Daystate Daystate huntsman mk2

[bennyhill]

Hi everyone
Could anyone help me please I have just got myself a huntsman mk2 and I was wondering if the part I have a ring around can be changed for less finger damage at all

Sorry for the wording I don't know best way of saying it .

Those are similar to the early Mk1 cocking handles. Might have been an aftermarket one or maybe an early MKII, although later MKIs had the swan neck handle.

You might be able to find a BAM51 handle or you could drill and tap it and insert a threaded handle. What’s the rest of the gun look like?

Thank you for the information. I have know idea about this at all would you know where I could get a replacement to at all ??

eBay Uk, BAM51 parts gun or drill it for a handle. Daystate doesn't sell spares.

This is what my AA TM100s looks like with it drilled out for a handle.

Does yours have a Gold trigger guard like this one?

Get a threaded handle. Like so. Then take it to a Smith or machinist and have them fit it like the image above.

Try contacting Bagnall & Kirkwood Spares

They may be able to set you in the right direction for the bolt handle.
Hope this helps

Huntsman Mk2 I bought new in’96 , still have it. This is the cocking handle on mine.
Great find and still the one I measure the accuracy of newer rifles against. Mine is in .22.
I think it was called a crane cocking lever.

If I remember properly there were a few variations of this, one was single shot, one was magazine fed . They also had one with a thumb hole stock.

Not from Daystate. You could fit a grav mag. How is the cocking knob attached? Is there a grub screw on it?

Those are really nice guns. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the newer stuff but the build quality is unmatched and they’ll stack pellets all day long. What cal is yours?

No grub screw mine is a 1.77 and it's really good on shots to air as well I love mine

You think it is epoxied on?

 

[bennyhill]

Does anyone know if there is a magazine of sort that I can get for the mk2 or if there is a 3d printed 1

As stated previously a Gravmag might work. Personally I’d leave it be, it’s a single shot airgun. All the multi shot adapters I’ve come across tend to be fidgety and inconsistent.

Havent seen anyone mention you should have a spring and ball bearing for the detent adjustment. Might well be goopy/worn.
Keep in mind it is similar (very, but!) to the LR90 and a couple of others. All of which came with both version cocking lugs, round (yours) and "swan neck", the parts diagrams will show this.
"I believe" (old memories) one the earlier models the pellet probe was hollow so whe closed air blow into the bottom of pellet probe then 90 dgree turn and behind the pellet. Then a change to a pin style probe (better for Crosman #2) . I am thinking for some reason your must have the correct bolt-not the hollow tube model- for the swan neck (Like on a Bam50 and maybe Mike Melick has one?) to fit. Maybe.
I have used the one you have, way back, wasnt bad cocking at all. Maybe just clean and polish and adjust detent?
Do keep us posted.

And have to agree don't bother with a clip, designed and succeeded as a single shot. Be happy.
Does yours have this trigger?
