Gamo Whisper .22 Barrel Pivot Bolt

Like a few others on here I have read about, the Torx head on my barrel pivot bolt is stripped. Before I drill and use easy-outs to remove, does anyone know where to purchase a replacement bolt? I have already tried forcing other bits into the head but they just keep stripping out. Thanks

Gamo uses a chemical locking compound on that bolt. From what I'm told, it's difficult to remove even if you heat it with a torch. If you've stripped it out, I think you're SOL. I haven't heard of anywhere to buy a bolt. You might have to send it to Gamo to be repaired.
I had the problem with the barrel dropping and moving after lock-up on my .177 Whisper and ended up returning the rifle because it was still under the return policy, but I hadn't stripped out the barrel pivot bolt trying to tighten or remove it. I tried, but stopped before stripping it.

Thanks for the info, at least that's a good reason why it won't come out. Maybe when I get really bored I will go ahead and drill and tap a new one.

I have decided the head stripped bolt will have to be replaced, does anyone know the bolt specs (diameter, thread length, thread pitch, shoulder length)? I would like to put a new one in as soon as I remove the old one. Thanks

I've never checked but I suppose it is possible that a pivot bolt from Crosman Quest or some other Crosman break models might fit.
Never checked to see how many different part numbers Crosman has for the bolt on different guns. Most would have metric threads but not sure of the shoulder fit though. It would be interesting to know and if one does work, would sure make life a little easier for some as far as replacement goes.
Might be worth someone checking the possibilities out.

I tried to order one from
www.gunspares.co.uk/
but they are currently out of stock
, so I messaged them asking if they knew the specs of the bolt. If no one comes up with the specs by the weekend I should be able to post my results (if enough of the bolt survives to be measured).

Gunspares responded saying they do not know the specs of the bolt but they are waiting on a shipment of them to come in. I will wait till they are available and purchase one before I remove mine. Doesn't anyone here have a Gamo Whisper that they can remove the barrel bolt and post the specs? Thanks
