What is wrong with my RCBS JR2? - The Firearms Forum

76Highboy · 05-05-2012, 06:06 PM

Something is just not right.

He, he, he. Sorry JLA, I did not have any canary yellow on hand.

todd51 · 05-05-2012, 06:31 PM

Where are my sunglasses I need them to look at that rascal? Nice.

JLA · 05-05-2012, 08:14 PM

Shoot, That turned out nice. Pastel purple dont look too shabby on a press.

76Highboy · 05-05-2012, 08:19 PM

The funny thing JLA is I only painted it that color for a joke so I could put it on TFF. I got it all bolted up and my wife saw it and she said in a serious way, "Are you sure you want to repaint it", so I just had to laugh.

I am going to paint it BSU blue and orange this week and then I'll post the pics.

I must admit, it makes my reloading bench stand out, just in a different sort of way.

JLA · 05-05-2012, 08:20 PM

Hell id leave it..

76Highboy · 05-05-2012, 08:25 PM

I would but the pic makes it look better than what it is. The press is actually the color of this text.

JLA · 05-05-2012, 08:41 PM

i know.. its completely unique

gdmoody · 05-05-2012, 08:46 PM

Can't many folks say they have a Barney looking RCBS press! I would leave it.

BTW, is that grey tray thing plastic or metal? I have one here that looks like that but it is plastic (don't remember the color, though) that I don't have any use for. Anyone need one?

My tray is aluminum. This press was a disaster. The tray was horrid but with some elbow grease primer and paint it came out good. Once I fullt reassembled it and tried it, it runs like it is new.

If no one wants that tray, I would take it. Let me know.

I was in a Barney happy mood. It will be blue and orange for Boise State University this week starting today.

If you're going to the trouble to paint it orange and blue - might as well paint the correct shades of each instead of that funky Boise Blue!

War Eagle!

Ouch. Who woke up on the wrong side of the bed Mr. Grumpy. So, I guess that means your a BSU fan hu?

Not hardly! We SEC teams believe in winning whenever we play teams from the NW! Now, if we can just convince Georgia how to follow suit....

gun-nut · 05-06-2012, 03:33 PM

And i will not say that it looks bad in OEM Mopar purple just put a flame job on it! Or paint that tray Flat black!

ryan42 · 05-06-2012, 03:39 PM

I just want to know if the rubberband is oem?

BlackEagle · 05-06-2012, 03:42 PM

What's wrong with my RCBS JR2??
From the pictures I'd say it's feeling a little blue. From your description, it sounds like it's in the pink of health.

geds · 05-06-2012, 03:53 PM

Now, here is the correct shades of orange and blue to use if you want it to REALLY look good!
