    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    ok, so gonna bite the bullet and get one. But can I ask my fellow compatriots to share your positive experiences/recommendations ? Understand these are pricey and thats ok. I think I'm looking for:

    * Heater

    * Vibration

    * Drain plug

    * looks like Prologix is a good one-step solution but if you have another please share. If it helps Im an open shooter.

    Thanks!

    STI Aluminum Grips - CRACKED

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    Hi All-

    So I started the topic with my cracked STI aluminum small grip. Its a brand new gun. I have no more than 500 rounds through it. There are two cracks on either side of the grip above the mag catch. Starting from the top and moving down half way to the mag catch.

    Nothing official yet, but after a considerable amount of testing, it appears that either the bevel where the case goes into the shellplate will be changed, or more polishing to the entryway to round the sharp edges at the entryway will be done. Smoothing the entrance area with a scotchbrite wheel helps considerably. No decision has been reached yet,but the R&D folks are still using the CAD software as an etch-o-sketch.

    Thanks Dillon for the research. Go figure that a small fix like this would do it. My machine is back to you under RMA 111743 with an enclosed letter - should have it in a few days.

    R&D has a machine set up and has been playing with it. Hope to have something early next week. Will post when I do. :unsure:

    thanks

    Brass tilt not impacted by the grabbing effect noted above. This effect has been reduced dramatically with the use of Redding competition dies. The powder funnel and the crimping stations were doing this.

    so we are down to the brass tilt impact still.

    thanks

    Machine on the way back to Dillon for RMA repair.

    When we get the opportunity we're going to set up a 1050 in supercomp and run it and see what we find.

    Thanks. By way of update the autodrive connected and it rocks! cant believe more people dont use it. ill post a vid when i get a chance.

    One thought about the brass tilt (still happening). I have two stations that stick a bit (create vibration) that may be impacting the brass tilt situation. One is the powder funnel that creates the flair. The other is the last crimping station which I use a Lee die for. Becuase the machine grabs for just a moment at each of these stations one hypothesis is that this creates a little jump and prevents the case plunger from seating the empty brass properly.

    So, do you guys get the same grabbing effect at these two stations ? If the answer is no how do you properly flair and crimp on your machine ?

    Again:

    * New Starline .38 SC brass

    * KISS

    Thanks,

    Hi. i replaced the shell plate to no avail. went back to original plate and ground the shell holes so there were no sharp angles. Then polished them. Helped a bit. Basically I have the top half off and push brass in through the plunger. Shells dont reliably go into the holes in the shell plate when pushed in. Ive experimented with different heights of the shell plate. Im using new (never fired starline).

    The shell plunger does have a snap to it so I can go to the cutting of the spring route...

    Folks-

    Have a new Super 1050 wand got all to work sweet EXCEPT for every 8-10 rounds brass is either (1) jamming the shell plate when fed in or (2) fed on top of the shell plate. Starline NEW (never fired) brass. Unlubed.

    Seems to have Dillon baffled. Ive replaced virtually every part including the shell plate (#3). Ive adjusted the shell plate up and down in lots of positions and cant seem to make it go away.

    Im sure one of you brave souls have dealt with this.

    Thank you,

    Jay

    Comp Cleaning

    for those using a Dremel tool -

    what dremel attachment you suggest for minimal invasiveness/maximum effectiveness ?

    thanks

    I bought a used open gun in .38 super, a while back that the previous owner had apparently shot lead through, because the comp has lead in it. I scrapped the biggest chunks out, with a jewler's screwdriver, then tried soaking it in mineral spirits for a week, thinking that may soften it up, or help release it. That didn't help, a bit.

    I then soaked it in Kroil for a week with no apparent results.

    Anybody out there any ideas??
