This one has the old primer feed that has a wire spring that dispenses one primer at a time from the tube but was missing the tray. I called MEC and they wanted $76 plus shipping for the tray! More than I wanted to pay but the tube will hold ten primers dropped in one by one. And it does not screw up like the new primer feeds with the chain and spring. Of all the things that will drive you crazy with a MEC is getting the primers to feed correctly without hanging up. Frustrating to say the least for me.
