    Default Trim ring size?

    Can anyone tell me how much length trim rings add to the saber?

    If they differ, I am specifically interested in types 3 and 4

    Thanks.

    They only add about 1/16".

    I've been informed that they do change the clocking. Any idea by how many degrees?

    It would be nice if it was closer to a multiple of 360. I don't suppose a clocking washer would get it to that.

    I really recommend Madcow's sandpaper method for getting parts to line up the way you want:

    Super easy to do - just be sure to do a little bit at a time!

    Yes, I've done that. I've found it works best for minor adjustments though. Shaving off 190 degrees seems like quite a bit for that method.
