Fits pretty much perfectly, just a little dab of glue to hold it. Haven't tried shooting it yet though. Light and cheap.

Have you thought about repining it the same as a regular FA?

That might work, the inner diameter of the hole steps down though, not sure if it was before or after the pin hole, also you would have to drill a hole though the center of the case which is hard on a curved surface

Just make sure you have proper eye protection when you shoot it, that glue will weaken overtime from oil and cleaning chemicals you might use and in case there are still enough vented gas to pop that casing out.

I just got back from the range, it fell out because the hot glue didn't bond very well to the metal. The holes for the pin are before the plug and the step down, so they should vent pressure

Hot glue?
Yeah, hot glue really wasn't designed to hold metal or non-porous surfaces, drill and pin it in place.
