Djp55 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hey all, Loading some ammo and the primer slide piece doesn't seem to be going all the way back. I've tried adjusting the arm that articulates that slider, but it doesn't seem to be fixing it. Is it possible the spring in this picture is the cause? Since it isn't going all the way back, it's not picking up another primer so it's not pushing in a primer for each round. Thoughts/ideas/suggestions? https://i.imgur.com/Sl15zXf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebg3 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is this a new problem? My 1050 always needed a small washer shim between the primer slide stop and the press to allow the slide to go back enough to pick up a primer. I loaded for several years like this. Last year, I ordered the new primer slide that has the brass bushing that replaced the rubber tubing on the slide and a new slide stop. Now my press picks up primers without needing a shim. Check your primer magazine/tube tip to make sure it is not damaged or bent. I replace the blue magazine tips if there is any question of damage to them.

Djp55 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 It's not necessarily a new problem, but definitely an intermittent one. Some days it'll go 4k rounds without a hitch, others it won't go 400. I'll try swapping out those blue tips, I have a spare anyway and there was some wear on it last I checked.

Djp55 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Any idea what that metal replacement part is called or where to find it? 30 mins on the Googles and I can't seem to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp55 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm still running into some issues, I took a quick video because I may not be explaining it all that well. I'm out of ideas, if anyone can take a look and toss me any ideas, I'd really appreciate it: https://youtu.be/83YmYL_NHXM -DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideOpenThrottle Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I was having this exact same issue. Like you, I hardly had to move the actuating lever much at all to get it to pick up a primer. So, I pulled the slide out, cleaned it up, and then applied a thin layer of lithium grease lightly to the sides and bottom and top. That seem to solve the problem.

L3324temp Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Take it all apart and clean it. On piece of corn cob media will make you pull all your hair on a 1050. The ratchet system is a whole nother story.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp55 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I took it apart earlier today and oiled it lightly with some full synthetic. I can take it apart again and try more. I also removed the ratchet bit due to the autodrive, was a colossal pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebg3 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It seems something is "binding" at the end of the primer slide's motion. Check to see if the "arm" is running parallel to the priming slide track from start to finish. The arm can get turned a little on the priming magazine housing and cause problems. I set the arm depth when it is vertical, slide down to contact press and just move it up a little for clearance. I can't tell from the video if you are using the old style slide with the rubber tubing or the new style with the brass bushing on the slide. If using tubing, that may need to be replaced. Is the bushing or primer seating stem/punch under the slide causing any drag or clearance issues with the bottom of the slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Check to make sure the primer arm (that pushes/pulls the primer slide) is not bent forward. This would do just as you experience. The springs on the primer arm, might need to be replaced too, though I have not had to do that yet. I run an AmmoBot on mine, and have loaded/processed maybe 50-100K so far. Also, loose that ratchet crap. Keep plenty of the plastic primer magazine tube tips on hand. They are a disposable commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 On the rear of your primer slide, is there a roll pin, or a screw and a brass roller? If you have a roll pin, it is missing the rubber sleeve that goes over it. Go to an automotive supply store, buy a foot of 1/8" automotive vacuum hose. Slice off enough tubing to just cover the roll pin. That will give you the additional movement your primer slide needs to pick up a primer.

Djp55 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks for the help all. It looks like the metal piece that causes the articulation had flattened on one side and swapping that seems to have fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
