RCBS mold handles,, NEI modified.

2 sets of RCBS mold handles modified by Walt Melander of NEI molds.  In fine shape.
His catalog said it was to keep a better alignment of mold halves in opening and closing.
Spring loaded pins on each side of handle.
These will still fit rcbs molds also.

$65.00 Each Shipped in the USA Only

Mike, if you look very closely at the photo you can see the little spring loaded pins at the inside ends of the, uh, whatever you call those things. Mounting arms?

it pushes the block out at front so they close there first.Then as you close the handles the back closes.

Thanks, I always wear a leather glove and manually close the molds.

I cast with a bare left hand.

Less fatigue than wearing a glove.

Right hand gloved to cut sprue by hand.
