Ladies and gentlemen, I can confirm once and for all: I have just polished a blasted tip. Part number ending in .00 -- as stamped in the piece itself.

How in the holy hell did I get this far and fail to ever look at the part number? I think I needed it to be beaten into my head the 17th time before it occurred to me that it was there in front of me the entire time.

Well that explains the amount of work it took to make it shine!!

And yes....I like both tips. For now the round has my eye but I can swap the 550 tip in anytime the mood strikes. Kind of a handy feature to have a single-bolt option to make a big visual change to the rear end. Too bad they took it away.

Yes, that would be a whole lot of work to polish that blasted tip. Anyway, it appears that there was a happy ending to all of that tip polishing.
