Closure. Using shaving gel I forced the hypalon over the butt after trying to ream it and sanding the glass. It's very tight and not too much larger than the original hypalon. After clamping the fore end in a vice I have to use two hands and all my strength to turn it so I think it'll hold tight. It's a Sabre rod I bought in the '70s. Thanks for your help but I couldn't ream it.

I never thought about sanding the butt but there's about 1/4" of glass that I can remove. Will the epoxy grease the butt enough to slide it on or do I need space for the glue? Thanks for the help.

Thanks Bill but the butt is larger than the hole in the hypalon. I can get it started but it's really tight.

I have an old rod that the butt hypalon rotted off and I got a piece from Mudhole. Can I push/pull the new one on without stripping the rod. What do I use to slide it up? Thanks.
