Yeah...do it. Will this name change keep my ex-wife from finding me?
Ok gents. I decided to install my XS Big Dot today. I removed the old bead and cleaned everything up. Then I discovered that if you have big hands and fingers you can't start the new bead! I've tried wrapping it with electrical tape to give me more to hold to and using small pliers(gently) to no avail.
I'm open to suggestions.
Not being smart, but you do have the correct threaded bead?
I'm not certain what mossbergs are, but I think they are 3-56 tpi, Remington are 6-48 tpi, etc.
I have what XS sent so I hope so but not sure.Not being smart, but you do have the correct threaded bead?

I had the same problem. I finally took a pair of regular pliers, and held the bead so the threads were straight out from the end of the pliers. I finally got the thread started. It was a PITA, but don't give up.
Take it easy Sniffler. Frustration and shotguns are not the best companions!I have what XS sent so I hope so but not sure.
I messed with it until I had blood starting to come out my ears. I'll try again later.
