OK got my cartridge pens to the point of bullet installed, tube soldered in and ready to assemble. I have read people with this problem but do not remember the solution. For those of you that solder your tubes in how do you get the tranny in and end cap on?? More so the tranny. Seems when you solder the tube is so solid there is no play for the tranny. Bought a .249 reamer because I thought that was what someone was using. Tried to ream the tube using a handheld drill and the whole is too large and the parts slip in to easily. I hate to glue these things in.
Problem #2-- these are powdercoted so how do I do this without wrecking the powdercoating. I think Rick now inserts the tranny before he powdercoats. It was too late when I read that. Help please.
Third problem--i accidently dropped a cartridge I have designated for a key ring and it has the bullet in it. Now I did two things when I assembled these and that was use CA glue and did crimp using a ammo reloader crimp with the correct die. And yet when it hit the floor the bullet came out. Now tthat is not suppose to happen. Has anyone had these problems and how do I correct this??? I am afraid all the others are suspect to this failure if dropped. Not a good day for sure.
