Need help with RCBS press identification

[jibbs]

My brother and I have kind of taken over our fathers press because he never used it. We thought originally that it was a Piggyback II, but when we order parts for it, they are short (in length). Here are some picture to help with the identification process. All I know is that the press was bought circa 1995. Any help is greatly appreciated considering I have to get more parts to replace the broken ones. If more picture are needed I have no problem taking them.

Thanks Scott. Initially I was going to reply and say I have looked at that site a million times, which I have. But giving it a second look. I now think that it is a AmmoMaster Auto Progressive. The pictures look like the press IMO and I know this isn't a piggyback because this is not a converted press. Thanks again Scott for the insight, but would still like other peoples opinions to see if I'm on the right track.

jibbs, I have a Piggyback II on a Rock Chucker and that's not it so you're correct about what you don't have. As for what you do have .... as you say, an older RCBS progressive of some kind. For what it's worth, my Piggyback II (bought around '93) is still going strong and works great. I've loaded tens of thousands of rounds with it with no issues.

1858, Thanks for the input. I agree that it must some kind of older progressive, Im going to call tomorrow for some parts and will check back to let you know if these are the right ones.

This is the press I learned on and love it. Works great, even though its a bit rusty (not stored in a very good place). Once it gets dialed in it runs great (300+/hr), probably runs better, but we are making sure we check the weights and lengths a bit more frequently.

I love how much RCBS stands behind their product. We just call with what we need parts wise and they just send it off at no charge (not a dime). Have not seen that kind of customer service in quite some time. Just dug up the 5-0-5 scale which has not been used in a long time and it works great as well. Verified the weights with a good analytical balance at school.
