 Tirant 45 question prior to purchase

My local dealer only has a non-user serviceable model tirant 45 in stock. I.E. the endcap doesn't unthread to disassemble. Since this will be a new purchase, should I request that they get a new serviceable can in or should I just buy what he has? It's a pretty penny so I figured it would be best to get the one that disassembles.
Thanks for your input.

Pass...You've waited this long, might as well wait a lil longer and get the better product (and what you know you really want)....

How much does he want for it? If you can get it at a good discount it may be worth it.

Contact Stalking Rhino and find out what they'd want to jailbreak it. See if the dealer will come down that amount off of the price.

iirc, The front cap on the "old" ones is threaded and though with some effort, will come off.

A few people also buggered their cans up good trying to do so. It seems that the amount of rocksett/loctite applied to the endcap threads seems to be inconsistent. For some it came off easy. For others they damaged their endcap and it still didn't budge.

Yep, I made my own spanner tool and opened up my sealed can.

Don't be afraid of a little rocksett.
