Thank you Bruno22rf, I could but I need to show you a photograph of what this cocking lever has done to the underside of the cylinder too. It has cut in quite deeply, so something isn't right 😉. I'll get the photo when I can. I did consider welding the cocking lever wings but opted to weld the slot of the piston.

Hi everyone, especially pigeonbasher oz and Nublue 22 who have helped immensely with this project so far. I have been asked to repair the above air rifle for a very dear friend, and it's on the point of beating me. The ultimate problem is this air rifle will not cock, well only upside down! I had to increase the material at the rear of the piston, as over the years it's been worn away by a quite aggressive cocking lever With the front trigger guard screw in place, It caused the piston to jam as the cocking lever pushed the piston back. Peculiarly, the trigger guard screw didn't appear to affect the piston travel. More investigation revealed the piston was a few thou out of true and after some careful cutting on the lathe, this problem was solved. When the air rifle was re-fitted to the stock, it cocked a few times, until today when I took it outside for a proper test fire. Once again it refused to cock, After lots more investigating, this thing will only cock upside down, so I'm beginning to think this is a cocking lever problem, and the lever is probably worn out. It is of an articulated type and not a straight, one piece lever. If you clever Boys and Girls out there have any ideas and in particular, a clever Boy or Girl who also has a cocking lever assembly for a G79 air rifle, I'll be happy to read your comments Many thanks, H

Got a photo Ninja? 😃

So did I, at a huge Queen wasp 😞

Sorry it's Ebay, but here's the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134773370993 Enjoy, my fellow intrepid Gat Gun fans 😄

My quest is at an end 😃😃😃😃😃, I found the Gat Gun fly swatter on Ebay, I have messaged the seller, who makes these things asking for a link. When he sends it I will post it here, so if you'e struggling for that obscure Christmas present for your Wife, (I bought mine a Lathe for Easter one year) why not pop one of these in His/Her stocking. If they appear ungrateful, you can always use it yourself 😉

I thought that, "a break barrel pop out pistol?" 😂

Thank you for the photo, 1066 and I'll have look at that review in a minute. With no shame at all, I'm going to ask....Does anyone have the fly swatter device that came with the Gat Gun, and could it be for sale? I've looked everywhere and even enquired on Pigeon watch before. 😃😃😃

My word an accurate one 😲, good shooting 👍 Were the Cat slugs so called because they were used to ping at cats "trespassing" into a garden for a 'tom tit' amongst the vegetable patch or in my case, a decent heap out on my dog's grave?

The chrome one was really posh 😲, I couldn't afford one of them. Like Robden, we also ran around shooting each other with them, it stung a bit if by some miracle someone got a shot on target but that was all. There was a massive variety of ammunition available, pellets, darts, BB's nails, stones...anything that would fit into the barrel really 😇. Ditchman asked "what if the hole into the barrel was bigger?" I thought about that, there is a 1mm hole right through the barrel, if it were bigger there would be more swept air entering the breech to push the pellet forward, but would it still allow the pressure build up? There's no way back from doing that as there's no such thing as a "putting on drill" I wouldn't want to destroy one of mine BUT if anyone does give it a try, let me know how it goes please 😃

I think there should be a national Gat Gun competition 😃😃😃

Hi all, I have two of these hopelessly inaccurate little air pistols, both were flagging in power and one wouldn't even pop the pellet though the target so, bored one day, I took one to bits and as you can see from the photo, there is indeed a piston washer in there and the gun doesn't just chuck the pellet out. After a bit of inspection, it was reasonably obvious that this washer weren't a lot of cop and it needed a new one. A bit of research on the "net" and a phone call to Mark Knibbs turned up nothing, so I decided to make my own. The result was excellent 😊 I have a full 2ft Lbs hopelessly inaccurate gat gun to play with. if anyone has similar issues, don't throw the gun away, I am happy to make a few more of these washers for you to fit at home. Send me a PM and I'll see if I can help. H.

Keepers Diary DVD for sale in case, I think I watched it once 🤔 Oh, I don't know... £5 posted to a UK address? Kind regards, H

Hi all, I'm finding all kinds of "let's hang on to this, just in case" as I have a spring clean. I'm offering two hard beds, the pink one has a couple of minor battle scars from when our little Jack Russell took exception to me removing his bean bag bed, and dragged this bed around the kitchen in an absolute temper tantrum. ( Wouldn't have minded but this wasn't to be his bed.) The black one is unharmed. The beds were occupied by a small JR and a Lakeland Terrier. The dog Crates are in excellent condition. These were for the same dogs. I'd like £15 each for the crates and £5 each for the beds. I think we'll struggle to post these, so collection only please. Kind regards, Paul
