Frankfort Arsenal Tumblers????

[Beezer]

Is anyone familiar with the "Frankfort Arsenals Quick-N-EZ" brand of tumblers? What is their quality of construction? I use to have a tumbler that I made myself. Just purchased a Lyman bowl and built the rest. Unfortunately I sold it many years ago when I stopped reloading. Now I need to get another tumbler and don't really feel like building one again.

The Frankfort is the lowest price one I have seen but unsure about it's reliability. A Lyman is almost double the price and the Dillon is about the same cost as the Lyman. I just don't want one with a tiny bowl since I will be doing .308 casings and want to do more then 50 at a time.

Any suggestions?

I bought a new Berry's tumbler for $40 off ebay. I am very happy with it. The bowl has a lifetime guarantee as well

I got a Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo from LeBaron for I think 70 bucks with some overpriced wallnut and case goop.

I can do 500 .45 casings at a time so I am very happy with that.

I have a Frankford Tumbler, and it works well.

I couldn't justify spending more on a 'brand name'. Reviews of the Frankford ones on Cabelas.com look favorable.

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go with with the Lyman 1200 Pro. Getting it from Epps.

years with out a problem.

Wow. I didn't realize the price difference for the tumbler between Epps and LeBarons. For $17 less on the tumbler and $9 less on the media I changed my mind and will be getting it from LeBarons instead. Phew....That was a close one. HEHE

I have Frankford Tumbler as well not sure what model though...got it for $75.. it can take 600 9mm or 350 .223 cases....no problems so far

Well Epps is going to price match LeBarons for the Lyman tumbler and media so they got the order. Glad that finally worked out. Hat's off to Epps.
