S200 cocking pin snapped

I know it's happened to many others I know but it's now got my gun too . Any pitfalls to be aware of when tackling it?

Hi Darren this happened to me a few years back (serial No in the 20's) I just machined an M5 Allen bolt down to fit. The broken bit came out fairly easy I tapped it round with a sharpened cetre punch and small hammer.

i bought two at the same time the first week they came out few years back!

one in .22 and the target .177 fella!

both went in the same month along with another 5 club members in the space of a 4 month period!

i phoned AA and wa told to suck eggs and i had to be delicate with the guns and that there wasnt a design flaw, when i pointed out that there was a differance of nearly 600 serial numbers between all 7 guns and that a retired engineer in the club had indeed identified weekness and flaws in the materials used she quickly changed her tune and rattled of i think 10 sets of complete new bolts and other fittings FOC.

moral of the story dont try to fob off your customers just smile gracefully eat humble pie and dispatch the goods off ASAP!

just sold that mk 1 .177 recently and i must admit i had a tear in me eye when it went, however i hate the mods and the plastic on the mk 11!
