Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Busted VFC AEG charging handle / bolt catch

brock0 · September 22nd, 2014, 11:37

So I noticed that the bolt on my VFC M4 AEG was refusing to lock open when I pulled back on the charging handle.

I pulled the upper off and found that the tab on the "charging handle arm" was broken clean off (along the red line, see pic). During the process I also stretched the crap out of the charging handle spring, but replacing that shouldn't be a big deal.

My questions are as follows

1) Is it possible to buy JUST the charging handle arm from somewhere as opposed to a whole new assembly? Is so does anyone know where.

2) Will any old charging handle arm work with the VFC M4 functional bolt catch or do I need one specifically made by VFC for VFC? I actually don't know a lot of other AEG brands that feature functional bolt catches, and whether they would work in a VFC.

Thanks!
