Fireant Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 All of a sudden the spring from the collator to the tool head keeps popping off. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you fix it. The more I put it back in, the less time it stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Are you screwing it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think he is talking about the big spring the bullets fall through. That should screw into the parts kind of like a helicoil I THINK. I know mine will not pull out without turning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 There is always duct tape I guess. I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too_Slow Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have the original KISS unit and have had that happen. You have to twist the spring while you push it into the receptacle on the collator. What I found was that if you don't have the spring in far enough the bullets hit it as they drop and end up knocking the spring out again. The spring has to be seated all the way into the receptacle.

Fireant Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm going to try the tape idea. I pushed that spring in as far as I could with a screwdriver to get it seated and it lasted 20 rounds. I'll tape it up tonight and try. Thanks.
