The MEC Wad Guide Bracket, 16 Gauge (MEC part no. 888716) is a replacement wad guide bracket for older MEC shotshell reloading presses, sized for 16 Gauge hulls. It is built to fit the Pre-82 Jr., 82-85 600 Jr., 700, Versamec, and Sizemaster models. It also directly replaces the discontinued 453P bracket on those older models. If your MEC press has a worn or missing wad guide bracket, this part gets the charge bar and wad guide realigned so your press cycles the way it did when it was new. It is a simple, inexpensive fix that keeps an older MEC press in service instead of retiring it.
