Ok had a problem with my Tanaka today, took a mag out and some plastic a ball bearing and the twisted remains of a spring fell out :x

Stripped it down and found that the hop chamber (65) had cracked in half, and the spring and bearing were from the hop (61&62).

Now I can probably glue/araldite the hop chamber back together and maybe improvise a replacement spring, but I thought while its in pieces would be nice to fit a BGS hop.

Are they still available anywhere?-- attachment is not available --

Part 65 is notorious for breaking. Trying to mend it will largely be a waste of time as it will never work properly. Much better to buy a replacement part.

Any idea as to a supplier? :good:

Not any more. Far too much hassle!




When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
