Where can one purchase a replacement trigger assembly? I notice this guide doesn’t have one linked 😅

Mr-Invalids - Contestar

I concour, Where can we purchase a replacement trigger assembly? The replacement is nowhere to be found on the internet. Mine's pulverized from an accidental drop. The controller is gathering dust ever since. Please advice. Thank you.
