It was my first mod and it wasn't the clone. I dropped this thing once on a table from about 2 feet up with the top cap attached about 4 months ago and now the darn thing only lets me screw the top cap on for one 1/2 rotations before sticking. I bought a new top cap since the top cap looked dented as well but the new top cap had the same problem so it appears to be the flimsy telescoping tube. I'd really like to put the magneto back in rotation so if anyone can point me to where to get a replacement telescopic tube for the original without having to buy the whole mod over again I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks ahead of time!
