Nimitz Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 While reloading 300-400 rds last night the pistol slide on the platform assembly would get stuck once in a while and not load a case into station one. What could be casuing this? I didn't see any obvious reason for it hanging up and a slight tap and the slide would spring into position ...Does it need to be lubed? Has something come loose or maybe it's dirty and needs to be cleaned? Or is something else causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The spring in there gets weak, you probably have 1 in your spare parts kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You talkin' 650? If so I have found that once it starts to get touchy I take it off and clean it well and then polish the ramp and rails. If you keep using it and letting it snag on casings it starts to get gouged and just gets worse and worse. I take some black sandpaper to it and then buff it. The worst is when upside down cases were getting through. They trashed it and chewed it up and pretty much made it unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillon Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Be sure to grease both sides of the track this slides on, as well as the inclined ramp that the pin slides on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thx! I have greased the side rails but didn't know to grease the inclined ramp as well .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 The Allen wrench screw on the side of the ramp was loose which was probably causing the issue .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
