But I can't figure out what happened. So, please help.
Here are the facts: PSI Majestic Jr.
Got true stone turned, Azurite web.
Sanded and shiny.
Put upper barrel together without a hitch
Put nib section of lower barrel in and it went in a hair like normal. Started pressing and CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The barrel cracked after about a thousandth in. So I pulled it out
I calipered both ends of the tube and they were the same before I started inserting either side
Out of curiosity I pressed the nib section in the other side and it worked perfectly fine. Yeah I can press the parts out
That was my last Majestic Jr. kit. The first I screwed up. I don't see how this one was my fault, unless I had the piece a hair off level when I started pressing.
