Are the center pins that fit in the 510 connector different lengths for the mini, and mini 2.0/2.1 and the Grand? The reason I ask is that the ones I have, have about 1/8" approx. movement up and down when the feeder tube nipple is tightened down. I ordered kits for the mini, and mini 2.0/2.1, and I'm wondering if I got kits for a grand by mistake.

tightening the RM2 down does snug the center pin down to where there is no up and down slop. Maybe that will keep it from leaking.

I installed it watching the video. Apparently there is something I'm still missing. After seating the center pin, I installed the firing pin but did not get that "click" when pushing it on, but got it on as far as it would go. Then I screwed the feed tube nipple on tight. There is approx. 1/8" movement up and down of the center pin. On one kit I screwed it on too tight trying to get the movement out of it, and broke it.
