Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. So I went to take the main shaft pivot pin out and it didn’t want to come out even with the retaining screw fully removed. I soaked it in penetrating oil and let it sit for a while and then was able to hammer it out. It looks like on one side there is some marring of the finish on both the pin and the frame that I assume is galling. Here is a pic of the pin: Can this be fixed myself or does it need to be sent back to Dillon? Thanks for any input.
  2. Your suggestion is a good one and I will give it a try. I am embarrassed to say that the cross pin has never been lubed. The heat generated from a long loading session may have caused some galling. I did see that in Dillon’s video called “Major Cleaning and Lubing of the Dillon Precision RL550B” (available on Dillon’s YouTube) they show that locktite should be used on this set screw and that once it is tight you should back it off 1/8th of a turn. That was for the 550 but that screw seems to work the same way on the 650. I don’t remember seeing that in the 650 manual but am also not sure how often people are removing that set screw.
  3. The one that goes vertically up the bottom of the shaft. Thanks.
  4. The effort required to pull the handle on my 5 year old XL650 suddenly increased a lot while reloading. I removed the shell plate, platform and primer assembly and the bare main shaft still felt like something was dragging and felt very rough while being raised and lowered. Upon loosening the main shaft set screw a quarter of a turn, all of the extra resistance went away. How tight is the main shaft set screw supposed to be? Maybe adding some grease to the tip of the set screw would solve my problem and allow it to function properly with the set screw fully tightened. Thanks in advance for any input on this problem.
  5. You can order the perman grips with the cuts for the techwell. That would be the easiest solution for you. Reach out to him and see if there is any upcharge.
  6. I remember being told you could move the switch between the two positions to allow it to be used on the 550 or 650. Unfortunately I don't think it is the kind of thing you would want to do frequently to switch between the two machines.
  7. Looks cool....which is really what a lot of this stuff comes down to.I'm sure someone will say it gives a little extra velocity, but that should be negligible.

    VP9 loads

    I've shot about 300 of 132 pf reloads through my new VP9 without any issues. I have read that sometimes new guns require stout loads to function properly but that was not my experience. YMMV.
  9. Check Red Hill Training out of Maryland. He has a web site that's pretty basic but if you check his Facebook page he has lots of examples of his work. I believe he has 20+ color options for kydex and some of them are very bright. His work is good quality, reasonably priced and he is a competitive shooter who knows how this gear will be used.
  10. Blade Tech makes the WRS duty holster that is available for CZ's. It is on the CZC website but the one customer review is pretty negative. No experience with it myself, just passing it on.
  11. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you arguing that Wilson is owned by Beretta? If not then this is completely unrelated isn't it? What seems to be missing from the beretta/wilson piece of this discussion is that everything I have read says that Wilson doesn't do any work on the Berettas bearing their name. They created the specs and beretta builds it that way using some of Wilson's parts. This is not analogous to CZ Custom taking a base gun and doing further work on it.
  12. He's using a Hundo which is tighter than your Dillon gauge. Most of the rounds that won't go all the way in my Hundo will drop right into my Dillon gauge.
  13. How are these marked to differentiate them from the regular 9? Thanks.
  14. This made me crack up. I thought I was the only one who did that.
