Weird. I didn't realize HK made so many different variations on one particular part. Bob, I think I like your version better. A flared tip would be easier to work with. Though.. this worked for quite a few magazines before failure.

QK, that's what I'm thinking. It worked fine without it. But I'm also left without a BUG for a carry. I'm wearing my white wool for the moment until I can figure out what to do about it. Again though, that's another reason I'm not upset.. The thing has taken quite a beating and for this to be the first thing to fail? Hell..

It is a C-clip missing from the end of the guide rod. A replacement should't cost much. On the other hand, it may be time for a new assembly anyway. The purpose of the clip is to contain the spring for disassembly and really has no function during operation. I can think of no reason why your USPc won't function fine even without the clip.

6B, if you find a good line on HK piece parts, please post it. I've found factory parts to be notoriously hard to get unless you happen to have a government contract.

Is this hard to understand? Then why does it get unintelligible to some people when 5 little words are changed?
