ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to the provision of semi- automatic apparatus for use in inserting contacts into resilient insert connector bodies Some prior art machines have not included opening means for gently opening the internal bores of the connector shell, extracting a part of the opening means, inserting a contact and then removing the remainder of the opening means gently to avoid harm to the connector. These prior art machines generally have not included means enabling quick insertion and removal of connector shells, rapid expansion of bores in the shells under control of an operator, nor ready insertion of contacts by application of near zero insertion forces. The present invention provides an improved machine of this type which includes an adapter associated with a breech loading assembly for accepting and holding a resilient insert body. An assembly including a bullet within a barrel is pushed into the insert body to gently enlarge the shoulders and the bores. The bullet is then retracted to a stop position, leaving the barrel in place in the bore. The breech lock is then opened and contacts are loaded by hand, or other means, into the bore to the stop position. The barrel is then retracted from the bore permitting the internal shoulders of the resilient insert body to expand and grip the contacts. Thereafter, the resilient insert body, with its contacts and appropriate leads in place, is removed from the apparatus.
