... I cant get the wedge to budge. Whats the secret?
It's way easier the second time. And after about 4 or 5 times it gets pretty much like you expect it should be.
There's really nothing wrong. It's just that they come from the factory with the pin driven in
REAL tight and there's no wear yet.
Make sure the screw is loose, then use a small block of wood and a mallet of some kind to drive it out. Don't use a steel hammer or you'll mar the surface.
But it will come out. It's just a tough battle that first time. My first one I thought was defective. But after some persistent tapping it finally popped out.
Clean the packaging oil and load it up and shoot a few cylinders with it to put a little wear on it. That helps a lot.
Like I said, after about 4 or 5 times it's beginning to get pretty well worn into a good fit.
If you think about it, you really do want them to send it out nice and tight so it wears in smooth rather than send it out loose so it just gets sloppy. OK, you could want them to send it out like a $1,500 gun, but then it would cost $1,500 and you'd have one instead of six.
