they come with that stock, to catch any shaving or small metal debris. I guess they just magnetically stay on the plug. Maybe someone else can verify that. I know mine has one, but ive never tried to pull it off the plug or whatever

I don't think that is the magnet on the end of the plug I think he means it was stuck to that magnet...

I just realized I haven't looked at a dime in a long time....

I don't see any threads (magnified) but it does look like it has a few strike marks, I think I'd **** if I found it on my magnet
