Antennas: Covering Up the AS-3900/A/VRC SINCGARS

BLUF: The protective dust cover for the AS-3900A/VRC SINCGARS antenna base can be ordered with NSN 5340-01-316-0883.
 
Dear Half-Mast,

I'm looking for the NSN for the protective dust cover for the AS-3900A/VRC SINCGARS antenna base (antenna subassembly—insulator/adapter), NSN 5985-01-353-8696, PN A3017902-2. I'm pretty sure it’s a Class IX item, but I’ve been unsuccessful in locating a good NSN. Would you assist me in finding one?
 
Mr. E.J.
Dear Sir,
 
We’ve got you covered. Order the protective cap with NSN 5340-01-316-0883, PN A3013158-2. I checked stock availability for this NSN in FedMall. There are plenty of the caps in stock.
