SIGHT HOOD HELP!!

acarpenter · 04-26-2008, 06:50 PM

Okay, I got my k98 sight hood in the mail.
Now how do I get the silly thing on?
I tried some needle nose pliers by putting them inside of it and pulling them apart, but I didn't have enough leverage. And one time it flew off because of the angle of the pliers. haha.

What do I do???!!!

I use an old snap ring set up that you screw to open/close the jaws, the jaws are parrallel. Needle nose will work but takes 3 hands.
