OK, RCBS was great in sending me a replacement part when I broke the screw that holds the handle to the nozzle shut off pin.
It, the screw was frozen so I figured I'd add a cheater bar so I'd be sure to torque off the screw head--and was successful!! Yea, team!
I check the manual and the screw is listed as a 5/40 by 3/8 . . . OK, 3/8 is length but what is a 5/40 screw??
luckily the folks here set me straight that it is a 5-40 screw (and since I know what 4-40 and 6-32 screws are I now know what this screw is)
Now my new question is: they couldn't use a 4-40 or 6-32--easy to find them. 5-40, not so much.
I am using a 4-40 nut and bolt to hold handle and shut off pin together and it works great; just waiting on the replacement from RCBS which is in the mail
