Mr.C Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Dear PW I have one of the above, bought for a pittance from my club, that I use for prone shooting. I've been getting the occasional click, lift the bolt and re-cock and it fires the round. The striker runs the length of the bolt with the bolt handle cam operating on the end of a long lug on the striker. I've cleaned crud out of the assembly but have noticed that either several mm has worn off the cocking lug or someone has "eased" it for smoother cocking. Question Can anything be added to the end of the cocking lug on the striker to return it to it's original shape? This would mean the striker would be further tensioned against its spring giving a better strike and also allow the safety lever on the back of the bolt to function. Recon its about 3 or 4mm shy as it stands. Thanks Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diss4111 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 can you not move the trigger assembly? On my Anschutz I had the same issue and I moved the trigger back a couple of mm. It cured the problem and now gives very hard strikes and every shot goes off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'll check, not sure if thats possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just to illustrate, can I get the flat end of the cocking lug on the striker built up or will it distort it. Welding is not my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Just incase anyone else has light strikes using Eley ammunition try RWS. Not had a single misfire since changing. Thanks Fultons for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
