Trail NP XL new barrel

(1/6) > >>

twh731:
I have purchased a new barrel for my Benjamin NP XL1100.  The original barrel rifling seems to be not as sharp as I would think it should be and I was doing a tune on the rifle anyway so thought "what the heck, while I got things in pieces".  Crosman had a new barrel for less than $20 so while I was ording parts I bought one.  I have the tune completed except for final reassembly.  I installed the barrel shroud and the pivot sleeve and lock-up assembly.  What I am having trouble with is the pin which holds the cocking arm and sling swivel onto the barrel block.  I haven't tried "beating" on it but have whacked it pretty good with a pin punch and small hammer.  It appears to only go in / out one way as one side is inset and flush with the barrel block and the other appears to have a dimple in it such as maybe a rivet would have.  It is a pretty stout pin not some cheap rivet.  Should I continue to try to force it out with a hammer or should I drill it out and then try to find someway to install it on the new barrel.  If I drill it out then how would I hold the cocking arm onto the new barrel assembly?  Everything was going so smoothly until this one little pin!!!!  Thanks for any help.  Tom

here is a picture of the pin I'm talking about.

I forget which AG it was but I ran into the same problem, the one I was working on had a circlip holding the pin in. The clip was hidden in the middle of the pin between the 2 halves of the cocking linkage..... luckily I found the clip before I found a BFH.

Just watch the new Barrel and be Careful for a bit there TWH.I changed the barrel on my Trail to .25 then to .177 and both barrrel's shot fine for about 15-20 shots then Misfired on the next and Broke the sear multiple times. These guns tolerances aren't the Best so I thought I'd let you know.

Some had great success with their .25 cal conversion's (and .22's),,but I had No luck.Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks
