On my local CL. This may not sound exciting or amazing to you, but being isolated does have it's drawbacks. I've been after a Harbor Freight press for awhile to use in AK builds and auto repairs, but the shipping to paradise is always as much as the press costs. I finally found a guy selling a 6-ton model, mint condition (he claims "used only once" and from looking at it I'd spank that!) so I snapped it up. $50. Not only have I had a AK receiver flat press jig sitting unused for a few years that can now be broken out again, but bearings, seals, etc can now be more professionally attacked!

Yippee to me. It's the small victories that count.
 
Hey Shotwell! Yea, I can already think of a 1,000 other uses. The press-gap isn't all that huge, and I'd have loved to get the larger 8- or 12-ton models but this'll do. For now.
