Rolex John 2 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK, just got a V-Plug. Found a vid on YouTube for installing the V-Plug, but it doesn't specifically state how to remove the existing plug. ??? Sorry for the dumb question - I'm somewhat mechanically challenged.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Press in the detent and unscrew it. Take your V-plug and screw it in. Follow the instructions to set it properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolex John 2 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK - I got the original plug out and the V-Plug in. But I'm not clear on the positioning. The video said that you tighten it down, then back out the plug until the minus sign is lined up. Lined up with what? The little pin that you had to push down on the other plug? Also, does the pin not pop up anymore with the V-Plug? Mine doesn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, does the pin not pop up anymore with the V-Plug? Mine doesn't. Line it up with the locking pin--yes, the one that is in the gun already. If that pin doesn't pop up give it a good squirt of CLP or FP10 as a lubricant to assure function. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leadsled 40 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) OK - I got the original plug out and the V-Plug in. But I'm not clear on the positioning.

Also, does the pin not pop up anymore with the V-Plug? Mine doesn't. The pin will get pushed down and act as a detent ala an 870 magazine cap. You should feel it clicking at each setting as you get it near the bottom. The pin is what you use to align the setting marks. Once you are tightened down, back it out to the "-" sign. Mine happened to fall on a "-" so I had to back it out to the other "-" to be properly set. Fire first shot and open up one click till proper cycling for each load.

Ok- sort of getting a mixed message from these 2 responses - should the pin pop back up or will it stay recessed once the V-plug is in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bahamasair666 1 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It won't pop back up. The V plug has detents on the bottom so you can adjust it without having to push down the pin like the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Meaning the detent will keep spring pressure and will click when you rotate the plug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolex John 2 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK - that makes perfect sense. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
