    the short and sweet answer

    got'em, luv'em

    just for some barrels minor alterations may be needed.....
    such as...
    on my jnj i had to trim with nail clippers a small amount off so it would fit the groove in the barrel.... and on my taso i had to clip just about 1/4" off the end to make it fit.... other then that they are great

        Anyways, they are the small bent up wires that you'll find in the barrels of the Automag line of guns. They keep the paint from rolling out of the barrel. A picture of the plastic nubins is on the tech resources section of this page.

            I still have the ones AGD sent me for free, they work good and never break. I must note that they are idiot proof.

                    The metal nubbins are notirios for being bent forward, or breaking when the bolt catches them, and in some cases, taking a bite out of the inside of your barrel. The plastic nubbins, which dont break, and are MUCH more forgiving should the happen to get caught by the bolt and bent forward, and therefore, wont dammage your barrel should worse come to worst. Ive included a pic of 2 plastic nubbins that I took for another post. One of which being installed in the barrel, and the other seperate for a better view of it.
