Going to a local LP/MP launch tomorrow with the kids and I thought I would pull my AT 29/40-120 hardware out and pop up one of my MPR on an E23. This was my first hardware when I got into HPR and very quickly moved on to the individual 29mm AT hardware so my familiarity is sketchy at best. So I read over the instructions this evening to be better prepared and I was surprised to see that the instructions tell you to insert the copperhead igniter, then the nozzle, followed by the o-ring and the aft closure.
No I realize this is MPR but it goes against everything I have learned up until now, which is insert the igniter on the pad. Are these instructions correct, the reload is about 2 years old, if so is there something special about the copperhead igniter that makes it more safe? I checked the nozzle and you actually have to insert the igniter first as the throat is not as wide as the business end of the copper head, so you couldn't assembly it another way.
