What I really would like to find is something that could be used right at the factory to install the seals, would save on all the replacements I have to do. If a guy got really picky every factory seal I have seen should be replaced in the chinese rifles and even in some of the "better grade" european ones also...I'll be meeting the factory guys at the Shot show and if I have something maybe just maybe......it's one of those things that would just up the quality and make things better.

Would mylar sheets like the kind used with overhead projectors work. I don't know how thin they make them.

These forums are great.  I'm very glad I found this place BEFORE I start my tuning adventures.

Appreciate all the good info!!! :D

anything really thin will work, I contacted two manufactures of plastic pop bottles but they wouldn't make under 1000 of the type I want and it was way to spendy. back to the drawing board...

Mike take a look at  Fluorescent Light Bulb Safety Shields in the Mc Master-Carr web site they cost about $3 each for a 48 inch length. They come in 1 1/2 " , 1" , and 5/8" dia. they are used to slide over fluorescent tubes to prevent glass from going everywhere in case of breakage. it is a thin plastic tube but I think it would be perfect for your application

I will take a look at them, if they work don't ever get close to me I may give a hug and a kiss, this might be something all the factory's could use. The big problem is can we get them to use somthing like this ...would it be possible to do an end user request.....we are talking  big buseiness here where pennies here can cost more there.......I may be able to talk to the folks at at least one factory in China at the shot show.....
