Diana 46 cocking arm

[Frank]

Shooting my Diana 46 today and the cocking arm broke. The arm is a narrowed down where it pivots under the barrel is where it snapped. It is made of cast medal, not machined.
It slapped my wrist and that did hurt for a time, do have a bit of a bruise.
Just wonder if anyone else had an event like this.  Will be looking for parts now.

WOW! yes I've heard of this happening to a guy with a 460mag a few yrs ago and it and the 46 are basicly the same rifle. that leads me to believe Diana has some faulty design problem or just some bad castings going on from time to time!
