Can't say I have seen a carbide tip either. Maybe one picture.

I missed the whole period when AGD was really busy coming out with new stuff beyond the classic valves. Getting back in with an x-valve was alright.

I have a solution from home depot

Crown Bolt makes a nylon spacer 3/16 OD x 115 ID, 1 inch long

you can slightly bevel one end and hammer it into the classic sear.

I then used a drill press to slightly open the bore to permit the RT pro pin to smoothly rotate.
Next I trimmed the spacer to the proper 1/4" width for the body.

2, #10 brass flat washers were then placed on both sides and the pin was threaded in.

It works perfectly!

Oh, I got to get me some of that. Wonder how the nylon will hold up...

I gave it a smidgen of red synthetic grease on the pivot pin
and unless it gets run in a sandstorm, I don't see it wearing much at all

I think it was $1.29 for 2, 1 inch spacers

a clever man could make 8 from that stock.
