Gas cap and base
was just wondering about these. Vortex has them for $100, but some other brands off ebay you can get it for $42 shipped.
whats the deal anyone has these cheap ones? good quality?
is it worth paying 100 bucks?
anyone powdercoated their stock? thinking of doing it but dont know if it will holod up. openening and closing all the time. might get scrached...

Gas cap dude eh??? From the looks of his feedback he seems legit. Might be worth a shot for just $48.

The only aspect of that gas cap that i dislike for street use is a lack of a locking mechanisem! Other than that it looks the part and its functional.
