shootingmike Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi, I was shooting my escort the other week when the spring clip went, a common problem apparently. It's the clip thing that holds the action bars to the black tube that sits under the piston. One of the lugs snapped off. To make matters worse, the groove it sits on the black tube in has a crack almost half the way round so that'll need replacing too. A local RFD can get the parts, hopefully not too expensive. Has anyone replaced this clip because looking at it, I reckon it'll be a swine to get on? Any tips appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I payed about £38 for the complete unit ....... Give Edgar Brothers a call for the correct price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) just recently done mine mike. just the clip was broken on mine. i rang edgar brothers and they said the clip could not be bought on its own. i bought the complete part but had to get through my rfd as they don't supply public direct. i thought it was going to be expensive. i paid £13.95 the clip is an absoloute pig to get on. just buy the full lot. it look like this[ps edgar z2 is the part no.] Edited September 25, 2012 by aga man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingmike Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks chaps. Didnt realise you could buy the sleeve with the clip already attached. They told me the sleeve was about 33 quid. To be fair, it seems to depend who you get on the day. Some are really helpful, some aren't. I think I'll price up the full assembly with the action bars already attached. It might save a bit of swearing getting the bars attached!!

mr williamson Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have replaced on before and its a pain in the A.R.S.E. Hard to doit without bendind the clip and loosing abit of tension. I gave mine to my local gunny and got it sorted cheap as chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
