If I don’t keep my thumb on top of the safety lever, I occasionally bump the safety and engage it. It took some work but I got to the point where I could rest my thumb on the safety on a 1911 and 2011.

Hello I have used a XL650 for about 5 years and 50,000 rounds. I just bought two RL1050s yesterday and I really love them. They are both in pretty bad shape with one having more rust than the other. I am lucky that there isn’t no damage to the ram, ram cylinder or the bearing surfaces. I would like to get all of the rust off, media blasting may be the only option but please give me ideas about other options. A lot of the screws have heavy rust on them. I will probably replace the ones that are not specialty bolts. One of the presses does not have the swage rod, I will probably get two sets of the aftermarket swage rods. I am going to need, new powder dispenser glass or plastic. Both had powder sitting in it for 10 or 15 years. I am trying to decide if I should paint the frames black or something close to Dillon blue. I look forward to a lot of discussions on this forum. I am going to document the restoration with pictures. gyppo
