Sharp Innova cracked breech

That's why I bought an ace. Steel breech much better. Shame they did not do a steel or alloy breech for the Innova as I love the shortness of the gun.

Thats why i bought a Sharps Ace, hated guns with plastic, early 70s 80s plastic was crap not like plastic today but saying that who knows how long todays plastic will stand up in the future to the elements chemicals and wear and tear.

I will follow Colin's advice to finish the break.
Just spoke to a plastic repair company here in Amsterdam.
I will go there on Tuesday to decide what is the best way to (try to) repair the breech.
Perhaps plastic welding will be possible.

I still think the Innova was Sharp's best design.
I have 8, and this is the only one with a (big, lol) problem.
All from the eighties, all working perfect. So light and compact, big smiles every time.

The manual is indeed clear that one must hold the breech whilst pumping!
