MEC 9000 progressive shotgun reloader 12 gauge

Description

This is a MEC 9000 progressive reloader for 12 gauge shells.  As a hobby, I rebuild metallic and shotgun reloading equipment.  It gets me out of the wife’s hair, give’s me my garage time and an excuse for a cigar and even a bourbon now and then.  I find working with my hands to be great therapy and I enjoy bringing these machines back to excellent working condition and passing them on at a reasonable price.  I have completely disassembled, inspected, cleaned and lubricated this machine.  I repainted it, I removed and stabilized any rust, I replaced any worn parts, I polished the bottle holder and chrome parts, and I reassembled and adjusted the machine to factory specifications.
This press includes the two powder and shot bottles as pictured, they are new (a .00 replacement value) and are the modern version that fills through the top.  It also includes a charge bar for 1 1/8 oz. lead shot and accepts changeable powder bushings, includes # 29, 30 and 32 powder bushings, two bottle caps, two rubber grommets, one brass washer for very fine powders, pre crimpers for both 6 and 8 petal shells, a complete set of new operator literature and four mounting bolts.  Essentially, you are getting a like new press at lower than new prices.  I know that there are quite a few MEC reloaders advertised here on E-Bay, if you also have a need to work with your hands by all means go ahead and buy one of these, who am I to rain on your parade?  On the other hand, if you would rather be reloading or shooting than getting dirty and greasy, or spending time trying to find detent balls that are smaller than BBs, or ordering parts or chasing small screws and set screws and playing with adjustments, buy this machine.  I have no doubt that it will work like new and will reload thousands of rounds for years to come.  A new 9000 sells for around 5 plus shipping, you can reload a ton of shells with the $ 125+ bucks you are saving here.
