Thanks for that, very handy info to have.
MAW1 (mark) offered me a breech but money issues means I cant get it this week. So i've passed on it. Very kind offer by all accounts.
To be honest, I'm a little disheartened that this has happened. So I've stuck the gun in the back of my cabinet, out of sight out of mind!
The hole top of the scope rail has sheared off. The gun still pumps up but no scope can be fitted!
Thanks to all those who've replied.
