Wait, what? I don't understand.

If you want to make the barrel pass through the camlock (breech loader style) just get a 2"-1.5" reducer, file/dremmel the ridge out, attach the reducer to the camlock, and insert the barrel. You shouldn't need to modify the camlock at all, to the extent of my knowledge...

Please explain what you want to do in better terms so we can understand and help.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

the 2" camlock i have does not allow 1.5" pvc to pass through it i did a breech loaded system with the filed out reducer about 6" back on my barrel and my cam lock had female threads on the female side and male on the male side. but like i said the 1.5 will not pass through.. amd i just supposed to make a slug cutter and not have a breech loaded cutting barrel?
