4-Position Star Selector for Hunting, Shooting, and Reloading
This component is precisely installed within the black automatic indexing clamp on the steel ram, serving as a critical element in the mechanical indexing system. The black square ratchet is securely mounted onto the 1/4" x 1/4" steel indexing rod, ensuring robust engagement and reliable performance during repeated cycling operations.
To preserve the structural integrity and optimal function of the square ratchet mechanism, it is essential to lift the ram that disengages the ratchet from its housing. This action allows the indexing rod to rotate freely without resistance, facilitating smooth and precise turret indexing. At this stage, the turret assembly can be safely removed or installed as needed, enabling efficient maintenance or caliber changes.
For enhanced durability and prolonged service life of your square ratchet, it is highly recommended to apply a light coating of household-grade oil between the 4-hole turret and the corresponding 4-hole turret ring. This lubrication minimizes friction and wear, ensuring consistent indexing accuracy and reliable operation in high-cycle metallic and semi-metallic reloading presses.
