Are you talking about a rubber/silicone charging handle cover? I assume you mean a protective barrier so the firearm beside it doesn’t make metal to metal contact.

There’s a memeber on the forum that I believe is still selling what I’m talking about. His handle is “cantgroup”, he charges $1.00 a piece. He has an ad in the for sale section “model 8 barrel tool for sale”.

no, it's the grommet that holds the release pin and spring inside the operating handle knob.
thanks for the taking the time to reply!

The grommet you refer to is a threaded metal disk with a hole in the center for the release pin.

Thank you again!
That is the bushing I’m looking for. Metal NOT rubber. I said rubber by error. The previous owner jammed a rubber grommet into the handle to hold the pin in place.

Check out popperts gun parts "online". They have what you need listed, I can't verify if it's presently in stock.

Pitbul, if you can't find a replacement, send me a PM. I can probably make you one.
