I'm having a hard time finding a 0.625" triangle cap. Does anyone have a suggestion for a source?

The only place I could find wants almost $20 shipped. I found a listing at Numrich, but the pic looks like a 0.750" to me: http://gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=204910B&catid=12873

Thanks!

Call Sherluk Marketing, I'm pretty sure Art has some.

Apex guns has them listed as M16A1. Also Bushmaster had them year and a half ago before the management changes and move. I bought 3. The .625 are listed as standard and the .750 are listed as Heavy.

ETA: Beat to it by navy. Hot linked to the web page for you.

ETA again: Maybe someone should tell them it will fit A2 HG's also. A2 HG's use the triangle cap too.

Thanks, everyone - I need this quickly (last part before I send the barrel to ADCO for work), so I went ahead and ordered from Apex.
