I make an upgrade for the RCBS Summit Reloading Press. My upgrade is a single pin that replaces the two bolts and nuts that connect the toggle links to the operating handle.

One Piece SS Upper Pivot Pin for RCBS Summit Press

This one piece upper pivot pin replaces the two 3/8" machine screws on the RCBS Summit press. The pin is machined from type 304 stainless steel and includes two C-clips to retain it.

It appears that RCBS may have initially designed the Summit press with a one piece pin at the top and then changed the design to accommodate very long dies like the 50 BMG (note the machined cut in the handle mount). If you are not loading 50 BMG my one piece SS pivot pin is a great improvement to the RCBS Summit press.

Advantages:

• Improves connection between press links and operating handle by eliminating play
• Consistent repeatability when seating bullets
• Increases rigidity when sizing cases

The SS pin and keepers is $20.00 plus $4.00 shipping. Send me a PM if you want a set.

The pin will clear a 4+" tall die.

This is a Redding Competition Seater that is backed out 3/4" to where the top of the die just contacts the pin.

Should the wave washers be left on the pin between the arms and the casting or does it matter?

They can be left out. They serve no purpose with a continuous pin.

Is this still available? I would like to purchase before I actually buy the press.

 

[BRatigan]

Just arrived. A precision piece of work. Can't wait to install.

I have one of these on my Summit 2000 and it's a great idea, IMO! I've been using it for a few years with no problems!

Thanks James!

UNFORTUNATELY THIS PIN WILL NOT CLEAR THE TOP OF AN RCBS MATCHMASTER SEATING DIE BY ABOUT 1/4" OR SO...NICELY MADE AND FAST SHIPPING...I JUST WISH I HAD INSTALLED THE DIE AND MEASURED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT...NOW I'M GONNA LOSE $11.00 JUST FOR MY STUPIDITY.

I’ve wasted more than 11.00 on reloading items. seems to be a great fix to a pesky issue on the Summits tho!
