Tuning Help - One of the pins (and c-clip) gone from my Diana 460 Magnum

[bltefft]

I was shooting today and my 460 magnum will no longer cock. I grab the lever, pull it down and it refuses to cock.

I took the stock off and can see the problem, but don't know the name of the pin that is missing. I guess the c-clip somehow came off and that allowed the pin to fall out. It's the pin nearest the bear trap thing you press down when you want to return the cocking lever to the front.

Here's a picture. The pin I still have is the one I labeled "A". I stuck a nail through where the missing pin used to be - it is labelled "B". I thought about taking my dremel and just cutting off the nail and be done with it, but don't know of a way to secure the nail, so it won't just fall out again..

Does anyone know what the pins are called and who do I call/email to get another one, along with its c-clip

Thanks,

Bobby

Here's a better view of where the missing pin should be:

And here's the pin and clip that are present

I'd say contact Umarex directly and see if the part is available from them.

Thanks, I just sent them an email.

Well, looks like if I can't find the pin and c-clip somewhere, I'm going to take my torch, heat the nail, and put a 90 degree bend in it so it won't come out by itself.

Get a little bolt that will fit through the hole,put a washer over it drill a small hole through the bolt and put a carter pin through it.

Now, there's a good idea. Reckon I take the 460 to Fastenal to find a little bolt.

If you look around a bit you can probably find an actual pin for this application. My local Ace hardware store has several drawers of such pins and a search might turn up what you need. If you have a Fastenal you can access then I bet they would have it or can get it. The bolt approach might not work because of clearances but if it does work then that is good.

How about some roll pins from harbor fraud?

I'm gonna leave the stock off and take it to Fastenal tomorrow.

Not sure they could stand the strain of cocking the 460 Magnum.

Hopefully all is well. I called Umarex, told him what I needed (parts #36 and #37). They're sending me a set. Should be here in 7-10 days. Oh, and I remembered that what I had called a "C-Clip", actually, is called an "E-Clip"

Here's the schematic I found showing the pin and e-clip I'm missing. They're kind of in the middle of the picture.

If you have a hobby shop by you that sells remote control cars and trucks, they will have the parts you need to fix that and you can have it ready to rock today.

Thanks for that tip, never thought of that.

Got a set of replacement pins and e-clips from Umarex. Shoot it three times and place on the bolt where the pin attaches broke. It's just one thing after another with this gun!
