$70 in parts and a Sunday afternoon invested.

Nothing less. Nothing more.


Very nice setup. Can you share your parts list?
I use drill, socket, torch and metronome app, or I have a salt bath setup that I like except for set up time.
But I also like projects so maybe I need a home made annealing machine as well ha ha.

Apologies for not seeing this sooner.

Go to YouTube and look up Elfsters Rifles and Reloading annealers, its his design.

He has videos that include what parts you need and how to build one. It's been so long since I built mine that sources and prices may be different with how things are these days. I did get everything for mine from Amazon and Ebay.
