Thanks Forty, I appreciate it. I don't know, maybe I need to lubricate with some Jamesons before I try again. I am going to have to pull everything out and try again.

Maybe you can wedge the mag tube slightly in the middle to gain a bit more gap. Guess there is some manufacturing variance in the mag tube gap. Mine just slips right thru.

I was to the point I was worried I was going to bend the tube.
