I will be brief. I broke the t7 primer accessory. It is a add on to the t7 that I got with the t7 when I bought it years ago. I had the handle loosen up over the years and it finally broke so I thought. Called Redding and a tech support guy told me the handle screwed on to the bar setup with a set screw with an allen wrench. So you screw on the stud then screw on the ball handle thing. Over the years I had gotten it tight as the allen screw was worked into the ball handle to the point it was held on by one thread. We tried unscrewing with pliers etc to no avail. So I thought about an easyout and bought one with a small bit but it was so small it wouldn't key up tight in the chuck of a battery drill. A friend was there working with us and he suggested a hacksaw groove that we would then use a screwdriver. Well it worked in about 15 seconds!!!. All fixed. Oh yeah the Redding guy couldn't have been any nicer and offered to send the parts if I couldn't fix it myself. A simple problem that we overcame with three minds working together. Working better with the tighter handle than it ever has.  Craig
