This started annoying me, I must resurrect this thread. I am not surprised how come nobody from ST chimed in.
I toke it apart last night, and here we are:
- The OEM handle link has a 2.5 mm hole (also the OEM front block had a 2.5 mm dowel pin)
- The Saber Tactical front block has a 2.0 mm hole (and a 2.0 mm pin)
This is a 0.5mm play in the hole but projected to the handle lever = a large amount of loose play and slaps the front block hard.
I don't think I can find that FX link as a stand alone part with a 2.0 mm hole to match the ST front block.
Also I cannot imagine getting the front block from Saber Tactical as a RECALL part.
So I am left alone...the best and painless to get over with it? - me to grab a 2.5 mm drill and do some elbow greasing to enlarge the black block hole (2.0 mm hole on Right side) and find a matching 2.5 mm piece of dowel or rod to tighten down the play.
But a problem still on surface...what can guaranty me (before I even start modding it) that that 2.0mm hole in the ST front block is in right position? Because by design (this what I am saying this is a design flaw and not a manufacturing error).
Hey, Saber Tactical, next time do a better job, because this kit you sold me is a half job done, I am not saying this is poop job but you shall not sell it for $125 USD but like the Chinese friends for peanuts.
