Ouch!!! FYI, that lever is steel. An aluminum one will have to much beefier. Just curious, did you chamber and throat your barrel for the bullets? Tom
The design of the rainstorm parts are originally for .22 they seem to hold on fine with the standard power .357 I don't think thay did any testing with the power you are playing with, so You can't really blame them.the .45 and .50 only come on the new platform and the sidelever looks totally different.Anyway, there's always growing pains when going into uncharted territory
My new Evanix .357 Sniper will be here tomorrow. :-) I did as Manny said and did the 10 for 10. Must of been good because it was shipped. I see they are already out of stock on them and when I talked to them they had gotten 40 of them in. WOW So looking forward to getting mine filled and to the range.
That would make sense. Even though new ones continue to be sold, the Blizzards were a generation or two behind the Rainstorms in Evanix manufacturing - so maybe the blizzard family would tend to have the older lever as well (just speculating).
Pyramyd told me they have been shipping levers made with stronger materials for some months now, so they are on it and probably the production guns have been made with the new levers for a bit now.certain things you only learn with time
That's the way to go, fix things for new guns but don't provide improved spares for old ones. I feel much better about Evanix now.
rkr, you're in in the UK? Your local distributors/importers don't make parts available? I hear the PA has some parts in the states, maybe you can get them that way.Tom
