Hmmm...taking a look at that collar, it is embedded into the pleats. Unless that collar comes off easily, trying to do that in place on this particular gun would be pretty difficult. Would be easy to do on a gun that isn't pleated at the top.

So, does the collar come off? If so I will do that. And I will be polishing the tube at some point.
