One of our older members [well older than me !] was cleaning out his garage and brought some items out to the range today. One was a Darr mould and this grease pump. He did not remember having it but used to know the folks at Saeco in Carpenteris Ca. in the 70s and early 80s. Anyone know if they made pumps as well as the re-de cappers and breech seating tools?

Tom, I've got most of Barry's, Saeco-Darr catalogs & there's no lube pump. Lots of other guys made them. See you one of these Wednesdays,,,  ...MIKE...

 The person who I recall communicating with on this Forum was Mr. Joe Ruth.  He apparently, as recently as last summer/fall, had the patterns necessary to make an additional quantity of the Pope pumps.

  I believe I misspoke when I said $400 per copy, when in actuality it was $450 per copy at last year's materials costs.

Tom and others-
Yes I did make reproduction Pope lube pumps prior to joining SAECO Reloading, along most of the loading tools for breech seating bullets.  Claude Roderick furnished me with the casting pattern. They are shown in my yellow jacket catalogs beginning in 1972 till 1977. Just by looking at it, the clamp portion of the original Pope's is a bit more square in shape. Tom as you know I knew Jim D. quite well and he probably purshased it from me in late 76 or early 77 when I joined up with SAECO. Back in the 70's there was not much of a demand for lube pumps. In total I never made more than 25 of them. Remember membership of the ASSRA was less than 500 in them days and certainly no internet was available to do business.
