Quote from Reloader on April 7, 2008, 7:42 pmMy primer slide is sticking. I want to know what I can use to keep this from happening. I thought about powderd graphite, Im unsure.

I use silacone spray on all moving parts, it doesn't cause build up of oil or greese residue and keeps rust from forming.

The only place to lube is the top of the operating rod where it goes into the small bracket clamped around the shield.

Quote from Reloader on April 11, 2008, 1:56 amMy large primer slide was sticking. When I took it apart I cleaned it with acetone and a scothbrite pad even though it was not at all dirty. I then remembered about there being a certain height in the manual. I checked it and sure enough... it was too high. I slacked the set screw and adjusted it down within spec. It has not so much as hic-cupped in over 2000+ rounds. The fact that it was too high made it hang up on the bottom of the primer tube. Check yours to see if that is the case as well.
Regards,
