Here's the fun part which is relatively easy...

1) slide the ramp switch all the way to the front of tip and the pull the tip cover off.

2) once the cover is off you will see 4 rubber o-rings..2 front and 2 back..i took a small flat head screw driver and gently pried off.

Then once removed both halves will come apart

now for the barrel side...what i did was wrapped 2 locations on the with electrical tape.

What this does is to give the barrel a nice snug fit once you extend the tip.

When you have the desired amount of tape wrapped around the barrel..(basically trial and error..i wrap once around at both locations and then test fit it on to the apex tip..you'll probably have to do this at least 3 or so times)..you will want to mate the first groove on the barrel with the last rib on the apex tip
