DennisRCBS Green Machine Parts?
I'm looking for caliber conversion parts for a RCBS Green Machine. RCBS doesn't have them any more. In particular 9mm and 45 ACP.

ricciardelliThat's odd...under their lifetime warranty they should have the parts or be able to get them.
I just ordered a few parts for a Big Max which I bought in 1988 and I had them in 3 days.
The Green Machine was a financial disaster for RCBS and they dropped it. Many found the complexity beyond their tinkering skills. No conversion kits are made now. Repair of defective tools is still under warranty, I believe. I have heard that RCBS prefers to replace with tools of later design, and that the trades are hard to resist.
Cheers from Darkest California,

DennisI WAS THINKING THAT I MIGHT GET LUCKY AND FIND SOME CONVERSION PARTS. THE GREEN MACHINE THAT I HAVE IS FACTORY NEW, STILL IN ORIGINAL BOX THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED. I EVEN HAVE A REGISTRATION CARD THAT STATES I'LL GET A FREE HAT! IT'S A PRETTY MACHINE AND DOES NOT SEEM THAT INTENSIVE TO OPERATE TO ME. PROBALLY WILL PUT IT ON DISPLAY IN MY OFFICE, AS I ALREADY HAVE A AMMO MASTER THAT WORKS QUITE WELL.
THANKS FOR THE INPUT
