Removing the Shot Valve inserts

These instructions apply to both Models "C/CS" and "D/DS".

Note:
The metal inserts are recommended for lead shot;
the plastic inserts are recommended for steel shot

1. One good way to do this is to use a vice.
   Note: You may have to close the shot-cavity partially to get at the punch-out hole.
   (a) you want to properly support the bar
   (b) you want a wide enough space to allow the insert to be pushed out of the shot valve but, without driving the shot-valve downwards, too.
   Caution: Driving the shot-valve downwards will break the lock-ring that holds the shot-valve to the bar body.
   
2. To remove a metal insert:
   insert a punch tool in the punch-out hole and punch out insert with hammer
   (a nail will also work but is not recommended)
   


3. To remove a plastic insert:
   apply finger pressure
