cbrussell Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I just received correspondence from GSI; they no longer are no longer producing bullet feeders. (I couldn't find them on their website so I emailed them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetimb Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I just ordered a tool head the other week and haven't heard a peep about anything. Time to call them tomorrow. Edited June 20, 2017 by Thetimb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetimb Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I called today. They said they were having issues with the online ordering transposing product IDs. Explains the removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 That's a shame. I didn't like their collator system (having to change rings for different bullet types is a hassle) but I did like the idea of placing and seating the bullet in the one station thus allowing 1050 and 650's to not loose a station to bullet placement. I chose a mr BF for the collator but having competition in the market is always a good thing so I'm sad to see them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbitNutz Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I have their 650 tool heads in 45 and 9/38, as well as all the seating stems. They are really quality products and perform well. The collator...meh....not so much. It is not versatile in the least. I got my collator working for my 45 185gr HP BB NLG Hi-Tek coated but that was it. Played with most of the rings and have now given up on that. The collar quickly becomes a jam-o-matic when fed any sort of alien bullet. I'm going to hook a Mr. Bullet Feeder collator and micro switch up to drop bullets into the GSI tool head. I'm waiting for the USPS to drop off the required pieces/parts as I write this.

AbitNutz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I just got all the MBF bits today and was ready to MacGyver a hookup between the GSI and MBF. No need. The Output from the micro switch die body on the MBF and the aluminum casting that fits into the GSI tool head are both 5/8's OD. All it's going to take is a 5/8's OD, 1/2 ID tube. I could even use one of the springs that you run bullets through but I want something rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetimb Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 So they really don't sell anything related to bullet feeders anymore. They don't warrant tool heads either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbitNutz Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well...I guess if it fails and I can't get some spares from them or fix it myself....I become a 100% MBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagdad45 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I talked to them last week, the bullet collator is going away. They will still build tool heads while they have parts, rings and bullet chutes can still be bought. I was going to order a couple of tool heads just to have.

AbitNutz Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I talked to Gordon today. They'll still warranty all that has been bought and if you need parts, they have them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetimb Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 They have some major miss communication going on. I called two days ago and the lady who answers the phone said they don't sell them and they don't warranty the toolheads. Anyone have a contact we act we can ask for that knows what's going on?
