Looking for owner experience with the Snowpeak PP20 10 meter pistol
- Thread starter steve-l
- Start date
Same issue , here are the steps I used :
1 Remove grip from receiver
2 On the exposed side ( left side as viewed from shooter perspective ) look for a spring pushing up on a catch
3 Spring is sized like a ball point pen click sping
4 remove sping, catch will now pivot up and down freely
5 reattach receiver to grip
Note : pistol safety is now NON-FUNCTIONAL

This is the part that failed. There is a pin that protrudes off the part that is held by the screw. My pin fell out.
A made a new pin, put it back together and am in business

I just bought a second PP20 that was listed as parts only. On disassembly I found that the bolt has a pin on the underside that contacts the hammer to cock it when the cocking arm is fully raised. This pin was set too deep and therefore not engaging the hammer but riding up over it jamming the bolt. I took the pistol completely apart, set this pin to proper depth and put it all back together. Now it also shoots.

I also made a new pin and replaced the spring. yes ,it now works. The pin only has to contact cocking lever- part 6. It is part 50 on the diagram. Superglued the pin into the hole on part 51. I wonder how many others had pins that fell out ?

Thanks for these simple solutions to this problem. I too had pin 50 disappear into the ether, and could not figure out why the pistol would not fire. All fixed now with a new pin built and crazy glued into the safety lever, thanks to the foregoing content.

Good to know about this problem! I need to take a look at these to let Snowpeak know how they need to improve this pin fitting.
