M1A Parts Question

I didn't really know where to put this

I have been trying to track down an adjustable gas plug for an M1A for several months. I attempted to purchase through Midway and Creedmoor Sports but both are back ordered and the two times I received emails that the plus was in stock I ordered it and was told that it again was back ordered.

I have googled and duck-duck go-ed until the end of the internet....I even used Bing once....I believe everyone knows how that would go without me explaining.

Armslist and Gunbroker have nothing.

So....Does anyone know where to find one or have one to sell?

Did you try 1919a4 forum? 1919a4.com
They have a section dedicated to M1's and similar.
They have over 10,000 members and respond to questions.
Have to have 10 posts to post Buy, Sell, Trade, but you can ask questions on your first post.

CMP forum has an M14/M1A section. Just checked for you but only about 5 pages back. I didn’t see one.

Thanks for checking.

I joined M14 Forum...Very weird/interesting set up. I base all my forum knowledge on how CO AR15 is. This was the first forum I had ever joined and I base all forum knowledge using what I know about this platform.

I tried a couple other forums like Snipers Hide and ARFCOM but everything always seemed so disorganized.

Anyway, one of the members on M14 Forum had some great info and provided a lot of great knowledge in my quest to reduce gas (specifically in the M14/M1A). Other gases may still be an issue.
