Old style Lee hand prime

[abunaitoo]

Anyone still use the old Lee hand prime?????
The one with the round primer tray.
I have some parts for it.

[Lloyd Smale]

I do. I still have 4 of them.

I have one (round) that I bought in the 80's. Today I use it to dump my primers in to put them in the primer tubes.

[daloper]

I have and still use mine. I wish I was smart enough to have bought two. At the time I did not think that I would ever need to use it for the SPP.

[jmorris]

I do too. I lost the small primer pin somewhere but another member had one he sent me.

Keep everything in its original box on the shelf these days.

[Hickok]

I still use mine.

[jhrosier]

I have two. One is still in use, the other needs the dawg-bone shaped link replaced.
I wish I had bought spare parts when they were available.

[Lloyd Smale]

by the way I have some spares parts so maybe someone other then me will benefit more from this.

[Ole Joe Clarke]

I have used the same one since the mid 70's, (last century), works great. Spare parts would be great though. I only use it for small primers which are by far the ones I use most of. I did deburr it when I bought it new and keep it greased per the instructions.

Have a blessed day,

I have 8 to 12 but have given a couple few away. Regardless, I have a fleet and a bone-yard of parts. I got a bunch of replacement "tops" so I am good for 20 to 30 years. Great tool.

[Guesser]

Yup!! 1 each set up for each size; spare parts under the bench.....

[rancher1913]

I love using them over the newer ones with all the safety **** on them, I know its there for a reason but its just more stuff to cause problems. have 2 but one is out of commission until I can find the dog bone shaped piece that goes from the handle to the pushrod, somebody needs to cast a few of these and sell them.

[mold maker]

Like many, I have and regularly use 2 of them. I recently bought a 3rd just in case.
I agree that someone could do us all a favor by reproducing the couple popular parts.

[mazo kid]

If any of you that have spare parts would like to share some, please PM me with what you have and prices. I could use another top tray assembly as one of mine is compromised (but still usable). Thanks.

[mckyboy]

I've used mine since 93, still keep it in its original box.

[Green Frog]

I've got two in the basement, one each for small and large primers, but honestly, I much prefer the earlier, one-primer-at-a-time style with the screw-in shell holders. I've got one of those set up for about every caliber I'm likely to load regularly and a box of spare shell holders.

Still use my 3, in fact except for 50BMG it's the only priming tool I use. Bought spare thumb "Spoons" several years ago because I started breaking the originals, haven't had problems since I replace the originals that bent or broke.

[daboone]

I've hung on to my 6 round trays as I still find use for the Auto Prime II.

[robg]

Got 2 ,one since 82 .got the second one about 10 years ago repaired broken lever on one as you can't get new ones now .might get the new bench primer tool one day. Why did they change a tool that just works so well?

[GOPHER SLAYER]

I could use the round plastic cover for mine. I have two of the tools, one for large primers and one for small. One cover got so old and brittle it shattered when I dropped it on the floor. If you have one I would left, let me know please.
