These are all good ideas. > I gave it a try, but this brass is too hard already. And trying to do that to a 2" piece of it means I'll have to baby a 1/16" drill bit through a piece of steel about 1/8" shorter just to brace the tubing against buckling when I put the pressure on. So with what I was able to do, I may have cut the area of the hole by a few percentage points, but then it buckled despite my efforts to brace it with some pliers. And the diameter booster sleeves on the rear of it, came unglued, so they got cleaned up and re glued.
What is the best procedure to anneal just the last 1/8" of this tubing, it might work if I can get it dead soft again. >>Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: "Ian W.
