... or pics thereof I should say.

I'm trying to determin what the difference is in the JR3 primer feed arm verses the Rockchucker's primer feed arm system.

Reason is a customer is having trouble using his RCBS JR3 with the RCBS style ram ejector arm I've sent with the dies and I want to find the problem.

So if any members here would be so kind as to post a photo or 2 of the ram arm slot area and the press, I would be very greatful.

May be an all expense paid trip to SE Asia in the works as a thankyou as well.

Oooh Fred- that is ugly! ....:mrgreen:

Here's the pic of a Rockchucker with the ejector arm in it. Do you have the same pin hole for the stock primer arm under all that custom paint? ...:mrgreen:

This one's pretty ugly too.

The light spot is the hole, its about an inch lower than the Rockchucker.

If I put the bolt though that hole, it does not contact the ejector arm.
It needed to be longer by a tad

OK- I see what happened.

I had a friend make those who has Rock Chucker, but he made them about 1/4" to short it looks like. I should have double checked that.

Is the length OK that reaches under the female die?

I need the correct lenght so I can correct this issue.

It's OK, I'll get it narrowed down.

Figures this is the ONLY thing I had someone else make ...:roll:
