hi I am as well. I have 3 operating rl1000 and 1 parts machine. As you have seen very few parts available. There is a guy on eBay that is a machinist that has started making some small parts but few. I have made most of my own and some I have specked out to a local machine shop. But most of the time I make what I need in house. These have become kind of like an old piece of equipment. Hard to sometimes find parts for but usually better in the end than any new machine. One machine I have had over 750k rnds of 223 documented thru it and it still loads better than my rl1050. Good luck in your search.
