Killed hundreds of rats with my 2100 in Asia.It was a good gun
Yes, a little over 600 rats A Polish friend of mine bought it from me after its years of good service.Being a bit of a machinist, he tweaked the trigger, modified the probe, and installed a suppressor.It particularly liked the Philippine made Eaglehead and Hammerhead pellets, and no, we have no power restrictions over there.I still have photos of it with a Surefire Z2 flashlight mounted to its scope, but I could not seem to access PHOTOBUCKET anymore

Never had any trouble removing pump pivot roll pins.Now, installation....THAT is another story!I set myself up a Grizzly 1 ton bench arbor press with a fixture to hold the pump tube/rifle in the proper position to press the roll pin back in... I had to machine the tooling.It is still a work in progress, but getting better.I do a bunch of them.............
A press fixture sounds like the cat's meow to get these roll pins done... I've had a bit of roll pin experience prior, but I haven't done a bunch of 2100's. I did find that squeezing roll pins with some pliers to tighten them up a little bit, does help with reinstallation. They're pretty tough to squeeze though. I was able to hammer in my roll pins for the 2100 with no real issues. Removal also was pretty straightforward, having roll pin punches really helps with that. If I find myself having to remove the pins often, I'm going to want either a fixture such as what you have, or another pin solution that isn't so inconvenient to remove each time I need to get in there. Sounds like you're pretty much a roll pin pro!Turby
