New Frankford Arsenal Wet Tumbler

[Brian]

I'm not a huge fan of FA - haven't had the best of luck with their gear, but this certainly looks like an interesting package.
Cheaper than a Thumler and looks a bit easier to use. Not sure how well the barrel would hold up though. They claim 1000 cases of 223 per load.

Price?

Looks like it will have an msrp of $230

$213 gets the basic kit and media.

Didn't see a bucket or magnet in there.

If the rubber lining and motor last, it sure seems easier than the Thumler.

The built in timer is a plus.

Sorry, oops - Grafs has it in stock right now for $190 +$8 s/h. The magnet is another $15.
The bucket thing at the end of the video is part of their separator kit, I'm not sure what he was talking about at the end there.

I might give Battenfeld a call and see what the true markup is. Grafs gives dealers a little discount, but it's usually not the same.

the magnet can be had at harbor freight I believe. I'll try to check this weekend, I'd like to have it for my setup.

I'm very interested in 1. So far unable to locate warranty. What good is a lower price point item, when the original has a lifetime warranty.

FA is only 1 year, though they have on occasion replaced things beyond that. Haven't found anything to indicate this model has an extended warranty...

Pretty sure Belly is using that or similar but it seemed very small.
