eBay, my good man. It's been a couple of years, perhaps they've tightened up a bit, but you may still be able to find them. I believe I paid around $30 for a pair. There were a TON of them when I got mine, I only see one on eBay right now and it's already more than I think I'd pay.

If it's not numbered to 10 and doesn't have the prancing pony on the bottom, it's not Colt brand and you ought to avoid it.

If you have a magwell, you may have to trim the black plastic base cover a little in order for it to seat fully.
 
Holy carp, man what was your shutter speed for that? I've been wanting to go out to the desert at night and play with my camera and some guns.

Skunky - as I have mentioned re this shot other times - it was one of those pics I hardly feel able to claim full credit for.

Camera for that was my lil' Kodak DX6340 ..... not much ability to set things manually but - had my son resting it on one bench to right of me - and we set exposure time to something like half second - and he said ''go'' - and I went!. What was so surprising was, not just that we got the exposure as seen, but - seemingly the gun froze, it's sharp - when in fact it was - you'd think - ready for some serious recoil. It also nicely shows the twilight sky.

Maybe just plumb good luck - and I have tried to reproduce this using my Minolts DiMAGE A1 but - and this is odd - got caseydog to shoot rounds for me whilst I operated camera on manual. Shutter at 1 sec ... various apertures etc - and darned if anything at all would register ... zilch. Yet to explain that!

So - thus far this pic counts as ''one o' those things that you get now and then'' .... possibly never to be quite repeated, tho I have it mind to do some more experiments sometime.
