Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Press
A clean Lock-N-Load automatic press. It's ready to set-up. It has been disassembled, cleaned, and lubed. It's not a grimy, heavily-used press like many presses listed here. It's not a weekend cleaning project. The ram is in very good condition, not worn or scored. It moves smoothly. The powder measure was disassembled and cleaned. The drum rotates properly. The plastic reservoir is clean and not cracked or brittle. There is one large size primer tube. You'll need to get a small tube if you load cartridges that take small primers. The shell plate that's included is a No. 2, for .30-30 Win and similar cartridges. There are five Lock-N-Load bushings.
I don't see anything wrong with the press other than the plastic piece that the primer tube rests on is cracked, as shown in the last photo. The Hornady manual lists this part as 398319A - Housing Body Primer Tube. It seems to support the tube correctly as-is but a replacement can be ordered from Hornady for a few dollars. I don't see the small plastic spacer they call the "primer tube support" 398318 which only looks to center the primer tube inside the primer tube housing.
The paperwork isn't here but you can download the user manual at the Hornady website under "AP Press Instructions."
The press weighs 18 lb. With the powder dispenser and other parts, the total weight is 24 lb.
