$40. Built like a tank.

It's fine, just needs a little cleanup. It will be replacing the Special 2 on the bench. The Special 2 is being gifted to a friend that needs it.

The Inline Fabrication Ergo handle is already ordered, but the Ulramount (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/712554/inline-fabrication-ultramount-for-rcbs-jr) is too pricey for me at $75. If anyone knows of a cheaper solution to raise it up sans my genius plan to use wood blocks bolted to the bench, I'm all ears :D

Very cool. My Rockchucker didn't look much better than that when I bought it yet has provided me almost 20 years of good service :)

I've had my RCBS Jr. since I was 13 years old. It is what I currently load all of my precision rifle rounds on unless I need to full-length resize.

Found the year of manufacture stamp, 1967. Added it to the first post. Really freaking cool.

I have the same press, it was the first bench press I got after starting loading with a Lee hand tool. Mine was heavily used before I got it in the 70s. Never had any complaint whatsoever about it. Bought a spare to leave at family's place so Id have one handy when visiting.

Awesome find! I had to do a double take. It looks very much like my Reloader Special (RS). It'll give you years of great service.
