I think you have not taken into consideration the release of the firing pin lock as the carrier slides into battery. But as stated above, your point is?

It is threaded on. Much of the time it will come off by hand. They make a wrench to remove them. I don't remember where I got mine at though.

Here is the text of the email from Alliant. Believe what you want. RE: Alliant Powder - Ask the Expert Form Trash x Alliant Reloading <Alliant.Reloading@vistaoutdoor.com> Tue, Nov 5, 11:58 AM (2 days ago) to me Karl, It is true. We discontinued the Black MZ over a year ago. Thanks, Duane V. /Technical Service Representative 2299 Snake River Ave. Lewiston, ID 83501 Alliant/Blazer/CCI/Speer (800)379-1732

I exchanged emails with Alliant on Monday. Black MZ was discontinued last year. The supplies are rapidly dwindling. I looked at Sportsman's Warehouse and out of stock.
