Hey guys,
I bought a Panzer clone a few months back and it has been working great. I still use my dna 40 most of the time, but when I'm hiking or at work, I tend to bring my Panzer along in case I get stuck in the rain. I'd rather not subject a circuit board to too much moisture.
As it happens, I dropped the mech on its locking ring while it was locked. It still locks and unlocks, but the threads are not as smooth anymore, and tend to not catch as easily when I try to lock it. Also, the small tube on the bottom and the piece housing the firing button are completely jammed together. I've tried sticking it in a vice and taking a wrench to it, but they just won't separate. It fire just fine, but this little detail is a bit annoying. I've been searching all over for replacements for those pieces, but I can't find anything.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find replacement parts for a Panzer? The only pieces I can find are the switch itself, and contacts.
Also, I am really interested in checking out what other mech are out there, but there are too many to choose from. I only use 18650, so I have no interest in telescoping mods. Plus the ones I've seen in person seem a little flimsy. I love the setup of the Panzer (with the different parts), but I would not be opposed to a solid tube. The most important feature is that it would need to have a locking ring. And either magnets, or the potential to upgrade to a magnetic switch is something I'd like to try out.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know what you have used and what you like/hate about it. I may not be discouraged by what others dislike about their mods.
