GPX 5000 Upper Shaft Twist Lock Nut Replacement

[Dutchman4]

Can the upper shaft twist screw/lock nut be removed from the shaft without destroying it?

Can a replacement lock nut be purchased?

I saw an after market, upper S-Grip shaft on a 5000, any one use one of these before and are they still available?

If looking for straight shaft, better to replace the shaft with the carbon fiber one from Steve which has all the attachments

There is a video on the tube showing you how to do it. I just watched it. It's a minelab video.
