The problem is with a stripped thread in the underside of the air chamber, at the front near the loading tap. It's for the short stud (1/4 inch dia.) threaded at each end, that holds the cocking mechanism in place.
It's a blind hole, the obvious route is to drill and tap it to a larger size, then turn a stud with suitable thread at one end to fit the larger hole.
Anone here done it before?
