GU in O-town does not have any parts. Hasn't had parts since I bought my first 505 from them in 1999. They sent everything back to Japan, it was explained to me at the time that that was part of the deal they had with SKB. If an older Ithaca/SKB broke, there was a guy up in Canada who bought all the parts and that was the guy you had to contact. Its been years since I've had his contact info, and I can't recall his name. I agree, the SKB is a great gun. I did own a pretty nice model 100 that had a terrible single trigger though, it was way messed up and never worked right. I'll just chalk that particular gun up as a lemon, it was most definately not indicative of other model 100's that I or my friends have owned, all of which have been 100% reliable.
