Press issues

Postby Bearcatrp on Sat Oct 11, 2025 8:38 am

Can the bar that slides up and down that holds the brass go bad? Have a RCBS single stage about 12 years old. Sticking pretty bad even after lubing. Will be taking it apart soon for a closer inspection. If that rod is bad, does RCBS sell replacement parts? Don't want to buy another full press if I don't have to. Thanks

I checked there page a bit ago. Only thing they do not sell is the bar and the press itself. Once I get it apart, will use a micrometer to check. May send them a email asking about that bar to see what they have to say. Thanks for the reply.

Took it apart and cleaned it real good. Works almost as new.
