Can you overfill a corny?

Can't quite make out the flare end of those shutoff. Their valve with the integrated check shown here has two pieces to the valve housing. If yours doesn't have that threaded piece to the right, I'm going to guess it doesn't have the check...

Cheers!

angle grinder. disks are non-ferrous.

Hope I'm not continuing to repeat the obvious, but if you previously ground carbon steel, it can be embedded in the wheel and be transfered to the tube. Cross contamination can cause rust on stainless.

tube cutter works fine I have pin locks so I cut mine short so I can purge with a poppet depressor

The correct solution to too much beer for a keg would seem to be to fill a couple of bottles with the extra. It's always good to have a couple of bottles around for trips/competitions/tasting once the keg is done/sending to HBT members who give you helpful advice.

Since this thread took off so much, I'll share a funny little anecdote here, at my own expense. When I first started kegging, I was doing some research. I came across a guy who posted that he "cut his dip tubes short because he needs that extra volume". With no experience kegging, I thought this guy must be Captain Anal, as the dip tubes take up enough volume for about 5 drops of beer.

This thread made me recall that post and now I realize exactly why one would cut dip tubes for "that extra volume! "

Just checked again, the body is 2 piece and appears to have a check.

I'm going to be pissed when I have my. last pull off the keg and it's super tasty in 2 months... but I know there could have been 3 more glasses!! OH THE HORROR
