After about 13,000 shots the index pin on my Red Wolf broke (<2 months old, .177, regular power, 1st gen board). I will need to wait till Monday to contact the folks I bought it from. Observed that after the last shot in any of my 10 shot magazines, that I could not always remove the magazine unless I slightly rotated the wheel. I also observed inconsistent accuracy issues. I dry fired and the pin just shot out, so it was broken underneath. I feel I could replace the pin myself, but previously trying to restore some lost power (30fps from new) I suspected it was an O-ring in the index pin area and tried to change it (I had already swapped out the breech o rings parts 18 and 19). In doing so I could feel the screws were in VERY tight and would strip if I applied more pressure so I backed off. I want the older style pin (if that is an option) because I have invested in 5 “old style magazines” and don’t want them to be obsolete. Assume that I deal with the dealer I bought the Red Wolf from but suspect it will need to be sent to the warranty dealer in the USA. This is a bummer cause not only the pandemic, but I’m recently handicapped and a large part of my day has been shooting….
