Anyone else have bad luck buying RCBS?

I went to buy the case feeder for the LNL AP yesterday, and on the one they had in the store the cutout in the bowl was misaligned with the funnel so badly that the to edge of the funnel assembly was visible looking down through the cutout by about 1/2" on the side the cases come. That's a recipe for hang-ups and it can't be adjusted to re-align it without drilling new holes. I told them to have the distributor check for this before shipping them another one for me.

For the last set of Lee Collet dies I bought, I ended up going through a shelf full of them and choosing the set that had the least severe burrs on the collet fingers and then still having to stone them when I got home.

In this day and age, I wouldn't trust any of them blindly as far as quality is concerned. I don't care how good they were 30 years ago.
 
My Rockchucker has pounded out 40,000 rounds since I purchased it in 2006, I just keep it clean and lubed, no problems, also use may of the dies, at least 15 different sets, never had a problem that was not my own fault...

Good service as well.

I've read on US forum's a lot of their stuff is made in China now.
The latest was the new small single stage.

That does not surprise me. We might as well get used to it. Almost everything we buy is made in China.

The quality of the things we buy is not like the old days. :rolleyes:
 
I've bought 2 used presses of theirs over the last few months that were short parts. Phone down to see about replacements, no charge "In the mail tomorrow sir".
