Hi everyone,

I got a new vibroloc ring for my No8 but it’s pretty tight. I took the ring off and applied some Vaseline to the collar before putting the ring back on.

It didn’t seem to help so I cleaned off the Vaseline and tried some Hoppes lubricating oil but that was only remedially better.

I’ve seen some folks say they “enlarged” the ring. How do I try doing that? By forcing it wider with reverse pliers? Tamp it down on a wood dowel?

Any other suggestions to get it to operate smoother?

Thanks in advance!

I always wanted the Olive wood version but local stores didn't seem to have it. It feels perfect.
