Impulse Pin Snap!!

[Burb]

Ok can anyone give me advise on how to fix my impulse?
The pin some how has snapped off in the bolt, remaining perfectly tight attatched to the hammer.
I cant remove the hammer, as the pin is still in in the bolt.

Please refrain from saying "no your buggered" as that will only make me cry.

i can fix it

dude the pin is held in with a sprung ball bearing all you need to do is find an allen key that fits in the screw in the back of the bolt i cant remember what size it is though (i have been up since 4 this morning ) anyway undo the screw and let the spring and bearing come out then your broken pin will just fall out when u tip your gun upside down

hope that helps if you need a new pin let me know i will sort u out i have a few spare

pee gee

Nice one Peegee!
I still havent got it out, but i have removed the allen scrub screw, but i cant seem to see a spring
I have pushed the ball back, but the pin is still stuck fast.
Guess im going to have to keep trying.
Thanks again mate,
Rob

Ps. I wouldnt mind a pin if youve got a spare!!

How long have you had that marker? A month and a bit?
Have you guys got your sup'air field set up yet? You better get practising, you don't wanna get beat again!

Any way hope you get your marker fixed.

Later
Rob

Ive removed it

It took a long time of dry firing upside down, to dislodge it from the hammer i then managed to pull the hammer out and pushed the snapped pin through!! Nightmare.

Rob we set up our Sup'air on Sunday its great.

Very big, and all in working order.

I heard the word "Twisted" a few too many times though, trying to straighten the pipes out was a bit of a pain.

You'll have to come and train sometime.

The best thing u cud have done was 2 strip it the push it out with sum fing slightly smaller than the pin(smaller allen key?)than fire it in til it falls out but hey **** happens!it a titanium pin?it may have been crack tiny/micro crack in the pin.

I couldnt strip it because the pin was still attatched to the hammer!
It had snapped right at the bottom of the bolt, so i couldnt even lever it out.

See you on the 7th
