Default Lee Collet Dies?

I know this is a long shot...
Lee has suspended work from it's custom shop due to keeping up with the current high demand for reloading equipment.
The .17FB and 270WSM collet dies are a custom order item from Lee so they are not currently making them. Does anyone have either one of these dies that they no longer need/use and would like to sell?

Has Lee changed their mind about .17FB collet dies? When I had a .17FB rifle, I tried to get one from them and they flat refused to make one, first because it was a .17, and secondly they claimed the case is too short. Same goes for the .20VT.

I realize this is no help to you at all, but I'm just looking for an answer.

I wonder how many they made in .270WSM as well!

bado1,
There's been more than one thread on here telling/showing how to use a .17 Rem collet die and an extended shell holder turned down to go inside the die, to collet neck size FB cases. I followed the advice and it works.
Same method can be used for .17 AH cases.
Ken.
PS. Seem to remember that some people were lucky enough to get Lee to make FB collet dies.
I got a negative answer when I enquired.

Thanks guys.
Dungheap, they didn't say that they wouldn't make one. Just not right now. I may have to inquire more deeply about that.
Kenbro, thanks for the heads up I will search that on the forum.
