I have a problem

[joe bob]

I have a problem with Buying spare parts, If I want a spring I have to buy a kit, if I need new screws I have to buy a kit


Where can I get parts without buying an expencive kit

 

[kidzero]

maybe you just ask around on your local sites when you are there playing. someone might bought a kit but did not need the spring...and so on

If you need a spring or something try buying an aftermarket set like the shocktech sets, these are far cheaper than a full spares kit.

O rings etc. can normally be found from other ballers in exchange for a cup of coffee at most.

For screws, if you need something particular try a good hardware store. You'll probably find screws are much cheaper if bought this way. Just find someone who really knows what they are talking about or you run the risk of getting the wrong thread and shafting your gun!

Orings and screws can be bought at any hardware store. I have a 'cocker running on 90% Home Depot O-rings, and being held together by Home Depot screws. Buying an SS screw kit for the 'cocker would have cost me like $15, and I got enough SS screws to bolt together 5 'cockers for less than $5 at the local hardware store. Improvise. Be creative.

 

[joe bob]

would home depot be a good place to get springs too?

 

[dr.strangelove]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention,

All the sear springs in my autocockers are streteched Home Depot utility springs. You can improvise just about anything with stuff at the Home Depot. You can make really cheap squeeges with O-rings and sponges from there too.
