just for later. Do I get any priority because I still have a Lyman Easy Loader?

Does anyone know where I could find a picture of Lyman's tool for hand turning these role crimping heads? I'd like to try to make one.

I just called and they are out. The lady said that they were swamped with calls for them. This might inspire them to make more

Nial;
Not absolutely positive, but I seem to recall one being shown in one of the pics on the recent thread about vintage loading tools. Has been in the last week or so, should be easy to find. If not they are pictured in the older Lyman loading manuals, if someone around you has one.
Fun reloading tools; I brought it to the top, there are two pictured on the first page in different poasts.

nialmac,

Here's a picture of the old Lyman Ideal 'Star' Crimper. Great price in 1956 for sure! Lyman again making these machines would be a thought? They use the same 'head' as we are discussing by the way. Good luck on your project.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that Lyman's Product Development just now sent me an e-mail asking you folks to kindly cease and desist with the orders for the few remaining 12 ga. roll crimp heads, as they sold out of them in short order this morning upon opening. They 'Thank You' for your interest, and assured me they'd keep an eye on this thread which is being posted on various boards. And 'Thanks' from me to all of you so far that have given input for the hopeful return of this nifty tool.


All Best,

Rob

I have one of those Ideal star tools shown in the last post in 16 gauge. I also have a 12 gauge head. Does anyone know how to swap out heads? I havent been able to remove the 16 gauge head.
Thanks
