OK, I just had to count how many actual, total clicks of elevation my recently acquired Unertl USMC Rear Ring really had - and ran the scope tube "button" end of the adjuster off of the threads........

It looked simple, just shove it back up to the threads and thread it back on, Right? Nope. Now the threaded stem does not turn when you turn the knob. What?? Not being willing to damage such a rare piece, I am going against my male nature and asking for information (Help!) from my fellows here.

What's the secret, fellow Unertl fans? CC
