HW cocking link end Broke off!!

[series2a]

Anyone else had the tip break off on HW 97 ???

[tinbum]

Yep, quite a common occurence. If you try and insert it with fists of ham it just pings off! The good news is they're usually in stock with Chambers and Knibbs.

The last one I had delivered was bent. I had to straighten it - ish.

[where's it gone]

Package it well, and send it off to the man himself and tell him exactly what you thought of his quality.
I'm pretty sure that he doesn't know of the sort of quality he is sending out,.
If he replies, and I think that he will, great.
If he doesn't bother, you know where to stand.

Some also fracture along the lug, usually when a super beefed up spring has been wedged in.

Airgun world did a article where this was mentioned and they say that the corner shows a classic stress fracture and if this fracture fails completely during cocking, there is a very real danger of having your fingers caught in the loading port.
And go on to say that HW should have fitted a ABT.

I guess the problem is that there no shoe but the HW fans will not admit to this dangerous fault just keep saying hold on to the lever so HW carry on getting away with it.

Naw... during cocking, you're hardly likely to have your fingers in the loading slot.

Once cocked, the main sear is taking the pressure, so holding on to the cocking lever is just a fail-safe... which, yes, would be better if it was also fail-safe...

It's a bit more dangerous. Like getting into your car is a bit more dangerous than staying at home - incase the wind catches the car door and smashes your brains in.

I bet this thread is like Christmas isn't it Barry?

Plus didn't Diana not have trigger parts that broke and could cause a accident ?

LOL is this the best way to answer a question about a very long term
Known fault with the 77/97 by quoting a one off broken part that has had no other reports since, don't forget I was the one who started the thread I didn't hide from what might have been a fault

Maybe. But it shows that other brands have issues.

Did Diana come back with an answer? Yeah they did .the fobbed the person off. And was it not more than one that broke ?

They emailed me last week and basically thanked me for contacting them and told me to contact Umarex for anything more on this topic. Wasn't the response I was hoping for.
I had another person contact me saying that he has a 48 with a broken trigger also. I don't know what to say except be careful guys. It all seems to be falling on deaf ears. John
