Fliskits MACME Shrew Build, Part 12, Shorten the Inside Tube

After over sanding the segment angles for the best fit,  I ended up with the internal tube a little long.
The top ring could be moved down about 1/16" and be closer to what was intended in the design.

With the tip of the blade, small punches were made around the glue fillet.
Look close at the inset picture and you can see the knife tip cuts.


This came off easier than I thought it would.
The ring was lowered 1/16" and glued on again.

After it dried the short tube extension was sanded flush with the top of the #5 ring.



Another dry fit -
The front end isn't illustrated in the instructions but this is probably what it should look like.
The Kevlar line will be tied below the #5 ring and come out of the side.
