I have now broken the little arm/sear, to the rear of the bolt 3 times, and TNW wants 125$ for the complete assembly?! I tried to get one made from my machinest but he said they made the part so small that it will continue to break no matter what metal is used? I found the guy on here who was selling a longer arm assembly, but not sure who out there was in the same boat as me and was breaking them as easily as I am? I am only getting about 200 rounds out and it lets loose..! TNW wants me to send them the gun(which is out of warranty), but I told them that I am not paying for a single penny sinve they want the gun back... if there is a problem with "their" gun, they should pony up and honor the work or payment involved... to me they should R/D Q/A their product a little more!!

Can't help with your tnw issue but went to your website and checked it out.
Lots of nice pics and stuff. Good Luck with everything

Hi merc15, are you using the TNW-supplied heavy firing pin spring? Mine works well with the stock German spring and commercial ammo. The WW2 spring is much lighter, and I feel that the fire control parts will last longer being under less stress. And thr trigger pull is very acceptible. Good luck!...Phil

Comparison of the original German f/p spring, to the nasty stiff TNW spring. You might try an original in you gun if you haven't yet. It works well in mine....Phil

Hey Guys,

I changed my TNW spring out as well for an original spring from a full auto bolt I had, huge difference.

Now if I can just figure out a cure for the trigger I will be a happy man. :-)

Cheers
