Caliber Conversion Section (continued)
Note: About Steps 16 and 17. Both the camming pin and Station 2
locator tab do not require removal or replacement. Instead, depending on the caliber
change, they may need to be readjusted. Whether or not these two items need to be adjusted
depends on the diameter of the base of the case and nothing else. If, for example, you are
converting from 9mm to .45 ACP, because the diameter of the two cases are different,
both the camming pin and Station 2 locator will need to be readajusted. If, on the other
hand, you are converting from, say, .45 ACP to .30-06 or .308, you will not have to
readjust these two items - the diameters at the base of these cases are the same.
Step 16
Adjusting the camming pin Figure 188 (see previous note):
1. Place a case in both Station 1 and Station 2. The case in
Station 2 must have a primer - the primer can be spent or new.
2. Using a 9/16" wrench, loosen the lock nut Figure 189 on the
camming pin.
3. Using a 1/8" Allen wrench, turn the camming pin clockwise Figure 190 four or five turns - or enough so that when you push the handle
to the full aft stop Figure 191.
4. With the handle pushed against its full rearward stop, start
backing the camming pin out by turning it counter clockwise Figure 190.
Continue to back the camming out until the case stops its forward movement into the
shellplate. Once the case becomes fully inserted into Station 1, stop turning the camming
pin. The case insert slide (see arrow Figure 192) does not push the
case fully into Station 1 Figure 192 - this will give you a place to
start the adjustment.
Note: The objective here is that - at the
point the case becomes fully inserted into shellplate (with the handle against its full
rearward stop) - the camming pin is still in contact with the case insert slide cam - or
at least within a 1/16" of the case insert slide cam (see arrow Figure
193).
5. Once properly adjusted, tighten the lock nut. |
