where can I get teeny tiny little springs?
28 February, 2017, 13:56
So one of the minute springs inside the blowback unit of my KSC/ASG Mac11 got mangled in the piston for some reason. And whilst it does still operate fine with just 1 spring, Id rather have 2 as theres clearly 2 for a reason.
The spring doesnt seem to be shown on any of the exploded diagrams of the mac11, but I found the one I mean on a WE Luger diagram
part 81 is the little bit Im looking for, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Obviously blah blah blah no retailers other than Z1 etc. I phoned Z1 and they said they dont carry it and dont know anywhere that would, only option would be to buy a whole new blowback unit, just for one tiny spring. There has to be somewhere out there like an RC car/helicopter place or model shop or something that does tiny springs? Any ideas anyone?

Unfortunately even making mention of RC type shops might be an issue, those shops sell batteries/lipos etc, as do Z1, hence there the conflict lies.
I found a number of packs of assorted springs, some very small, in local hardware stores, they tend to also package obscure c-clips, bolts etc etc in the same type packs.
Good luck
