[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 1795189, member: 112241"] No problem, and thanks to Shinbone for pointing out the issue. (I can’t believe that on the 2 or 3 forums where I’ve seen both these products mentioned, that he’s the first to put them together and find the conflict with the parts.) I heard from Michael and he doesn’t want to countersink the screws as he feels it will weaken the shell holder. He first suggested that I might be able to buy some low profile cap screws that may or may not work, but then suggested what is probably a better solution: That is, when Inline Fab first made their improved access side links they didn’t have a stop built in, so some guys just installed one of them, and kept the stock link with a stop on one side. The same thing should work here. Since I operate the lever with my right hand and move the brass with my left, I’ll replace the right side link with the OEM link with the stop. Josh told me his links had the same range as the Forster links, but it looks like they have _more_ range, which is why they’re hitting the thicker Manzgear plate. It’s not ideal, as you won’t have improved access from both sides, but it should be a good compromise. Shinbone, try this and see if this works for you. I’ll install the thicker shell plate and one of the OEM links and see how that works myself. I’ll let you know if Josh comes up with anything once I hear from him. Your suggestion about limiting the travel of his links makes sense in light of this info. I’ll also see if I can locate some 10-32 low profile cap screws, but with the extra range involved not sure that will work. Bottom line, the Manzgear plate is designed to work fine with the OEM link range, but anything else isn’t guaranteed. [/QUOTE]
