Nick & Sam,

Thanks for the replies.

Nick,
Not quite visualizing what your describing. Any links?

I tried getting the butt cap off gingerly, but no dice.
Figured I'd ask before wrenching on it.
Are the caps epoxied on or do they snap on some how?

Sound like the worst case scenario is I'll be buying another butt cap if I take it off and there isn't enough room as you mentioned Nick.
