    El Gamo repeaters

    Hi,
    It's not the magazine tube.......

    I wondered if anyone might be able to help me get one of these repeaters up & running. I'm after a retaining block for the magazine, it's the one on the trigger end of the cylinder. I'm pretty sure the blocks were the same for the Paratrooper, Sniper & the various 'matic versions. Hoping there might be one surviving somewhere in a spares box or on a rusty, beyond worth saving example that someone might be happy to break.
    If you have anything that might be suitable I'd be pleased to hear from you,

    Ian, thanks for putting up a picture of your one, I'm sure one like that would do the trick if anybody has one. I think the one missing from mine when I got it may have been slightly different to yours because the cylinder has two tapped holes making it look as if it was screwed down. Is your one a slide on fit held in place by the woodwork at the end of the cylinder or is there a hidden fixing? Rod

    Im not sure as Ive never had need to remove the stock but I cant see why it should be retained by a screw as the wood work makes sure it cant move.

    Good luck with your search.

    I think I have the correct bit stored in a relatives attic in a box of old gun bits. But no plans to be there soon.

    If you don’t find what you want in a couple of months, PM me and I’ll see if I can help.

    Thanks for that, I'll definitely keep that in mind if I can't find one in the meantime. Cheers
