Naustroms 92 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 One recoil too many it seems. Bolts sheared off and separated the barrel from the stock. Maimed the damn bird and had to send the dog out to retrieve so I could dispatch it by hand. Suppose I'm now in the market for a proper gun. Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,360 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I've heard about this happening on air rifles with a harsh recoil. Don't get disheartened, you've been happy with it up 'till now. If there's no other damage, buy some quality stock bolts and, maybe, lay some innertube rubber between the stock and action to dampen the effect. Don't give up Atb. Quote Link to post
Naustroms 92 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'll call in and see if the manufacturer wants to make it right. Otherwise ill have to drill the broken bolt and replace with some quality hardware. From what I've gathered a lot of the screws and such are Chinese made. Quote Link to post
