As JB said, you have a Versamec. I didn't notice that. Everything is steel which is nice. The little red fingers in the wad guide only cost about 2.50. If you ever need one replaced and you're gonna go to 10ga at some point you'd be better off ordering the kit to go to plastic and get 12ga and 10ga wad guides. I have two 761 Grabbers [ one I convered to 10ga without the resizer working ], three 650's, and three old 600jrs. Just went to Mecs web site and saw charge bars are $20+ and bushings are $2+. For under $40 you can buy a adjustable charge bar and never worry again about buying another bar or bushings. When ever you want to change a setting you just turn a dial, not wait to get something in the mail. The adj. bar allows an exact powder charge to be thrown unlike a bushing that may or may just get you close. My bars now have the inspection hole plugged so they'll throw [ without a bushing ] 94grs of black powder - about 3 1/3 drams - a good stout load with 1 or 1 1/8oz of shot. Back before I got adj. bars I bought two 46A bushings for BP. One was cut off so one throws 75grs and the other 84grs. That's about the only time I still use a bar and bushings.
