    Turns out

    If you forget to install the power tube tip after swapping out the level 10 carrier, then proceed to stick your finger into the breech to test the bolt strength, you end up with 3 stitches on your finger along with passing out from the pain.

    Level 10 bolts, the sloped front acts as a really nice edge to cut into flesh.

              Never, never, never test a Level 10 with your finger at first. At least use a barrel swab. Golden rule for not losing your finger tips.

                  I remember when I did my first L10 bolt. I had heard & seen the vids of fingers and tongues but I didn't trust it. I stuck a pen cap and watched it bounce, THEN I stuck body parts in after knowing it worked.

                  Today you learned a lesson, it could have been much, much worse.

                              This reminds me of the time I tried to build an air-powered tennis ball launcher. I built the dump chamber out of PVC tube and end caps because I was only using 50-80 psi, which honestly might have worked, but I was impatient and only let the glue dry for a few hours instead of overnight. When the glue failed, the end cap blew off so close to my face that I felt the air whoosh. Then it hit the storage shelf behind me and punched through both sides of a cardboard box. Came really close to losing an eye that day.

                              We all make mistakes. Glad it was only your finger. Hopefully the nerves will heal in time.
