So I have searched all over for the best way to remove those pesky dents that Remington adds to their shell tubes. There seems to be two methods:
1. Drill the tabs out, dremel it, wire brush it, and add your tube extension.
2. Buy a $75.00, "tool" that you insert in the tube to expand the tabs out.
Honestly, neither solution is even close. If I drill them out, I now have two dam holes in my tube where all kinds of crap can accumulate causing a shell jam. If I buy a tool to do it, I have a $75.00 piece of metal that I probably won't use again. If I do that, I'm the tool to be honest..
I saw a suggestion where someone took a 4 to 5" socket, coated it with gun oil, and gently tapped it into the tube to push the dents out. I am going to try this. Does anyone else have a suggestion?
