16g lock ring
Anyone have any tips for getting the outer snap ring back into place on a 16g?
I just rebuilt mine and cant get it back on. I used snap ring pliers but they dont stretch far enough to pull it back in. So I took them off the handle and made my own handle..now they just keep slipping off when I get within reach. Anyone have a great way of putting this thing back on?

My attempts were futile as well. I used some long, needle-nosed 90° pliers with the tips ground down to fit the snap ring holes. Squeezed like hell, and just kept springing back or not quite lining up. When I finally got it in the groove, the tip of the pliers busted off.
So, maybe use a bigger tool. Something that fits better in the holes. Lots of patience.
