S&W627shooter Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I would like to replace the white plastic wedge ("Primer Station retain tab"?) that hold the shells at the primer station on my 1050 with the metal piece that looks like a paper clip. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliveb Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I used the "clip" from station 1 of the 550b press - just snipped off the extra piece (part 13926 "cartridge spring") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78Staff Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 What is the benefit here over the tab... to allow one to remove the case quicker/easily if need be? I switched to the clear tab, but it's not particularity useful at all really - you stil have to unbolt it completely if you want to remove a case (well, a 45 case at least) at that station to check/clear any primer issue... I was thinking about dremeling the slot open on the shell plate end so you could just slide it out when needed... But if the spring mod allows one to just pop it out I might use a 550 spring out of my spares kit. :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the "spring" mod enables you to use a compressor to blow out any debris from a smashed primer, and it enables you to get the primer out of there without removing the tab. I thought about cutting the slot longer as well so I could loosen the screw a little and slide the tab back out of the way, but I haven't tried it yet. It slows me down when I have to get the allen wrench, loosen the screw, clear the problem, and then tighten it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&W627shooter Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Ok, so here is my temporary fix until I can get a spring clip to replace the tab. I cut out a slot in the tab to allow it to slide out away from the case. I still have to loosen the screw by a half turn, but it does make enough room to remove the case and revoke the primer debris! If I loosen the screw a few more turns, I can life the tab up over the metal channel in which it rides, and rotate it completely out of the way without having to remove the screw completely.

Personally I am a fan of the @AmmoBrass Primer chutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kema Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Sure, it would take about an hour of drawing and maybe 2-3 iterations to reproduce I would like to have some space to solve possible issues compared to ammobrass design. At least pokey pokey hole But I have a daytime job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
