    Default Bushings

    Hi Folks.
    Me again.
    I am having all sorts of problems with my bushings for bolt action pens.
    It seems that many do not fit. That is, do not go on the mandrel (even new one), Do not fit in to the tubes. ( I tried new tubes)
    Is anyone else finding the same problems???

    Amos.
    The bushings will either not fit the mandrel or the tubes. It can be either or both. Gets rather annoying when you purchase something and they are not fit for what they are meant.

    Cookie - if you are using a standard mandrel with a 6.3mm (1/4") shaft then our bushes will fit - the next problem are you using bushes from one company and bolts from another as these may be different and this could also be your problem..

    If you are using PSI bolts the bushes we sell will fit clcik --> HERE

    If purchased separately that could be the problem,
    i bought spare tu for bolt action and that was what was labelled on the packet, but the tubes I got were to suit the twist mech, standard bullet pen, so that could be a problem on that side of things

    Cheers Ben

    Once u have turned between centres u will wonder why u ever used bushings. There are tutorials in the library both on here and on the IAP site covering TBC. It would be easier to look them up than trying to explain. Good luck.
