E-Mag selector switch ball bearing

[PRPB]

I just took my emag apart, because of trigger issues. Well I forgot about the ball bearing that holds the selector switch in place and now it's lost. I have no time to order any so does anyone know if home depot, radio shack, walmart, or any other store would have them. I need to find a replacement tomorrow cause I need my emag for tuesday.

Dang, I have extra, but it'll never get to you in time. Worst case, use the ball bearing thats in the sear block assembly until u can get a new one

just ghetto tape your selector switch to hold it in position.

The only thing I could suggest is taking the grip frame into the store, and try every ball bearing they have..

here's something to try

I had lost mine and took a regular automotive grease fitting and ground open the tip.There is a small ball bearing and a spring inside.I think the ball is the same size.Not sure but at time of crisis,it's worth a try.I know its the same size as the selector detent on a vm-68 because I used one on that too.

switch out the safty one

Yeah the one from the saftey is what I would have used if I didn't find anything. Well after searching my house for a few hours I finally found something that worked.



Deep in that back of my closet was this nice ball link chain and they happen to be the right size. So now I have plenty of extra and don't have to waste any time tomorrow going store to store.

Actually, you don't need the ball bearing.
If you've got the spring, use it by itself.
Be gentle with the safety in the "spring only" condition.
You can also used the Hybrid/E selector switch - just point it to the rear.

The spring didn't do anything on it's own when I put it back together. As for using the switch as a safety mine still fires when I have the switch to the rear.

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully.

just tape it with duct tape.
