Dented pipe

[Richard Strickland]

Depends where they are.  If not too far in from the charge end, a mandrel
8-18" OAL from 3/8" steel round with about a 15 degree kink in it 2" from
the(to be) rounded end or so clamped in a vise works reasonably well for
wheedling them out--kind of like the paintless dent removal guys use.  There
are also sheet metal suckers--but I'm not that familiar with them.  Or turn
the dent toward the fuse--dents do not affect performance detectably.
