Well, Ive asked before without response, so I'm asking again - I need some help from the owners of BG-15 or GP-30 AK grenade launcher owners out there - I have one, but lost the release trigger for the grenades, so I cant load one and hold it in the launcher. I've contacted every manufacturer out there I can find that makes them, with no avail on trying to get a replacement part (no responses from most, CAW wants 23 bucks for a new arm, but I cant get them to email me back..) I was wondering if ANYone with slight mechanical know-how could push the little pin from their arm, take it out, and photograph it for me?
I'm a machinist, so I plan on making my own arm, but the only photo I have is at a 3/4 angle and I cant get good dimensions off of it so I can remake it.
So..Is anyone out there willing to do this please? I'd love to have a working launcher, but this one's been a paperweight for nearly a year!
It's easy to do - hold the arm with one finger, push the pin out, be careful of the spring as you release the arm (so it doesn't get lost) and put the arm on its side on a piece of white paper (for resolution) and snap 2 pictures of it, post it here, and get my undying gratefulness! Simple reverse procedure to put it back in..easy peasy.
Here's the only picture I can find for it:

Top of the page, labeled "BG-15 steel cart catch"..
That's not enough of a picture to take dimensions from, so if I could get a top-down picture of it I would be immensely grateful!!
Thanks for any help
