After many frustrating attempts at getting my LoadMaster to work reliably, it ended up in the corner where it spent over a year.
I decided to give it another try last week.
There was no way that I could get the turret to turn reliably.
I messed with it and messed with it. I tried repairing what was obviously the problem. I tried designing and installing a spring to force it to work. [smilie=b:
I used to own a 450 model of another brand and it worked perfectly every time.
After a bit of dis-assembly, Dremel tool machine work, JB welding, more machine work,,,, success.
I now own a Loadmaster with a steel ball detent (like a certain blue colored press), and it now works beautifully.[smilie=w:
