Undo nose plug from 35mm Practise round

Falcon

Well-Known Member
I have a 35mm Oerlikon [ractive round with the aluminium nose plug. Can anyone suggest a way to undo this without damaging it? I would like it to be "fully strippable" just in case anyone asks.

Thanks for any info.
 
hi falcon i believe the nose plug is crimped into place and is not removable without severe damage i have one before the crimping process has been completed.
hope this helps
regards
tom
 
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of painting the round up as a HE as it is currently unpainted. However if it cannot be stripped then maybe I won't do this.
