will crack off the end of the PVC, where you have cut the groove for the internal snap ring. Neither the PVC pipe nor the epoxy, nor the pins (sideways thru rear of PVC, and into sides of bolt head) have any "give' in them, the way a welded in, threaded adapter has in a steel .22 can-tube. If you dont get everything made straight with the bore, there's no tapping it with a mallet,in order to get it straight. You have to start all over.
