Spyder AKA Lightning Bolt Question

[pbchris33]

Hello!

I just purchased a lightning bolt from AKA site as I am trying to build my own black widow. I accidentally stripped the hammer lug on my old bolt. I am wondering if anyone has an extra one around or have parameters of the lug to purchase from McMaster Carr.

Picture attached for reference. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Hammer lug?

Are you in need of the screw at the rear of the bolt (where the rear cocking rod threads in)? Or are you in need of the connecting pin which secures the hammer to the bolt?

[pbchris33]

connecting pin securing hammer to bolt! I didn't know the term for it, I thought the bolt came with one.

It's a bit surprising to me that the new ones come sans pin. I can get you one when I'm home again. That will be the end of next week if you can wait.

That would be amazing, I will send you a message!

It may be a little bit before you can send messages as your account is new and has only a few posts. No rush on my part again as I'm out of state.

Do you have an actual black widow body or are you building up a regular Spyder body with aka bits? I only ask because not many of the widows are accounted for and it would be great to see more show up again.

I have an old TL Plus I am adding AKA bits to. I have no idea what pressure it will operate at. I need to drill out the ASA and VASA as I bought this back in early 2000's and is meant for c02. I love seeing the black widows pop up now and again!


I will post a picture of my Frankenstein when I finish it up!
