I ended making a wet tumbler , it does the job but I’m not happy with it. All the ones on eBay they sell are cheap and have issue with leaks cracking and noise. , the rebel 17 look to be the one to get quiet and robust. Pommy Mark is trying to source a new supply but recons it slow.
I should have got one from him when he had them for $400 but didn’t . Now to bring it in direct it’s in the $500 mark.

Things have progressed with stainless media tumblers to the point of comodization. That means you can buy design specific kits dirt cheap. These are much better thought out and are available from Hornady, Lyman, and Frankfort Arsenal as well as others. When my Tumblers Tumbler finishes rusting out, it will be replaced with one of them.
