As previous posts I bought a Walther CP3 in December. It was shooting fine and I was really pleased with it.

but...

I left the co2 cylinder on the pistol, went to use it and the cylinder was no longer screwed to the pistol!

closer inspection showed that the threaded portion of the brass part that the co2 cylinder screws into (part no. 264 see diagram below)

was now in the cylinder.

At first I assumed the thread had stripped off, but I was able to retrieve the threaded section and in fact the threaded part appears to be more like a brass ferrule that has been soldered or glued onto the main part (although the Walther diagram shows it as a single part).

Ideally I'd like to get hold of part no 264 (anyone got a broken CP3 they don't want) or I need to somehow fix the ferrule permanently onto the main part.

all (sensible!!!) ideas welcome

cheers
