New F.A. press

There was a thread on it last year.

Odd. They were advertising it as a new product. Maybe new to them...

I’d say that three months still qualifies as a new product...and especially as it has just begun shipping beyond a few pilot sites. After all, Gavintoobe (Ultimate Reloader) just got one in to review.

And let me guess... it will be amaaaaazzzzzzzzzzing. You don't do actual reviews when you want free stuff. All his machines magically work perfect. He's just an advertising agent.

I have a Co Ax so I am not in the market for one but they are in stock at my local Cabela's. Not sure if any have sold.

Sorry...didn't mean to plug anyone in particular. I merely wanted to point out that the product was starting to ship regularly. I haven't seen enough of his (UR) videos to develop an opinion...but I do appreciate that I can see new product unboxing, if its a product or product type I'm interested in. That said....I like free stuff too!

Doesn't look like you can use standard die rings

No it doesn't look that way. Was also looking on how the floating shell holder works. They have an interesting take on the CO-AX.

Saw an ad for this press made by Frankford Arsenal. How do you think this will compare to other co-ax presses on the market?

First question would be whether it is made in the USA. Support on imported products is near nonexistent.

The FA press will be much more expensive than the Forster Co-Ax. With the FA press it costs you another $5 for each die (for the die block). May not seem like much but if you have 20 dies that's another $100 added to the cost of the press. With the Forster press you just buy the press and use the die's lock ring (that you already paid for).
