Handi with wood working? Looks like it would be pretty easy to fabricate your own.

Cut a base out to fit the press then put sides on it using 1/4 in plywood. ps

The ram has a slot on the back to divert the spent primers. Should be an easy thing to figure out a primer catcher.

I made a primer catcher for my small press out of a cardboard box slotted to fit around the base of the press. Ain't pretty but it's worked for years.

Don't know Rich.....Kinda looks like a Redding Big Boss press.

Yeah ,I`m using a plastic cup of sorts& it does ok for now only a wild primer that pops out mite jump out.

The press is aluminum alloy of sorts beefy & strong as any !SMOOTH as silk sheets!!!

I bought it for the 30 degree offset ,as my hands & fingers aren't as nimble as they were 30 yrs ago.

As the link said it is a Frankford Arsenal built press. Frankford Arsenal discontinued it `bout 10 yrs ago& while the FA name is still around it`s now Battenfield industries.

I thought these presses would be more popular ???? Guess not , as goes the reason for discontinued.

Ifin they don`t have a catcher I`ll find something to cobble up a solution
