Hello all, I need advice.
I always wrestle with 24MM reloads. It is always a challenge to center the grain & liner to facilitate
Screwing on the forward & rear closures.
I always clean the casing with CPL that I use on my weapons & if the inside of the casing feels dry I will
spread a thin coat of the CPL inside the casing.
Tonight when I inserted the grain and liner, the liner grabbed like a coupler with wood glue (even with the CLP). It was in and almost centered in the casing.
Well to make a long story short, after much wrestling ans some banging I was able to screw both closures onto the casing.
The problem is that the forward closure did not screw all the way, close, but no cigar. And I used a pair of pliers, hence scratched off finish on the forward closure.
Please look at the images, and let me know if this is a GO to launch.
Also, I am thinking of using a Bluing Pen for firearms to cover the scratched of finish. Does anyone have a better idea, or is it necessary to cover over the scratches?
Thanks in advance for any help.
