It’s Pristine too!
Shovel handle. And it appears to have their replacement ram which took the place of their original which had a built in shell holder. Never had a problem with it but it did need to be kept clean. Should be a plaque riveted to it with serial number.
Virtually indestructible and I think with the proper attachment it could be used to change tires.
The handle appears to be correctly installed as well. Never want a thread exposed in any press handle as that first EXPOSED thread is always the weak point and will break there. Always amazed me that the MEC press has that and it’s really a sign the engineer never made it through the first year of engineering school. The very best design of press handle design is believe it or not LEE cast iron. No threads, adjustable for both length and angle. Ingenious.
I’m hooked on tools. Presses in particular. I have eleven. 7 mounted. Only use two but I have lots of room. The A4 is a beast. However the LEE will take 50 BMG which is sort of unique.
I’m not saying the handle needs to take insane force but it’s been posted on here a guy broke the handle on an A4! I wonder how he thought he would ever extract the case.
