metal butt plugs

Good Afternoon gents,
I am hoping that you all may be able to help me out a bit here. I am looking for some metallic butt plugs similar to the REC's. Do you all know if there are any other companies making these? I have most of the sponsors but did not come up with anything. If I could find them with a OD of approximately 7/8 of an inch that would be fantastic.

thanks,
Tom Kaufmann

I have taken a think it's called a carrage bolt. Put it on a drill filed and polished it. They come in many sizes and help with the ballance of a rod. Got them at home depot. look around and see things that can be used.

That is a great idea Bill, and you can get them in Stainless Steel ! Took me a minute to realize what a Carriage Bolt looked like.

Sorry Bill, I am a legitimate drug user. I had knee surgery a couple weeks ago.

I apologize for the apparently inappropriate comment.

Thomas, are you in the Navy? I noticed NMCI next to your name, I was in the navy for 8 years.
