Well, neatness counts, especially your work area.
While cleaning my SX4 I accidentally dropped something that struck the top of the magazine tube and dented it just before the increase in diameter at the receiver.
I tried to remove the dent with a homemade swage and was partially successful but there is still enough of a sharp crease that it interferes with the follower. Replacement tubes are cheap enough but I would like advice on removal. On previous models it seems that technique was to heat it with a heat gun and then twist the tube out.
Anyone done this on an SX3 or SX4?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
