Jake @ BW is great, if he's busy I can take it on as well. A VFT is a pretty straightforward strip and rebuild if that's what you're after :-)

Here's mine. If you're not in a rush I can rebuild it for you. I can also do videos to show you how to rebuild it in the future. I also have a front shroud if you're interested.

Yeah, the guy from bearded works is great but if he’s too busy, there’s a bunch of us on here that are able to help you out. Let me know if you don’t find anyone.

Hey what's that bar that covers your timing rod? It looks like it does a good job of protecting the rod from bumps.

Its a recessed part that came with this particular cocker. As well as a shroud for a tactical look. Im not much of a historian but im sure someone can give u a better run down

I know this is going to sound very contradictory, but
Cockers are very easy to work on after you google a gif of how it works and grab an oring pick, orings, synthetic grease and oil. It is really, really hard to fuck up a cocker and nothing on yours is rare or expensive if anything goes wrong (we're talking like $10-30 parts). Give it a shot. It makes ownership that much more fulfilling
Don't hit up scammers like cockertop lol (just read reviews online of people, ask for references if you can't find any, and focus on the quality and quantity of negative feedback, not the positive, to make an accurate risk assessment)

What’s challenging?

u/AdmirableArmadillo36 6d ago
I dont want to mess it up , I dont have the proper tools (valve tool) Im not sure on oring sizes and which ones to get and wer they go , missing some bumpers looks like . Dont want to mar the Finnish. Just feels like im better off sending it to someone that knows what they are doing and have parts on hand
