Hello all,
I have exhausted my search of the sponsors. i am looking for two Gunsmoke Frame Gold Ring tip tops. Batson makes it but not in the size i need. i need a 13 (5.2mm) tube and a 10 ring. Link shows the top.
Any help is appreciated,

Jim,
Since you have indicated that Batson does not make it; have you looked at all of the other guide makers to see if they make it.

Or to ask another question, do you have knowledge that Batson made it at one time, but no longer make it and are hoping to find old stock that someone may have?

Be safe

Thank you for the responses so far.
Someone made it.
I am assuming it was batson since the broken tips look exactly like the attached picture. It may be a discontinured size or a one off for the manufacturer of the rods, Which is a Quantum Blue Runner #bssu5950 5'9'' 40-60#.
I need two tip tops of the size stated above.
I have searched PacBay, AT,Kigan, & Batson.
I was hoping someone may have some old stock.

Regards,

Thanks Ryan,
that is where i clipped the picture. if you use the drop down menu's and choose the titanium / gold option the next menu down only gives you a choice of 6 for a ring size. and a tube size on the next menu is only 10 i believe. The documents says they have the right sizes. None suppliers i checked carry the top in big enough sizes.

Ryan, i just realized you are Batson. If you can verify that i can get that ring in the size i need i can notify Get Bit to place an order for me. Let me know what you find out.
i can be reached by phone to discuss as well. your email is hidden, but if you send me a contact number i can call you or reply with my cell. i don't want to post it on the forum.

Thank you sir.
J Scott
