[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1181609, member: 25383"] I have never said the Co-Ax was perfect, and have gone so far as to point out it's faults with honesty (to me anyway). You will also note that I've rarely pointed out the faults of the O frame design as we know. Yes I could, but could really care less about them. I have never felt any so called upgrades I did were property, but were for the masses. Others have made risers in the past (prior to me anyway), and I built my own with some tweaks. Had you asked (at the time), you'd have gotten from me. My sliding jaw tricks were something I figured somebody else already did sometime prior. Still keep in mind, I set my jaws up much differently than most do. Just me, but I also know my system works well. Have never owned the later yoke with the larger opening. Just never had the need for one. Handle length is another story that I'd forgotten all about. I found two handles I'd built that were shorter. The grip was much different, and was just what I could find at the time. One is about six inches long, and the other is roughly twelve inches long. Made of .188 walled tubing. I've never exactly been fond of Forster's sliding jaws holding the case for priming, but seems to work OK. I still prefer the system that came with the B2 press (second generation). Case holders are hard to come by, and have made three or four in pretty much all head diameters and rim styles I use. A pain for the guys that like the system. (note: if you decide to try this route, then use RCBS shell holders. They're a little softer and easier to modify) I once made a plug that was to be used in place of a die. Then removed the jaws, and bolted down a piece of .312" O-1 gauge stock. I could then use Wilson inline dies. Very nice, but also a waste of time when you have a K&M laying around. I also made a bullet puller that used a standard drill collets. I could pull bullets without the slightest marks on them. Still a pain to use. Needed a complete redesign.
