Link Arm (with hook), wear?
Quote from Reloader on August 21, 2017, 6:05 pmMy well used 550b, at least twenty years old and many thousands or rounds through it has seemingly developed a little "wobble" in the right-hand link arm (w/hook) despite the fact that I installed a grease fitting in all the oil holes years ago and keep grease in it.
Should I be contacting Dillon about a replacement arm or is it no big deal?
