So I got my Apex DCAEK and took the gun apart to install it.
Seen the video?...they talk about the sear sping plunger begin tiny and to be careful not to lose it....
Well, after dropping the new spring in i found the plunger riding completely on top of the whole, so I took my flat headed punch and put some pressure on to make sure it traveled freely.
As I was doing this I heard an inner voice telling me to stop, because I was going to slip with the spring compressed and it will fly...well I didn't stop...and it did slip...and the plunger did fly...away.
So here I am with not plunger....checking with S&W, nope wont sell you a plunger and all parts inside are restricted...have to send the gun in for 4 weeks.
So i search around...found the entire sear housing assembly on sale but not the plunger.
So I thought I contact Apex, maybe they know where I can buy one. But it was Friday evening past their open hours, but I thought what the heck, I'll fill in their web form.
Come Monday I receive a call from from Jon at Apex, calling to make sure I only lost the plunger and not the spring too!!
Said he drop it in the mail no problem.
So today I received a little envelop in the mail, only 2 days later, a new plunger free of charge!!
Hows that for customer service!! Particularly as I lost the original one due to my own stupidity.
Again, if anyone from Apex reads this board, lots of thanks and kudos to you.
