Reloader Annealing Machine from Lubo in Bulgaria

#1 Post by phaedra1106 »

Ordered one of these at the end of last week and it's now on its way (currently in Sofia).

Unfortunately I can't yet post any photos but it's on the thread below at the bottom of the page,

http://varmintinguk.freeforums.net/thre ... ng-machine

There's also a Youtube video of it in action here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuAs-Fra6qg

I've also ordered one of the stainless steel loading trays shown in the video. It's a very nicely made bit of kit, the disks are laser cut.

Total price £185 shipped to your door (£170 annealer, £15 tray).

I'll put up a full report when it arrives next week along with some decent photos.

Lubo is a very nice guy to deal with :D

Looks good from the pictures in the varminting UK thread and the price point is pretty good too. I've seen some recent annealers costing £600 upwards, crazy price. I'm looking forward to your full report phaedra as I'm pretty sure this device is better than my current setup which is putting a case in a spark plug adapter, chucking in a cordless screwdriver and spinning over a blowtorch!

I have my eye on one of these as well so will be interested to hear how you get on with it.

Out of interest, why did you order the tray as I assume it is not needed for use with the machine and I would be a tad worried about the tray marking the brass.

Just liked the look of it really, I'm easily swayed by shiny things :)

Latest tracking has it in Budapest, so getting closer :D

It should work OK as is I would think, I know he does disks with different hole sizes if needed.

I can bring it down to St Giles when I get it if you want to try some cases in it?.

Thanks for the offer it would be cool to have a look at one in the flesh.
Unfortunately I'm not a member of St Giles any more.
