I meant if they could get in touch, possibly for a fee, I would be very concerned if they gave you the information Gumpy

Could you enquire if rock island could get in touch with the purchaser to see if they still have a spare set of dies you could purchase Gumpy

That isn’t good, was the barrel nut loose? Which would have caused everything to move, or something else Gumpy
