Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Was in my main match gun for about 6 or 7 years. Not really upset or anything got my moneys worth. certainly glad it broke at a local not the upcoming EOT. Mostly just wondering if I am unique in breaking one. BTW I have been called unique for a lot of other reasons in the past! or was that special? Regards Gateway Kid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using that concept as a strategy for years. Surely the great and powerful Widder wouldn’t tell a tall tale?

Sedalia Dave Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Check the hole in the frame and see how much play the firing pin extension has. Excessive play could cause it to break like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 That's about the only thing that hasn't broke on my 73's.. Have to have 3-4 rifles just like 97's when I shot them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just machine weight out the stock ones or make my own I have one of this kind as well. Mine is hollow on the bottom as well though not as wide a cut as yours. I like the lighter ones but now having broken one they become one more thing my OCD will require me to frequently check.
