I ordered my Sidewinder from Airguns of Arizona about 2- yesrs ago. When I got it, I ordered 2 extra magazines and I asked them if they had any other recommendations, to which they replied, get a moderator. I asked which kind. They said they only offer one. So I added it to the list.
Everything arrived all stuffed into one of the pockets of that soft case it came with. I had assumed that they installed the new moderator and stuffed the other one in the pocket. But I've never been sure.

It arrived with the one on the left. But the adapter seems to be adhered to the shroud, as if it came that way from the factory. ..and I can't get the adapter to unscrew from the carbon fiber one on the right, as if it was installed that way from the factory. ..and I did have to buy an adapter.
I can see them using red Loctite at the factory. But that would be kind of ballsy for AOA to put red lock tight on an adapter that I didn't even tell them to install. And if that's the case, why not on the moderator? no other paperwork came with it. I've been stumped this whole time
