i don't think that was a two piece oxknob Dave , i'm pretty sure water seeped in and over the years kept on refreezing and eventually splitting the thing in the two halves. almost all of mine are threaded in the inside but i do have a few that aren't . i think i'm up to 20 now , hey whats the price of brass going nowdays anyway. lol lol

So that's what those are!! I have quite a few myself and they always sound like a mortar blast in the headphones!! I always think Silver or Lrg Copper and then I pull out an ox knob...
