Ah yes Pete, there is a fine line where the insert meets the shroud, about 2 or 3mm from the end. It is a very fine joint. I can barely see it through my old eyes without a magnifier.

So you prefer
this design of the un-shrouded barrel endings? ... IIRC with that version, the whole assembly screwed on to the screw cut TX barrel, and the small under-slung clippy bit alone weighed about a pound, like it was made of uranium, so it was something of a muzzle weight.
I didn't mind the look of the old TXHC 'OXO catch'
here and
here to be fair. But I best check if the new one
here is the same shape as the old one.
