If you use the 'appropriate amount of technical force' and the return spring unscrews from the TMH (the trigger mech. housing to you heathens and pagan savages still out there in the colonies and antipodes), then for some reason, the bloody tube is then jammed up in the butt. It'll rotate OK but isn't there a collar that wont allow it to be pulled back and out.

I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head somewhere.........
Pete, I dont remember that difficulty! I also have had the tubes unscrew & come out of the TMH. I dont remember NOT being able to extract the tube from any butts though? You will have to check a spare Rtn Spring Tube with a wood butt from your spares Mate!....Im sure you may have a few?....
