GregInAtl Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Does anyone have a suggestion what to use for a pin to hold the primer catcher chute assembly together and where is the best place to get it. I would prefer to not have to contact Dillon to get one. RIght now I am using picture hanging wire (see picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I replaced mine with an industrial strength paper clip. It been in place for several years now. I tried other things (like a small cotter pin) but the trimmed paper clip has worked the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I believe I replaced mine with a large paper clip as well and trimmed it 1/4" on each side and pour a bend in itSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George16 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I also use a large paper clip. Cheap replacement and perfect diameter for the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybayonet Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I was able to a bag full of cotter pins a hair large (diameter) than original, drilled it, and replace it every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MifflinKid Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I use a piece of chrome plated wire. I cut it of a large safety pin. The ends a bent at 90 degree angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBugBit Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm now using half of a large safety pin. It's working better than the piece of paper clip I had going, which had binding issues. The UniqueTek spent primer catcher with the tube is also pretty nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I drilled and tapped my catch with a hose fitting and some tubing i had at work. in total cost 0 The tubing and fitting should be pretty cheap if you have a tap already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerflyer48 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 safety pin and put a small magnet on the top of the funnel to act as a counterweight to help it close when not at the bottom of the cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
