Better late than never...
I contacted them per your information and received a replacement handle that same week. I had been out to the range a handful of times since, and the last trip out the handle worked itself off again. The next time I head out I will see if I can get it to work loose...
He's 100% sure its steel. Obviously not lead or copper which is what "green" ammo was supposed to be. He states that its US manufactured, likely with Chinese projectiles.
My gunsmith that did my build in GA (that also works for TACOM as a weapons expert) recently received some fraudulent Federal XM80C ammunition.
