Talk about a screw up

While fit testing my Jakel body, the air block for my pump got stuck. Reminder don't try this at 0300 in the morning lol. So after using vise grip,channel locks,wrenches it just won't come out. Now I should have realized this was basically a raw stagged body and thought to myself "Hey maybe I should run a tap thru everything first". Bad Machinest, Stupid Machinest!!!! So now I'm at the last option. I'll need the hack off the block stem and thin out the threaded piece. Then I will collapse it inward and remove it. I have done this many times. I was still at a dilema,no air block part. Called CCM and they hooked me up!!!!. So new part is on the way, and machining will probably start on thursday and Friday. Then I need to find the correct tap to finish the threads. Sunfisher if you read this, this is no way your fault,it's all mine. The gun is excellent. Just my dumbass didn't double check the threads. I already started buffing the outer body preping it for ano, so I'm commited to it now. I started hitting the high parts with a file and it's working well with a combination of buffer. I'll crocus cloth it also to really smooth it out. Claudio PM me your phone number if you are reading this.
Later,
