Yes, the quick coupler is now standard for the PH 3050. I bought an older model off ebay for a good price and it has the spring. I really don't want to pay $60 for the Snap On part.
I don't think the IR 9512 will work with the PH 3050. That looks like what is on my IR gun and it won't fit. It doesn't have a PN on it, but looks like it. It has internal threads and they're too small... and also the wrong pitch.
Do any of the other couplers listed: HF, Cornwell, have internal threads?? Or do they just slide on and use set screws? The IR design is nice in that it has internal threads and three set screws so it's definitely solid.
I will probably try a HF one and see if it'll work.
