Christmas is coming. It'll go on sale for a lot less. If you're interested in adjustable top tables and movability, take a look at this selection: https://www.homedepot.com/s/husky%2520a ... ght?NCNI-5

Yep, Home Depot seems to own this niche of adjustable top tool chests, vs. Lowe's, Amazon, etc. This one is great, but $600 kinda blows the doors off of what I was thinking...

I've actually scoped this one out and am being told they will have more in stock by tomorrow. My space is such that I only want/need/can handle 4' long and this one adjusts to the height of my other benches. Has had great reviews and has space underneath for modular storage, rolling drawer stacks, etc.

That is a nice one. Looks like you could spin off the the feet and add casters to it too. A couple locking casters and it would stay in place when you have it parked. I have under table wheeled carts too. They are very useful.

While I'm still able I've been adding casters to my storage racks and/or buying shop furniture that come with casters. Days are not too far off where my pushing and dragging stuff across the floor will be limited to whatever is on wheels.

I'm with ya! Gladiator officially discourages casters on this one because of tipping concerns (i guess), but that's my plan anyway.

Talk about a highjacked thread...

I worry about tipping with my tallest racks, so real careful about moving them. I don't see much of tipping concern with the table you're interested in.
Getting a little bit back on topic target, see if you can find an undermount thin drawer to store all those spare mag tubes.

Nice recovery!

[Mistered]

Just a hint here - reloading requires a fairly solid benchtop. Remember you are going to be pulling a press handle and you don't want anything so light as to be pulled forward when you are operating the press. Also you want it solidly on the floor and not on casters where if can move around. The press needs to be on a relatively solid, non moving location.
Another thing while those toolbox style benches with the wood tops are great (I want one myself but not for reloading) it's possible the top drawer could be inhibited from opening with the press mounted due to the lower portion of the press hanging below the bench top.

[ESquared]

Yeah, I've got the press mounted on the right side of this all-wood bench. My son and I made it. Mirror image of one that sits to the right, out of the frame. Douglas fir, 4X4 corners, pegboard back, bottom shelf.

Attached one of those lightweight 3-drawer stacks for light stuff.

Very sturdy.

The table will be a "return" set at 90 degrees on the left hand side.

Dog not included.

With the locking casters, it won't move around.

You better anchor the table down. The torque of resizing even 30-30 cases could tip that table.
Reloading presses have 14 inch handles for a reason.

MrEd said it first just more gently.

I was lucky when we moved into this house there was a welding table in the garage. Used it to pile laundry.
16 years later it made a great reloading table.

[Rifletom]

That dog looks like he owns the joint. And probably does!

[Rifletom]

Hmmm, haven't received tube yet. Another week won't hurt.

The Gladiator table isn't for the press, it's already attached to the bench in the pic (with the dog, who DOES own the joint), which is comprised of about 300 lbs of Douglas Fir, plus the stuff that's loaded on it. If need be, I'll add some dead weight to the bottom shelf. Still waiting on the side-table (Gladiator) to pull the whole thing together.

I'd bug 'em. Squeaky wheel.

[Rifletom]

I called Henry regarding the magazine tube. They didn't have a record of it being sent out. Soo, they're sending one yesterday. Probably kinda busy this time of year. That'll work.

[ESquared]

That's what I meant about "squeaky wheel." If it feels like it's been too long, based on what you've been told, then something likely fell through the cracks (meaning YOU).
As automated as some of this might seem, the human factor in the process can leave an open switch somewhere.

Right hand/left hand, or "I thought you were handling that," whatever you want to call it, some things just have to be bird-dogged.

[Rifletom]

Yea! Returned home from my son's place about 3:00 pm yesterday, there it was by the front door. Works perfectly. I can not tell any difference between the two. Going back out to the desert tomorrow to do some more shooting. Do like these lever rifles.

If this is in wrong forum, please move. But, here goes. Ever since I bought my BB Brass in .357, I've had a dickens of a time getting the plunger tube to open and close on that small notch to secure during firing. Is there a simple "fix" for this? I do not want to send it to Henry just for that. It shoots too good. Hopefully, you folks here will get me thru this small issue.Thank you and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Again, thanks.

I have the same rifle and the same problem. I’ve just learned to deal with it.
