While tape is a worthwhile method to close the improperly opened box as mentioned in earlier posts, I have demonstrated a possible method as detailed above that will allow you to save your blue tape for your rifle's muzzle.


I don't think Jeff has acknowledged that he just opened the box incorrectly.
Thanks to War Eagle's excellent tutorial Jeff has a chance to do it correctly the next time he gets a box.
War Eagle has always been willing to help those in need.


The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.
