anyone know how to get this thing apart?
It operates and looks pretty much like the hornady drop and the RCBS uniflow drop, but i can't figure out how to get the stem out to remove the drop. for some reason its really tight to turn and i would like to clean it up and use some dry lube.
Just looking for pointers, if someone else has one of these.

Remove the screw from the end of the thimble and remove the thimble. You can inspect the threads and oil if necessary. ALL the 3 parts are aluminum and can get galled. Next loosen the thumb screw on the off-handle side and unscrew the sleeve. AT this point the piston is free and will drop out the top of the hopper.
Make sure that any oil applied is thoroughly cleaned then lubricate with graphite upon reassembly.
Thanks. Didn't know if the sleeve was threaded in or what. With this I should be able to get it out. Thanks again. Probably going to 3d print a nozzle, and maybe a hopper for it.
