Wingman Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Afternoon All I had the good fortune to spend this morning at the local clay ground and managed to shoot a good 150 odd clays with my MK70. As always the gun was faultless unlike my shooting. Whilst cleaning it I noticed a very small amount of play (about 1mm) on one of the pins at the rear of the action, see the picture below the pin in question in marked in red: Not overly concerned about it as the gun works perfectly but I was wondering if anyone can tell me what it is and whether the tiny amount of play needs to be looked into. Cheers All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Tap in out slightly from the other side - minute drop of superglue or thread lock and tap it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gordon, not entirely sure about using superglue on this gun though, is that the right way to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers All That pin is the cocking lever pin - on my Browning it had a set screw to hold it tight. You could only see it after removing the stock. On the left side if I remember correctly. (Not sure if the MK70 is the same setup but assume so.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 on my armsan A612 a pin would move if i fired it a lot,so as said taped it out a bit, super glue on it done the trick, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Set screw sounds logical, not sure I have time to fix it tonight before tomorrows outing on the pigeons though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think the gun has had it . I will give you a tenner for it and come and pick it up . harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Sounds like a fairly simple diy job assuming the set screw can be accessed just by removing the stock. Has anyone had to do this on their gun? Any pointers as to the process and tools needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 There should be a Allan headed locking grub screw , just above the cross pin on the left side of the action . Easy to see when the stock is off . DO not try superglue or locktite . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks Gunman. Will whip the stock off and take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickh Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yes I had this issue years ago on a Miroku 6000 and as stated above the problem was a loose locking screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
