MTC rep said it was not glued on so I wonder if AOA glued it on?

Instead I have to disassemble (again) ship the part to wwag then await a replacement.

Is there another source for spare parts?

Never heard of a gun for which spares are unavailable.

Let me find out if we have any of the end plugs in the latest shipment of parts. I know that some of the models did not have the groove and the thread tape solved the issue. Will contact you tomorrow after talking with Ernest or Charlie.

Thanks Steve.

Thank you. That was the exact one I was looking at.
