Other than Ohio Rapid Fire who sells VZ58 compliance parts? Mainly the FCG.
ORF is out of triggers and said new ones are a few weeks out. So I'm looking for another source.
What would really be nice is if someone had drawings of the FCG so I could make my own.

I don't know anyone doing the fcg other than ORF. I was going to to a run of pistons, but I only had 3 parts committed. If I can get a few more I'll do a limited run.

ORF is the only place I know of that supplies them. Other companies have used plastic trigger groups, but I don't know where they source them.
I can take my ORF trigger group and give you dimensions (and maybe even a .dwg if I have enough free time) if you'd want to try to make your own. Just keep in mind, by the time all of that would happen, ORF would most likely have parts back in stock.
Waiting a couple weeks for parts really isn't that big of a deal, especially in today's environment...

Possibly Thompson machine?

Thanks for the offer but we just got a lathe and I'm going to use the piston to help me learn the control. I've done a lot of manual stuff on it but I have yet to write/run a program on it and this looks like a good part to start with.

If you could get me dimensions for the trigger group that would be great. Even if its just a rough sketch with dims on it that you could fax/email/mail me. I could draw it up and then post it back up in .dwg or .dxf for anyone else looking to make their own.
I have 4 of these kits to do so I had hoped to buy one of everything and make the other three in my spare time.
Possibly Thompson machine?
Thanks, I just sent them an email.

If you have 4 kits, you have 4 samples of fcg to measure/copy right?

I have the original full auto stuff but the US made semi auto stuff I have seen looks different. You can see the difference in animator's thread.
