Best reusable grenade? Thinking about a TRMR.

[Duff]

Oh bugger.

Wish I had read this thread before I ordered a VTG yesterday.

Should i be looking at canceling and going with something else ? or is it worth waiting ?

I'd be inclined to cancel immediately. Get on the blower to your bank to get the transaction reversed.

Best timed nade on the market but they have random times in the year where they run out of parts, so you'll be waiting up to a month without a lick of a word form them.
It's terrible business etiquette.

Right now they "should" be coming to the end of the shortage of parts, but it's hard to say I'm afraid.
I would call them as my friend's nade should have been shipped today which means the "should" be back to ready to deliver in a day.

Thanks for taking the time to reply so quickly gents.

i'll give them a call as see what their waiting times are. Sounds like it could be worth waiting for ?

Eh.  Mine mostly worked, now it sometimes works.  Notionally it's warranted, but given their responsiveness and turnaround times...

I wish I'd bought a Dynatex.  I'd certainly advocate buying a Dynatex that does exist over paying for a VTG that might exist in the future.

Sorry to hear that you're on the waiting list, and good luck cancelling the order.  Expect the phrase "I'll need to speak to Paul." then some babble about restock fees.

I've managed to take mine apart, best thing I can say to you is drop a couple drops of silicone oil on the firing pin (down the sides if you can) and then just go to work pushing it down and up again, add another drop and leave it to go down with gravity overnight.
It makes it fire so much better.

Same for the TRMR, works so much better if you drop it on its side vs either end.

Sure, I've given it a good scoosh of silicone oil, I'll see whether that's unstuck it.  It does still trigger, just not always fast or far enough to detonate the primer.

If you ask nicely they can usually send up parts if you have an order number or serial number?
Also it could be damp or crap ammo.

Any moisture has to be dried out totally.

Allegedly you're not meant to lube it as it messes up the timing, but hey if it works.

And yeh, I'd store your ammo and nades in a sealed bag with a couple of packets of silica gel.

 

[Rogerborg]

Well, my VTG worked a treat today, fragging reliably even after being trodden into the mud.  If it's sticking, I'd say you've got little to lose.

 

[proffrink]

Doesn't the VTG manual say not to do it though? I know the Dynatex one does but I'm probably with you in disregarding that.
