Shiloh Sharps Cartridge Kit

Post by gmkmd »

Hi. I bought the paper cartridge kit from Shiloh, and am a bit confused. The instructions were very blurry and hard to read, but I think I got it all down except Step 6.
Also, the kit came with two metal dowels, but only one is mentioned in the kit. One is steel, with a groove in it and a divot in the end (as mentioned in the instructions).
The other dowel is aluminum, slightly wider diameter over most of the length, with an even larger diameter at one end for about 1/3 of the length. What is this for?
