The adapter you describe is the military UG-83B/U, which RF Industries makes as RFN-1036-1. Actually, the RFN-1036-1 is better than the military part, because it is silver-plated with a gold-plated center contact and Teflon dielectric. It is available from RF Parts, Tessco, Talley, and Hutton for about $6 a copy.
