QUESTION 
i could not get the slide bit back in the shaft
without hammering in
so cleaned all the slines both external and internal
still no good

but when i was cleaning the splines with a hacksaw blade noticed
brown stuff comming off thought it was old grease hardened????
so took the torch to it to melt it away but seems to be like
plastic covered ???
would this be the case
regards

They are usually teflon coated if it starts to peel it can jam the slide then your in the 5h1t!

cheers jock
did not know they were coated
so burnt it off now the splines are too small
to much movement now turkey?
but could not get it back together without
useing force
