Rockchuker press

[TrxR]

How many different versions over the years are there of the rockchuker press, and what are the differences?

Thanks

Does the RC1 have the removable bushing on the top or is it only the RC2 and the new one? The reason I ask is that you can get a kit from hornaday to make the die quicker to change.

Thanks

if you want to get a qwick change die press, you need the forster CO-AX
dies are clip on
then, you just replace the lock nut on all your dies for the forster round locknuts to make them fit

Not a expert, but could be only 2 different models
the first one CH spent primers fall down the front of the ram(light and dark paint)
RC II spent primers fall down the back of the ram
the age of the press can also be estimated by the colour of the paint darker paint newer / light paint really old ???? 30 plus years, but as I said not a expert

I have two. The newer one has a ball on the handle and the one from the 1980's has a plastic covering over the handle.
When the never one would not fit into my range box, it became my primary press and the older one went into the box it was designed for.
The spent primers would end up falling in behind the priming arm and they had to be cleaned out before it could be used on the first press but that problem is not the case with the newer model.
