Out of curiosity, does the new kit have the extension that goes on the refill? I like those kits because you can grind the extension down to make the click version the same size as a standard sierra.
As I understand it, you only tinted the glue, but did not reverse paint the blank red, or paint the tube. Is that right? If so, you did a great job. I can't see the tube anywhere, and the red shows through nicely.
