Help! Beer Gun Spring

Fri Dec 31, 2010 5:17 pm

I lost my beer gun spring. I cannot see where to buy one (checked NB, B3, and the Blichmann site). Anyone know how to get one?

Did you try emailing blichmann about it. If they won't send one, they may atleast tell you the specs on it. I can measure mine but i can't tell you the spring constant accurately though.

Last time I had some beer gun questions I emailed John and he got right back to me in a day or so. He should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Hey Mills - did you figure out what kind of spring to use? Mine's getting a bit worn out.

I am surprised that a replacement part can't be purchased through Blichmann...
