HW cocking link end Broke off!!

[Barryg]

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

First when you say ( But it shows that other brands have issues.) Are you sort of saying that the 77/97 does have a fault by not having a ABT.

And second the 48 trigger you have quoted from that old post on the DWC was a bit vague and not proof it was the same part.

No I'm not saying that. Lots of rifles out there don't have bear traps . Any part can fail as we have seen on the Diana .

Yes the 77/97 issue should be fixed but so should any other brands that have a known fault.

Yes 3 or so Diana sears have failed. How many more potential ones are out there ? A possible fatality waiting to happen and Diana 's response ?

Contact umarex. Yes umarex maybe the importer but Diana is the parent company and looks like they have passed the buck to the importers .

Did you contact Diana ? What was their reply to you ?

Slating one company is not good when your beloved Diana seems to be doing the same .

Hang on I'm not slating HW I'm just quoting what airgun world said about the cocking link and lack of a ABT.

If you can send or show me some evedence of the other two sears that you claim have failed I could then email Diana as I only have proof of one.

Did a member on here not have one that broke ? He replied to your thread. Plus the one in the states?

Post #27 on the thread you started. One from look no hands .

On the subject of bear traps. http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....hw77-bear-trap

Did you not comment on this post about some one wanting to REMOVE one?

Might not work like others brands bear traps but it's got one fitted , correct ?

The only other one in the states is the 48 you mentioned and that was unclear with no evedence and the other was I think Pete on here but again no pics for evedence. As far as I know only one prooven to fail and anyway nothing heard of since, it's not in any airgun mag as a known fault, or is it

If this has been a known problem surely HW should have made a fix by now.? It's getting sent back,considering its lasted 500 shots ish.!! I Would expect a replacement part.
Or do we expect the same as VW owners and get fobbed off.

Now see, that is different! If the gun was new and has never been taken apart then it shouldn't have broken and is indeed a warranty issue. The only ones I've know of break were user error issues on rebuild.

This does not mean an anti-beartrap is fitted. This part, sf010, is a part that only stop the trigger from being pulled when the cocking lever is down. The Diana and the AA TX200 actually have a ratchet like mechanism that will stop the comp. tube slamming home, if there is a failure in the trigger or the tip of the center rod in the piston snaps. Mark I TX's also have no beartrap, but I've shot 100,000 shots with one and still have my fingers.
