I have had this annealer for several years and only used it one time (sadly, I haven't had time to shoot or reload much in recent years), so I'm sending it down the road. I've fixed the two biggest issues with this Giraud Annealer per the popular fixes that can be found on the 'net.

First, to fix the hyper-sensitive potentiometer that came on it (you could breathe on it, and it would change speed!), I installed a multi-turn potentiometer with a lock so that it is much easier to adjust the time-in-flame and lock it in. The original potentiometer is included in this sale (see photo), just in case you want to return to the original setup.

Second, I installed a pressure regulator and gauge to adjust the flame more easily and so that the gas pressure doesn't vary as the bottle empties. Just dial in the pressure that gives you the best flame, and the regulator will keep that pressure steady.

I made those mods and annealed about 100 cases of brass, and since then, I haven't touched this thing...

I'm including two different printed manuals for this annealer - the one that came with it, and the one that is currently available on Giraud's web site. When I purchased this annealer, I bought all the optional feed wheels and trolley plates available (4 different feed wheel sizes and 3 different trolley plates), and they are included. With these extras, you can anneal any cartridge from .17 Rem up to .50 BMG. I bought bottles of 450°F and 750°F Tempilaq paint, along with a bottle of Tempilaq thinner, and those are included, too. I also made a nice nylon cover (if I don't say so, myself!) to keep it dust-free since I didn't use it! This cover is included, too. Just add a bottle of propane, and you're all set to anneal all of your brass with this setup!

In summary, here's what is included:
  • Giraud Annealer
  • All 4 different feed wheels, to fit anything from 17 Rem up to 50 BMG
  • All 3 different trolley plates, to fit anything from 17 Rem up to 50 BMG
  • Upgraded potentiometer
  • Pressure regulator and gauge
  • Tempilaq 450°F and 750°F paint and thinner (not shown in the pictures)
  • Nylon dust cover
  • Two instruction manuals
  • Shipped in original box
I'd like to get $500 shipped to the CONUS for this like-new, complete annealing setup. I have over $750 plus shipping into all this stuff that I used one time, so I hope you find that a fair price. I have the original custom-fit box that it will ship in. Please contact me through the forum, if interested.

Thanks for looking!
