MA or Brewster indexer?
« on: July 20, 2017, 06:51:48 pm »
Steve here... Just spent the better part of the afternoon setting up this old indexer on one of my Stars. No idea who made it
any input would be great. Its all steel. I don't believe it has any aluminum on it.Tomorrow I plan to make a new case pusher out of brass on my mill.

At my age the memory is faulty but I don't remember one looking like that and I did have, I think, a Brewster indexer.

All of the Hoyer's that have crossed my path have all been aluminum not steel.  They have also been marked Hoyer.
