Franford Arsenal Co-Ax Press

[peterdobson]

These presses have proven faulty and to date there has been no response to our emails requesting that they be returned.

This product has been removed from our site and we have an engineer's report outlining faults which includes the fact that Forster Ultra Seaters will not function with this press.

Frankford Arsenal has advised that they have "an easy fix"

We'll see.

Several issues they apparently released it without discovering this, they did not get back to you, and i own several frankford arsenal products.

Not the sort of response one would expect from customer service giants of reloading like rcbs or redding.

See there are some issues starting to show around the net on them. Sound more like QC than anything else. Shellholders and retaining screws. One fella is using two lock rings instead of the blocks to mount dies, another has found a way to use different shellholders in it. The notion of the die blocks kinda turned me off to start with. Co-ax has a couple of limitations as well, nothing is perfect.

Well I bought one. After a bit of research they look like a good press. Of the 6 blocks I have one is a bit stripped and will be replaced with a short bolt if I can match the thread. I have more dies than blocks so will try doubling up on the lock rings. Thats a good idea.

I like the extra power I get from this press. So far I like it.

We have returned the presses and Frankford A. were professional in this regards,

Probably a reason there has been only one successful co-ax on the market... I'm sure if it was easy to make the other majors would have got into it by now.
