Forster Co-Ax

[texag0842]

Anyone know of one in stock?

 

[Hoyt7mm]

Ordered from Optics Planet on Friday and it said they were in stock. Not sure if they are anymore

@Hoyt7mm

Let's see how it works. I just ordered one from them and it's showing back ordered but I did get 10-15% off.

I just need it by March when the new house is built so not a super rush

I had one on order with optics planet for months. it kept getting pushed out and out and out.

finally brownells got them in stock for an even better deal and it shipped out same day I ordered it.

so keep an eye out on brownells in the mean time. then you can always cancel your OP order

@hookedonbrass

That's kind of what I have planned. I'm on the list at Brownells, Grafs, ect

 

[Hoyt7mm]

Just got notification that it's back ordered. Not sure if I want to cancel and go with the MEC Marksman or try waiting it out....

Check this one out that should be available in February. Had I known, I may have held off buying the Forster I picked up.

I ordered one from Optics Planet on Cyber Monday. It delivered December 20th or so. because it was backordered when I placed the order. Got a pretty good deal on it, too. I say hold out and see what happens.

Sell me your Coax! I'd love to have 2 of them on my bench!

Seriously though, Frankford Arsenal didn't think to far outside the box on that one, pretty blatant knockoff of the Coax.

 

[Badfinger]

Just get a Rock Chucker......

 

[texag0842]

I strongly dislike my Rock Chucker compared to the Co-Ax

 

[Badfinger]

I guess I'm just use to it I've been using it for all most 50 years

Wow. Except for the primer drop, I guess there's a box underneath that catches them, it's nearly identical.

 

[MarinePMI]

The question will be; but can they hold the tolerances of the Forster Co-Ax...like Forster/Bonanza has done for the past 50+ years. I'm thinking that Frankford Arsenal is good at introducing good, cheap products...but I'd be surprised if they hold the same quality. FA is largely targeting the budget minded folks, and lower cost products (typically) come with a lower attention to detail.

I have a Forster Co/Ax B3 that I don't need anymore since OP came through with a new unit. OP does get stock and ship to those on the waiting list.

 

[Subwrx300]

I really like the fast rotate shell holder. Forster isn't hard but it says time swapping the plates around and fiddling with the plate alignment. If it pans out, I may pick one up to speed sizing operations.

 

[MarinePMI]

Just buy two. One for large, one for small. Easy peasy.

 

[texag0842]

OpticsPlanet just updated my backorder expected to ship Feb 4th

That would be ideal

 

[highhope]

Nice press, love it.

 

[The Durk]

I ordered mine on Brownells 11/14/18 on backorder. I still haven’t heard anything yet.

These guys get them in regularly

 

[Screehopper]

I went to the Forster homepage and they even have a notice:

"Order Fulfillment - The Co-Ax Reloading Press is currently in very high demand. Please be aware that we are manufacturing and shipping our tools as quickly as we can. Some products are back ordered, so delivery will take longer than usual. Place your order now to reserve yours. It will be worth the wait."

 

[cmickles]

Just FYI anyone wanting a forester coax press Creedmoor esports has 7 in stock as of now. I just purchased 1

 

[sodakhunter]
