Supporters SeniorSpaz87 Posted June 10, 2020 Supporters Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hey all, One of my VTGs has unfortunately failed. Looks like the spring and pin that hold the firing pin down have managed to wiggle out and are now exploring the wilderness. I tried emailing SWAT but have heard nothing back - its been about three weeks. Anyone know who else I can try to contact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 SWAT are sadly very unreliable at both delivering product and replying to queries nowadays. Not quite sure about the specific issue (i.e. how would the firing pin and spring escape?!) but here's a teardown thread, if it helps: https://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/208255-dynatec-dynatex-vtg-bfg-how-it-works-and-take-down/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether the Dynatex BFG sear is the same size, and whether you could contact them for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I saw somewhere that they were interchangeable since they're essentially the same product. Perhaps if you can get the dimensions you could get a replacement made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFrag.UK Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Do Swat have any form of social media page you could try contacting them through? Might be worth having a nosey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The SWAT website is still up but I tried email and phone to try and buy one a few months ago.... no response. After reading some of the forum posts about em afterwards I'm glad I didn't send any money 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a facebook page but there has not been any activity on there since the lockdown. https://www.facebook.com/SWATAIRSOFTUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropeyshep Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It looks like a fairly straightforward piece of brass, do you know anyone with a lathe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
