I have absolutely no clue what insert it has. I can ask THC and let you know. Is it a bad thing if it is, and if it is what insert should I request next time?
There are basically two parts to a duck call, the barrel and the insert. The barrel is your antler, the insert is the plastic part inserted into it which holds the reeds. There are a lot of custom call makers that simply make barrels and buy inserts from Echo because figuring out the insert is pretty tough getting the shape and reed setup right to sound like a duck. Echo makes good calls, damn fine ones at that, so it's not like you are getting a defunct call or anything, and you got your antler in it which is pretty bad ass so don't think too far into it, it's just that a lot of call makers that make the whole call turn their noses at ones who just buy inserts from echo.
I'm glad someone would turn that barrel for you. There should be nothing wrong with that call and it should do you well for life. If something ever happens to the plastic, you can always by a new insert from echo for not a ridiculous price also.
I feel like I'm rambling now. Short version, rock that call and be proud of it every second.
