Anyone know of a Canadian source for the roller handle for a Lee Classic turret press? According to the website for Inline fabrication it will cost me $49.50 just to ship this to me when the handle itself is $50.00. Budget Shooter has a roller handle but apparently it doesn't fit the Classic turret press.

I bought the roller handle last year, Higginsons had it in stock as a kit with the toggles and some hardware.

I see the part number in the product section of their website ( 90074 ROLLER HANDLE UPGRADE KIT $36.00 ) but I don't see the actual product in their catalogue section. Just want to make sure it's for the Lee Classic Turret and and not specific to one of their other presses. I might have to call them tomorrow to check.

Just checked the Lee Precision website and it says the roller handle is NOT for the Classic turret press

Yes your right, sorry missed the 'classic' part.
Just looking acrossed the room now, my classic, on one end of the bench, has a larger diameter rod on the handle than the challenger on the opposite end of the bench. Noticable diameter difference from 12'.

Inline makes two difference roller handles for the Classic Turret, the Standard height roller lever and the "ERGO" Roller. I went with the Ergo but to be honest I find it much more awkward than the standard handle that came with the press. Maybe it offers some advantages if you are doing rifle cases that need more leverage but if you are only doing handgun cases (as I am) it's overkill. if I had to do it again i would go with the Inline Standard height roller.

I don't know where you live but if you're near the border maybe you could get it sent to an American commercial shipping location. Inline ships for free in the U.S. and on most U.S. holidays they also offer 10% off purchases.

I contacted Fast Toys and they will order one and ship it probably cheaper than most other options. The conflict I'm having beyond this is I'd really like to upgrade to a Dillon 650 at some point ( making a new ergo handle moot ) in the near future but with new gun laws on the horizon I'm wondering if that's a smart investment or not. I'm mean what's the point if the idiot PM comes after the pistols and semis next. It would mean an investment in equipment to reload for handguns pointless. Damn I hate this government.
