About 5 years ago someone on EBay was parting out what seemed like a complete MKII 5*. I watched the auction closely because I wanted a front handguard. In the end I think all the parts netted him about $1800. The nose cap went for $250 if memory serves me. I was happy to get the handguard I needed. Now that was a few years back and prices on Ross parts seem to ebb and flow but if you put that nose cap on the EE for $250 I’d bet someone would grab it from you.
