Not quite a gun, but I intend to cut into my $140 wonder bench of imported Oak from China and put one or two reloading presses on it. 5 foot by 20 inches with four drawers, of which two will likely not installed to make room for the presses, but not bad for the money I shelled out. One of the first reviews I read mentioned it was bought as a reloading bench and I was sold. Current ply wood folding table will not likely take more weight or reloading, so I broke down and used perfectly good saved up gun money for a better bench. Now to decide what components and tools for reloading I should get.

Best Regards,

Mark

BTW, looking at an AR-15 build now. 20" barrel or bust. Most likely an A1 looking build with triangular hand guards of the Vietnam War era. M4 carbine version I shoot today was very nice though.

Citizen,

You forgot to mention just how heavy the blasted thing is! It's a good thing the people at Harbor Frieght were willing to put it into your car. Actually, I think you will be able to use the 2 top drawers. The lip on the top is wide enough that when you install the reinforcing wood, there will be enough clearance to continue using the top drawer. I'm now considering getting one for myself as it does offer more good options for getting properly organized. Reloading is one of those tasks that does demand an organized work area and my current setup could use help in that arena.

Anyone wanting a good reloading bench, I have plans that I used. Stretched it out a bit to 96" wide. Built the thing for just over $100. I could park one of my bikes on that puppy. Super sturdy, it has a 2 X 6 lip under the front edge that will hold up to the forces of any press or swaging set up. Didn't use the cabinet parts but wouldn't have cost much extra.




Plans for the bench.


Also have plans for an apartment sized, self contained set up that fits in a corner
