OK, so I got a used Fujinon W 300mm f5.6 lens the other day and I just noticed that the threaded insert that allows for threading a cable release to the lens is missing. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one that will fit the Copal 3?

Offhand, I don't know where to get that part.
The person who sold the lens is the one who should be looking for the cable socket.
One man's Mede is another man's Persian.
Fuji lenses in #3s of a certain vintage have an unusual "dog-ear" flanged cable release socket. When a client* accidentally ripped mine out, Adam at SKG was baffled, but I saved the old one, he was able to re-install it.
(* OK, a co-worker ripped it out the first time, then a client ripped it out the second time.....sigh)
Well, the seller came through and sent me the replacement part and it installed without a hitch and works great. It's great to know that there are sellers who do their best to please the buyers. My Fuji 300mm is good to go.
