MEC Wad Guide Bracket Features The MEC Wad Guide Bracket is built to fit directly into the wad guide station of compatible MEC shotshell presses including the Pre-82 Jr the 82-85 600 Jr the 700 Versamec and the Sizemaster. Reloaders running these presses in 16 gauge rely on this bracket to properly position and guide the wad during the shotshell assembly cycle keeping charges consistent from shell to shell. Because MEC presses have remained in service for decades a reliable replacement bracket is often the difference between keeping an older press running and having to replace the whole unit. This bracket is machined to the same fit and function as the original equipment it replaces. For owners of pre-1982 Versamec and 600 Jr presses this bracket directly replaces the older 453P part giving those presses a modern available component rather than relying on discontinued factory stock. Its black finish matches the factory look of MEC press hardware so the replacement blends in rather than standing out. Installing it is a straightforward swap for anyone already familiar with basic MEC press maintenance. Keeping a spare wad guide bracket on hand is a smart move for high-volume 16 gauge reloaders who want to avoid downtime at the bench.
