ark_fireman Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I just received a new 650 machine with video and while mounting/assembling it, I noticed that I had no powder bar return springs as shown in the video. The powder bar does have a "post" for the springs but my machine didnt have any. I know this video is about 10 years old and I was wondering if there was a change of design that phased them out or if mine just werent packed.

ChuckS Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 John, Welcome to the forums! I found this using the search function: powder measure spring thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The part number for the spring is 14036. Brian gave me this when I bought the press. It runs much better after the retrograde with the springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Are you running the PM without the retrograde and just the springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I did half of the retrograde which disabled the return arm and uses just the springs. I'm too lazy to drill and replace pieces. It's been a few years, I need to go home and look at what I did. Order the springs they are the way to go. Maybe I'll order another PM and do it again.

ark_fireman Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ok, thanks for the replies! I went ahead and kicked out 300 10mm's before I asked anyone and fiqured I might need to make sure before I did anymore loading. I was suprised at how easy it all went. I was expecting the machine to be much more finniky than it was. From the time I started drilling the holes in the bench till the first round hit the plastic tray was about only a couple of hours (i dont know how long it should have taken, this is my first progressive) and now i'm hooked!! Once again, thanks for the help, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
