I ordered parts and did a rebuild including re-bluing.Gave a 5 pumps loaded a 177 pellet and aimed it at a can and fired. The loading gate blew apart sending it into my left arm, cutting as it bounced off across the patio. I had put a dab of oil behind the pellet which I think was a mistake. My question is does any one know where I can order another loading gate. I heard of someone replacing the plastic gate with a brass one. I've still got a Red Rider bb gun from when I was a kid along time ago...I am 76 years, Vietnam Veteran. I wish I still had the bb gun pistol that shot #8 bird shot. Never seen or heard of one, since I was about 10 or 12 years old. Any hoo.. I would really appreciate it if there is someone who can help me find another loading gate.
