[QUOTE="gl89aw, post: 1025061, member: 7257"] all of the adjustments are pretty straight forward, to adj. the rails, first loosen the outer rail, and its best if you take out the inner rail, you then put a case with the primer removed in the center station, go under the press and raise the primer seater till it goes into the primer pocket, gently push the front rail till it contacts the case then line up the rail length wise using the front edge of the base as a reference, then tighten it, then re-install the back rail, Then check and make sure a primer will seat easily, if not do it again. there is no adjustment lengthwise. I am a amateur machinest so I just make my own parts, actually in 30+ years I have never needed any for my orig. press but I have made some for the other presses I bought on Ebay and Gunbroker. They really are pretty tough presses. I have heard that C-H can still supply most parts for these presses, just never had the need to get any. I would almost guarantee that they would supply the primer safety shield for free if you asked. if you do experience a primer jam be sure to carefully remove the primer tube and re-install the safety shield before attempting to clear it. That way you only have 4 or 5 primers that can go off instead of up to 50 or close to a hundred. I do speak from experience cause I had a full tube blow up just after I got my first one, C-H sent me a free shield after I reported it to them. [/QUOTE]
