I recently repaired my Sten using the cable replacement kit available through OnRope1. For anyone that has done this, do you find the switch very stiff to use? Originally, when I fixed it at Convention, I could not even get the "switch detent O-ring" to fit. So I just used it without. Worried that I might not be waterproof without it, today I forced it to fit. The whole lamp is back together, but now the switch takes a lot of force to use. Is it supposed to be this way? I would like to get it figured out, because I am about to go underground for 4 days. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
