Forster 1-1/4" Crossbolt Die Lock Ring Co-Ax XL 6-Pack
Premium crossbolt die lock rings for Forster Co-Ax XL presses. Clamps around entire die for precise alignment without thread damage. Includes six rings and hex key.
Precision Die Locking for Serious Reloaders
Forster's crossbolt die lock rings represent a thoughtful departure from conventional screw-in designs. Rather than threading directly into the die itself—a practice that risks thread damage and misalignment—these rings clamp around the entire die body for superior precision.
Key Features
- Crossbolt Design: A steel cross bolt with hex socket replaces the traditional threaded screw, eliminating the risk of stripping die threads
- Universal Compatibility: Fits standard 7/8"-14 thread dies from most manufacturers
- Precise Alignment: Clamps around the die's full circumference for reliable, cant-free positioning
- Simple Operation: Tightening and loosening requires only a 7/64" hex key (Allen wrench)
- Quantity: Six lock rings per package
Why This Matters
Die threads are precision components. Forcing a screw directly into them introduces wear and potential misalignment. Forster's clamping approach preserves die integrity while delivering the rock-solid alignment that serious reloaders demand. These rings come standard on Forster's Bench Rest dies—a testament to their effectiveness.
Whether you're fine-tuning loads for competition or maintaining a reliable reloading setup, these lock rings offer the precision and durability that separate quality equipment from the ordinary.
