survivalshop Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Was sizing 308 today , already sized ,but was setting the Shoulder back a little because it was just a hair above the max case HS & the Handle twisted & broke off , on the back stroke . Had to unscrew the Die to get it out . Called MEC & since I have one of the first ( well second , they already replaced the whole press when new & there is a Thread here in the reloading section ) & they have redesigned the Handle & its attachment point on the press also . They will ship new assembly out tomorrow , it will get here quick , because it did last time , it was here like the next day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I guess you got too strong after the rehab. You don't know your own strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 That's just like commercial receiver extension or mil-spec receiver extension! Cut threads or rolled threads... Damn it, man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 New parts came to day , the Handle is not larger , they just Threaded it at the same diameter instead of turning it down & threading a smaller Shank.Also looks like a different thread pitch . I will test it out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
