I believe the "A" version is now including the adhesive in with the compensator kit. The adhesive was previously a separate part number to purchase. I just ordered the new A version from Kutter HD. I guess I will find out for sure when it arrives.
We'll I was wrong. The new version does not come with the adhesive and you cannot buy it separately. I just canceled my order for the new compensator from Kutter. WTF you can't buy the adhesive, but it's required to install the deflectors? It won't work with my Baker primary cover anyway. I guess I will just wait on the darkhorse version compensator to come to market.
Wasn't the Dark Horse Compensator supposed to have been out last year? Anyone have an update on it as a Google search doesn't come up with much except what is already on the forums?

I've been corresponding with John at Darkhorse. I got an email about 3 months ago saying they were in the last stages of testing. They want to make sure everything is just right before they release it.
Since they still sell the other components just go out and buy a good adhesive from Loctite or some other high end manufacturer. There are glues out there stronger than steel these days. Your only holding a light piece of plastic in place. Clean the area completely and glue it in. http://www.lord.com/products-and-sol...roduct.xml/304

I agree that will work. Plenty of adhesives out there. But HD not including it in the first place is ridiculous. I can't use it anyway because my Baker primary cover is different on the inside. It's not cast, it's billet and doesn't have the ribs on the inside like the OEM cover.
i would not be surprised if the new compensator turns out to be junk, like the earlier ones. wait till them little needle bearing end up loose in there.
