The same seller had a classified ad and tried to sell them on THR before putting them up for auction on Gunbroker. Evidently, one person on THR bought 2 of them and those fit and work fine. But he was able to insert them for a test fit first after meeting the seller face to face in Ohio.
I talked to the seller on the phone and through emails. He told me that he decided to only sell the remaining cylinders on Gunbroker.
I never asked him about it but how do you know if it's really a Classicballistix cylinder? Is it marked?
Are you keeping it or returning it?
