I was more concerned with ruining something in the tube - but my guess is it won't make that much of a difference. Maybe I can get it brazed to make a nice loop..
Remarkable,
I am trying to get up to 15 posts to PM you. can you PM me your email address? (@usfamily.net from a post in '06 isn't working)
I was wondering if I find the +25% spring not able to cycle 1-1/8 brass if I can use a wire cutter to snip a couple turns off of it on the nut end.
Thanks
