Amsdorf Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 OK, wish me luck people, today is the day I'm going to try to remove the old mag tube and replace it with the CC tube. I've got my heat gun, my vice padded, my high temp gloves, my LocTite, my cleaner, my brush..... I'll let you know how it goes and will be video taping the process and if it turns out, I'll post a video. If not, no video! Quote
Zeke Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Let me know how it goes, I too just order the CC tube along with the large knob. Cant wait to get them. I only ordered them 4 days ago, still have a long wait. But Im excited to see your pictures, so dont forget! Good luck with the install!! Quote
Amsdorf Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 My tube came just under a day short of five weeks, as they promised, "3 to 5 weeks" delivery. Quote
Amsdorf Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Sorry guys, but a fine cigar and bottle of Chimay Trappist Belgian Ale called my name this afternoon. Will get it tomorrow. Quote
Zeke Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Mission accomplished, About how long did it take before you started to see smoke?? Quote
Amsdorf Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 Well, I think I went at it way too conservatively at first, so not sure my time would necessarily be yours. I did not have the gun hot enough, but when I did move up the temp, I'd say maybe four minutes? Better to take is slow than over do it. Quote
