It looks like the part is available. It is on the Numrich site in the US for about US$45 so it should be able to be ordered in. I'd try a few other gun stores. I don't know who distributed SKB but that's where I'd start.

Good result, but we pay over the odds for a part that should be 1/3 the price. Good to hear your gun will be back in order soon.
Dealers please note. I understand everyone has to make a margin. I know the Aus and State Govts make you jump through hoops but please don't gouge buyers on top. Maybe have your invoice explain why a US$28 part costs A$75 so we buyers are informed and can lobby accordingly.
