Tore up my uniflow today

[greyling22]

I dug my 2nd uniflow out of storage today, and of course it was rusty. So I got out the evaporust and decided to take it apart. The bushing was stuck, and when I used a wrench to take it apart, the threads tore off the bushing. The drum looks to be intact.

It's an older uniflow. If I call rcbs, do you think they would have that bushing?

They may just send you a new one. RCBS has been very good to me. Include pictures in your email.

RCBS customer service is second to none - call them.

That's "thread galling" from having both parts of the same material too clean. RCBS will most likely replace both parts. Next time add a dab of Sizing Lube to the threads before assembly.

I'm going to bet they will. I just got a part I needed for mine and they sent it to me no charge. I also bought the small drum I needed at the same time. Very responsive in all communication...

As stated, RCBS has great customer service. Email pictures to them and explain what happened. They replaced a missing die part that I had lost. Great company. One I'll continue supporting.

They do have great customer service. Way back before the internet I bought an auto 4x4 brand new, when I opened the box it was missing several parts, snail mailed them a list and recieved them in 2 weeks.

Most recently, a couple stuck cases, broken die parts and the large Allen screw that holds my shell plate. All replaced in a timely manner.

I called yesterday and spoke to a guy, he asked for a picture. I promptly sent it and heard nothing back. I called back today, spoke to an older guy, and he tapped a few keys and said he was sending my part out. and was throwing in the missing mounting bracket/plate the first guy said was unobtainable. so yay.

Also, apparently RCBS is making the weaver scope rings these days. And any broken weaver scope will be replaced with a bushnell.
