Am wondering if anyone has run into this problem before.
Was putting together a regular gold Sierra today and the mechanism would not seat fully into the finial/cap. It would fit in but I could not get it the last 1/4 inch or so without undue force. Was almost impossible to get apart. Would have been very difficult to change the refill using the proper technique.
After trying a different cap from another Sierra kit I deduced that the first cap may have had too much plating on the interior. That is the only thing I could figure out.
Luckily I had a spare cap/finial in my parts stash.
