RCBS Uniflow question

[brow_tines]

What's the difference in a Uniflow and a Uniflow II ? Any or are they the same?

I could be wrong, but the best I can figure is they are the same, or the Uniflow II is an evolution of the Uniflow.

It looks like RCBS has dropped the "II" moniker though as it is not listed on their web site.

It looks like the Uniflow and it's current variants are a modular system, at least the standard and the competition models. I am not sure about the Quick Change model.

You can buy the pieces that make the competition model the competition model and fit them to the standard Uniflow.

Thank you

Uniflow takes 2 different cylinders, pistol and rifle. The quick change changes the measuring part, the regular you have to buy the other cylinder - which I don't see on the web site. If you do both, get the quick change.

An update, I looked at my 1980 vintage Uniflow. It has the "II" cast into the body as some of the units being sold on fleabay. The fleabay units are described by their sellers as "Uniflow II".

My original box just says Uniflow on it. Actually, a large and small drum combo set. Paid a handsome $34.95 for it back in 1980.

I have an old Uniflow, and the hopper is small. It doesn't fit the current Uniflow baffle. Maybe the II upsized the hopper? Mine is pretty annoying if you're reloading more than 20 .30-06 or so.

I don't know where it fits into the RCBS taxonomy, but it's probably from the 60s or early 70s. It has both cylinders, but I don't know if my dad bought the second one separately or if it came with the kit.
