[Shotimes] Tokico Warranty

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Carl:
 I did not know you could remove the inserts? I have cut a Tokico completely
apart to see how it is made but I had to slice and dice the housing up to
get it apart. It looks like the housings are welded up after the inert is
put in? Let the list know how to take these apart without damage if you find
out!!
Thanks!
