Yes, that was one of the first things I noticed when Walther's took over the line. From LifeLike spare parts were never an issue. Send a note with part numbers and the parts would appear a week or so later. But when Walthers took over, no spare parts. When I called them, they said, "Yes", they got literally tons of them from LifeLike but "didn't have the personnel" to get them all sorted out and available to customers.And I imagine you can't get replacement parts? I certainly did NOT want to break anything,...the reason for this posting.
