    This is a Redding T7.

    I like it, but the handle didn't sit quite where I wanted it to.

    I wanted it raked forward to stop where it felt natural for for my arm, so it felt less awkward.

    I took the original handles plus a length of wire bent to the shape I wanted to an Engineer and asked him to make me a handle.

    He added the nylon grip at the end of the bar.

    Works well, just pivots a bit unless done up really tight.

    I may have to take it back and have something welded to the bottom to stop it moving sideways.
    I like it, been thinking of doing something similar with my press. Have you seen the 1's that Inline Fabrication make?

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Hadn't seen them, but they look even better.

    In part it came from using a lee handle with a roller, that I wished was raked forward. Then I thought why not get one bent to my specifications.

    My one works ok, just have to hold the handle lightly and let it slip through my fingers a little with each cycle if doing hundreds of rounds, otherwise my hand gets a bit sore.
