Topic: Auger won't fit in the Pipe Nipple.

Hello everyone!
I just received my FilaStruder DIY kit and I was just about to start its assembly.
I got stuck following the first step. The Auger won't fit in the Pipe Nipple.... not even close to a smooth sliding.

I made a video, please help me out. I don't want to rush things and spoil anything.
Here's the video url: youtu.be/7BsWdrf0NDE (yep ... the forum won't allow my to write links)

My SN is: 742

I've checked some old topics but I still don't know what to do. Shindigs, another user also said something about contaminants. The Nipple seems a little bit rusty or something inside. By the way.. I removed the burrs from the feed slot.

Thank you.

Best Regards and Have you all a Happy New Year!

Post was right on the first page of this sub forum. There was a small batch of bad barrels - email me at filastruder@gmail for a replacement.
