The "horseshoe" piece catches the primers after you de-prime the case. It goes around the body of the press. There is a grey one in this pic

The horse shoe shaped piece is a primer catcher. It mounts around the press, and catches your spent primers during sizing, so they don't get on the floor. I have some primers from the late 60's early 70's I used a few years ago for my personal 270 Win ammo, and it shot very consistant. They should be fine. The last 2, not sure. You have a good start for a reloading kit now. The only thing I see missing that would be very helpful is a powder trickler. Enjoy it!

Looks like with a little cleaning, you'll be ready to go in short time. Check out the stickies at the top of the section. Some guys have spent some time putting good info in those.

Thanks JBD. I think I've read them 10 times already waiting for the day! I've been using my Sgt's gear and he has been teaching me. This will save the hour drive each way.

Last pics are an oiler and bore cleaner for an M1. They were designed to fit inside the buttstock.

Congrats on the score of some good gear. ^^this^^ That's a good friend, and he's right that it shouldn't just sit in storage. That stuff is built to last for generations. I'm glad it's getting put to work.
