Lee app is getting a roller handle

[Mollyboy]

Just on the lee website and on the bottom of the app page they show a roller handle upgrade. Looks like you get new levers with the upgrade. Don’t know how to post the link maybe someone else can help.

Just a guess, but maybe Lee did the cheap handle before they were sure it would be a success. Guess it is..........bigtime....:)

Lee just needs to shut up and take my money :D

Looks really nice. I’ll need two. Always some new doo-dad to buy but I don’t seem to mind!

Too bad they are out of stock.
Looks like something that a lot will like. The red knob handle may tend to chafe your fingers if use for longer periods of time.
I have thought about getting one of their roller handle kits to see if it would work on my Challenger press.

Not just a handle....the lever will have to be replaced too......so far mums the word at Lee....not much info.

Lee's like every other reloading manufacturer.......except they nickel and dime you to death instead of $50 and $100 you to death!(Okay $25 and $30 instead of $250 and $300 might be more accurate.) ;)

On the web site the roller handle kit is $30. It includes the roller and the steel parts. The major difference is the steel on one side is bent different. I doubt the price difference isn't that much.

Lee's got a "date"......July 10. Maybe that means September 10.....a happy post Covid date we hope......

Someone posted elsewhere (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?354324-Making-that-Bullet-Collator&p=4886370&viewfull=1#post4886370) that it appears they just took the existing levers and swapped them around - and then put the bar handle between.

I never would have noticed that, or thought of modifying the factory parts myself. Mechanically adept I am not, but I'll be looking at my APP today to see if I can apply another's insight.

Received the upgraded roller handle from Lee. It's nice. Definitely how it should have come in the first place.

I was thinking about the inline fabrication upgrade handle.

This isn’t the one you linked. But it is an Inline roller. Just happens to be from a LCT handle that I didn’t find comfortable. I had to bore out the hole on the APP arms as the threaded insert was larger than the stock hole. It’s infinitely more comfortable for me.

Very nice. Yeah the stock handle is not very comfortable when decapping crimped brass.

I tried swapping the levers left to right, it wont work. On the levers where the holes are one is flush the other stick out. They only bolt on one way. If you bolt them on the opposite the one bolt won't work. The lever is to far away from the frame.
Adding a handle like dragon813gt did wouldn't be hard to do
I have a wood lathe I can turn a handle on then most any bolt and a couple nuts to hold it.
