Mine threaded easily for about 2/3. Then I had to use a good deal of force.

Yup, towards the end you are compressing the wave washer and a little of the rubber button cover, so force towards the end is naturally higher. Plus I am sure there are minute differences from host to host, so I would expect a few rings to take a little bit more force to screw down.Mine threaded easily for about 2/3.

Would also like to be placed on the list for a retaining ring.
Please check your email. I got $35 via Paypal which would cover the Delrin button, but not the Delrin ring which is $44 with First class shipping. Can you please let me know which one you wanted?Payment sent today with forum name/shipping info.

It was for the Delrin ring, I sent a second payment tonight. Sorry for the confusion, I'd be happy to wait till you ship the next batch since it was my mistake.

Brian,Hi Will,
I got my ring kit tonight and things didn't go well. I was mindful of the previous posts and thought I found that bump you mentioned before threading it... then I gently started screwing it in, but it was tight... so I backed out and tried again... no more bump... couldn't find it again... didn't seem like it was lining up for the next half dozen attempts. Eventually, I thought I had it going in right... but soon realized that I'd crossthreaded this little guy into a place where it won't thread correctly. I can't get it to go very far at all before it starts to lop-side badly. What should I do? I think this is ruined.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Will,
Thanks for the super fast reply! I do have your card and will mail off my tube asap. Thank you so much for working with me on this!

No worries manWill do. Be forewarned that, after initial post, I figured I'd try one last ditch effort to force the thing on... it kinda looks like The Hulk took a swing at it. :/
Excellent - that did not take too longReceived my Delrin rings yesterday, I´ll try to get them mounted this week-end and post a little feed-back.
Smoothness is the goal - thanks for the feedbackInstalled mine yesterday, easy to do with a pair of round-nose pliers with a close o.d. to the dimples. Mine did take some torquing to get it down far enough to fit a paracord lanyard.
I may remove it and sand it down a little for more lanyard hole real estate, but fitment is great--I was able to get the clip on. Tight fit and took a little reaming with the screws, but it works great. Switch is very smooth now.

Your host arrived last Friday, and I fitted a new Delrin ring Friday night. Your package left Saturday via Priority Mail, so you should be receiving it shortlyWill do.
