1050 spewing primers all over

[waktasz]

Are primers supposed to fall freely out of the bottom of the magazine tube through the blue plastic tip? I recently replaced mine and now the press is shooting new primers onto the ground with every cycle.

No. Definitely not.

the knurled knob at the top of the primer tube should be just barely finger tight. 
mom guessing you may have damaged that blue tip while installing.

[waktasz]

I really don't think so. 
I have another one I'll try though.

Knurled nut is barely touching the top but the same thing happens when it's completely loose. 

[waktasz]

Got it figured out. I didn't have the primer magazine fully seated into the...thing

do you have a primer stop pin in place?

[waktasz]

Not sure what that is so I guess not

Ahh ya. That blue tip has a little slot on the side that when aligned falls down into place. You can feel it go that last like 1/8” when you drop it in and gently turn it.

i f*#ked one up the first time I replaced mine and then ordered like 10. Of coarse it’s been fine ever since.

Yes, primers are supposed to fall freely through the blue (small) and red (large) primer tips, regardless of the machine model.

There is very little documentation on correctly orienting the tip of the primer magazine.  Very easy to miss in the manual!

Be sure the key on the tip (#14003 - large or #14024 - small) is in the slot and the magazine is all the way down in place. Fig. 32

 

Glad you figured it out!

Those primers, once they escape captivity, can roll, run, and hide really quick.  Like dropping a screw or nut, said item can roll uphill to the back wall of the bench.

Lordy Lordy.

  I have a  550c.  there is a pin shaped plastic 'rod" that is placed below the tip of the primer magazine. as the primer slide moves back to load a primer, the primer  cup pushes the primer stop pin out of the way then one primer falls into the cup and as the slid e  moves forward the pin stops the primers  from just falling out.

There’s no primer stop pin like that in the 1050/1100 machines.

Interesting George 16.  looking at the 1100 diagram, I see you are  right.

 

wondering how that RL prevents the spewing the OP is  experiencing?  it is not obvious looking at the diagram of the machine
