Looks like the AMP Annealer will have some competition soon

[stavey]

Just noticed a thread on snipershide about the Quick Annealer . Looks to be a good option and supposed to be around $950. Don’t know how to link websites or I would. Their web address is
Quick-anneal.com

Going to have be really really awesome to compete with the amp. I can't recall a negative review and customer support has been top notch.

Interested to see how it performs!!

Same here ... I love my AMP and the support has been terrific. That said, different and imaginative solution that requires no pilot and no case holder ... it'll be interesting to see how they pull that off. Their market isn't AMP owners ... who already are happy with their solution. Their market is the "Wish I could afford AMP" reloader that is still lighting up propane torches in their garages.

I took a look, but it’s not in the US yet.

Or those in the market for a AMP. If the Quick Annealer can do the same or more for $500-$600 less. Why pay more ? Competition is always a good thing for the consumer .

It looks nice, Is this a Garmin/Labradar situation. No. Not close. I do like the latest and greatest, but saving one piece of test brass would not be enough to cause me to switch. If I did not own neither, than maybe. I like how the brass you just drop in

I agree. In time, there will surely be more competition, and someone will eventually come out with something better. Seems someone could come out with a pretty cheap version which could be caliber specific, if it were significantly cheaper for doing high-volume brass. Doing away with the case holders a bonus. The AMP is a pretty cool piece of equipment. I recently bought one and ran 1,000 pieces through. Nothing to complain about - other than getting over the price tag.

Now if this annealer had a little conveyer belt on the top that auto dropped in the brass, amp would be up for sale

I think a simple hopper configuration, like say the Giraud annealer or the Annealeez, could be set up to feed reliably using a similar motor and wheel with a shute angled to let the case slide into the opening of the annealer.

Wait, your supposed to do the flame annealing in a separate part of the house? Kidding. But, your explanation is spot on. I would consider and possibly buy this if it were close to Performing like an AMP. I can’t justify and won’t spend $1500 plus on an amp.

Lol. Now it’s a consideration

 

[NZ_Fclass]

The feed system is the only thing lacking on the AMP...but I won't be changing anytime soon.

At one point a few years back I sold my early production AMP to a local shooter for $800. after deciding to only shoot SR-BR.....After a few more years I missed the LR-BR and the same model I had sold came up here for $800..............The classifieds around here work great if you are patient or just ask what you
are looking for......I won't get rid of this one.

It seems with that machine you determine the setting and when you think it’s correct. That’s a turn off for me, It looks like the amp is a little more based in science. If I’m reading the website correctly

 

[USMCDOC]

final cost is going to be way more than 950.00 believe me..

Hey ADMIN/MODERATOR/BOSS, here we are again. Please PM with an explanation. I pay 100 bucks a year. I don't expect to have my posts deleted. Yes, I am pissed. Facebook all over again.

$950 is what was quoted to the guy on snipershide. Says he requested an invoice so we should know for sure soon. Website says it’s able to detect a different brass composition / neck thickness . Must have sone decent technology built in ? I don’t think the AMP can do that. Time will tell. Either way as I said competition always benefits the consumer.

 

[DngBat7]

I saw that. The pulsing feature is interesting, but detecting the difference between a case that is off, seems different than you picking your own setting. I I see what you are seeing so it is interesting.

Just as I was thinking. And as usual, I find an idea of mine not being unique.
