Nemesis dropped, help !!!!!!!!!

[it0mm0]

I work on an elevated platform and managed to drop the nemesis off the side

It landed on the firing switch but on an angle and has manged to push just one side of Locking ring up a thread  icon_shoppingm

Suffice to say its jammed on like a good un

any tips or tricks ??

Currently got it in the freezer hoping that may in some way help

if all else fails ronaldo is a miracle fixer. If you find out you cant jimmy apart without damaging it'll probably be better to speak to Ron and send it to his 'Mod Hospital'

You'll need to find a way of knocking it straight, don't try and unscrew it or you'll kill the threads. Stick the other end of the tube on a hard surface with a bit of cloth under it to protect it then use maybe a screw driver and hammer and gently tap it to get it back on the right thread.

Slightly off topic - Clumsy me has dropped a couple of mods - a stainless steel stingray clone and a copper nemesis clone.
Both buttons askew.
Nemesis is functional (I managed to bend it back into shape a little with layers of marigold gloves between centre post and pliers - not sure how to disemble the bottom of the switch (I don't think it's a single unit - must be a push fit or something). However, I returned the stingray button to normal functioning status by dint of a thin flat bladed screw driver as a lever in the vent slots (making it an easy fix).
The dropping of the Nemesis proved to be a boon - the impact created a malformed lip on the locking ring which was prone to seizing in the unlocked position (threads appeared so smooth it easily spun to a hard stop). I now have a grip point - no more reach for a strip off a Marigold kept in the wallet when out.

I hope you manage / managed to free it without damage.

And two days later, it0mm0, I find myself in the same position. DId you salvage the Nemesis?

enjay, My thanks to you - the jumping the thread solution has just rescued my beloved PBrass Stingray clone.

unfortunatley not im afraid

no matter what i tried i couldnt get it to jump back 1 thread

i ended up ruining the locking ring with a large screwdriver

i ended up buying a Stingray clone out of the classies

Sorry to read that, it0mm0
(pity poor locking ring)...

Keep hold of the Nemesis - folks are forever breaking bits and you may be able to help someone out in the future...
...Including yourself - as you acquire more and more mods (for it shall be) there's a fair chance another Nemesis will fall into your clutches.

The Silver Lining is, however, that you've got the fantastic Nemesis mod in your clutches (or soon will have).
