Be patient. They made thousands of them. One will turn up cheap. Are you watching;
SSAA sales?
Allguns.com.au?
etc

Recoil Firearms in Victoria usually has one or two for sale, usually around the $120 mark.
Great Presses, I have 3 of them permanently set up.

Hi
I was recently given a bsa martini cadet in 218 Mashburn bee by my father with some super simplex dies
Does anyone have an old super simplex for sale as he no longer has a press?

Pretty sure the simplex dies can be used in a normal 7/8"-14 thread press? You just need the adapter. Perhaps get one made. I think bladeracer bought one?


Here you go. Shop around

A much better option IMO. You can then buy and use normal dies if you want in a normal O or C frame press.

If you buy a 7/8"-14 bolt off the shelf you can have it done on a lathe. Cost NFI. You will need to give the machinest the 5/8" die too.

Or just "wanted" ads on gun sale sites.
