A local hobby gunsmith passed away He was a veterinarian he graduated from Dartmouth!!! I was not prepared to see what I seen today. He was never marred no kids he had 110 firearms mainly high quality pistols!!!! Tool box upon tool box of just name brand tooling bison chucks back plates bison 5c collet chuck..... accu-finish tool grinder 3 or 4 progressive presses all set up for certain calibers all RCBS a couple shotgun presses!!!!! Dovetail cutters prolly 15-20, anything and everything for 1911s. He had 3 40 gun gun safes with just tooling!!!!! I took some pictures of some equipment kinda felt weird to take pictures of the of the stuff in the safes. They want to sell everything to one person he’s not wanting to piece it out...... I would have to say counting equipment it’s gotta be nearly 100k (not counting the firearms) just the damn tool grinder for his HSS tooling is 4K. new he had to have 100+ reamers 100+ dies ranging from common to extremely wildcat his kitchen was dedicated just to casting bullets!!!!! I’ve a room dedicated to reloading his whole house was!!!! Again I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!!!! I’ll get better pictures later this week. Everything was labeled with notes everything in its original boxes I would say 75% of the cutters reams were never used and still had the dipped wax on them
