I have just recently acquired a Hunter in 10mm for a friend. He doesn't care for the rear target sight, and wants to add a rear night sight or even something with dots or an outline. Does anyone have any options for the rear on a Hunter? Thanks!

PM Sent. So how is the brass tip working for you? A friend was having an issue with his 1050 today and was talking with them on the phone. I sent him a text to ask about the brass tip knowing their response. They indeed did recommend it. But I'm curious how well it is working for you. I seemed to have had trouble since day 1 with my 1050 and priming. I have considered the new slide, but at $80 that seems steep. Glad to hear there is success with the brass tip. I may also do some polishing of the channel as well.For reference, do you have the part # for the brass tip as well? After I work through the blue tips I may not have a choice but to try the brass tip. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Some are using the brass tip from the tube on the XL650, but Dillon does not recommend it due to the difference in the priming mechanisms on the 1050 and 650.

Great! Thanks!

Does anyone know the part # for the blue tip that goes on the small primer tube in the 1050? I have searched the internet over and Dillon's site and can't find a part number. I need to order a few things and just wanted to stock up a few. Also, has anyone here recently used the brass tip from the 650? Part #? I have had all kinds of priming issues and was thinking of trying the brass tip as well. Thanks!

I would be interested in these as well but dont want to be the first. Would like to see the quality first.

Im not sure which number it is, but it looks like the longer spring is included in the parts kit. The short one may be as well, but I didn't open it up and get everything out to look. I may play with the cotter pin before I replace the springs. Seems to me its length could vary from being installed.

I'd like to have the new primer slide with the brass roll pin. But my 1050 only has 12k plus rounds through it and many were a struggle with priming. Id rather spend the 90 towards a caliber conversion. Just seems it should work better than this constant tinkering.

Resurrecring this thread. I tore primer system down 3 times this morning to clean everything out. I may have to go back to my rubber band!I am on my 2nd 12486. Its getting a pretty good groove in it. Should these see this much wear? At this rate I need to order them by the pound.

True story! Don't ask how I know.

Do you happen to have a part number? I have heard of this new slide, and haven't been able to find it. I did a couple weeks ago put some new vacuum hose on, that seemed to help. Between that and adjusting everything again it seem to be running better. But I am about to switch over to 5.56 for a while and hope i don't run in to problems again. Thanks!

I did adjust the swage a little bit, I do seem to be pretty consistent now in the 0-1 per 100 range. I have the primer arm thing thats bolted to the primer tube cocked slightly to the left. That has always seemed to work best on my machine.

Not having any of the parts currently, does a piece of PVC pipe or something work as the spacer?

I have gone over most everything mentioned from the rubber piece to the sliding freely and such. I had initially did the case cut in half to get it set up initially but I believe I will go back and revisit this area again. Thanks.

When did you get your 1050? Mine is only a few months old and I have the rubber piece. I must have gotten one of the last ones.

True, I probably got ahead of myself. Thats more reasonable with the trigger and slide milling.

$818..... $318 for slide milling and trigger job...... don't know if that is fair price or not. I have no idea what people pay for slide milling for a dot. Is it worth that? I think thata high. You arent to far off from doubling the price of the gun.

What's an acceptable amount of missed primers out of 100? I get anywhere from 1-12 cases that miss a primer. Very frustrating. Thanks!

When you say "loose" is the knurled nut touching the primer tube?

Thanks Jim,That was the first thing I did. Everything looks and acts okay. I don't get why it only does it sometimes. Like I said, maybe 10 out of 100. Frustrating! Im in the same boat and about the same rate of missed primers. I so not have the vacuum hose currently and am going to put that back on and see if that helps.

That looks great! Did you do that yourself?

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

Same boat here. I've been in contact with them since February, they kept saying to check back. I finally got the go ahead to orde, but have to wait for delivery. Oh well, I've been my whole life without a Glock, so it's not a big deal.I've been unsuccessfully trying to locate a blue label 34 MOS. I've got a discount GSSF cert that's expiring in Oct. Might just have to use it on a G43 and not play in CO for a while...From what someone else said earlier they were going to have to pay extra to get the 34 MOS. I would think about getting the most expensive pistol and sell it then put the cash with it. You may end up with a 34 MOS quicker.

What has been your experience with the dovetail mount? Would be cheaper to try it out and see if you like it before buying a new gun thats already milled or milling an existing gun.
