Bent Cocking Tube

[grifter95]

I did a bad thing today and bent the cocking tube today in the area that slides into the reciever. It's bent bad enough the inner tube will not slide all the way back. Any suggestions on a fix? Or does anyone know where I can get another cocking tube from? Thanks!

Depending on how it is bent, you may be able to tap (lots of lubricating oil) a tapered punch into the tube to round it out. You also may try talking to a gunsmith to see if a 410 barrel ding remover may work.

If you have to replace it, try sarco at www.sarcoinc.com as they usually have some used ones. May not be advertised, so you need to call. Nice folks there.

Check out gear shanty's <a href="http://www.gearshanty.com/shooting-1.htm">website<a/> . He sells CETME parts including the part you need.

Update. I ended up ordering a new cocking tube(trunnion, reciever scrap) from Gear Shanty. It came in yesterday and I took my time removing the reciever scrap. Everything came off great and its ready to install and weld.

That Gear Shanty has some good stuff at what looks like good prices, thanks for the info.

Glad to hear you're back on track, Grifter95.
