Bolt Locking Lug (?) question

[TauntedZombs]

So I acquired a Sheridan KP2 recently and as I was using it, the locking lug kept breaking and I was wondering what the screw size or where I could find replacement parts for this particular item, because I’ve no clue where to look as I’ve exhausted online. Any help is greatly appreciated!

8-32 from memory.
Usually the aluminium of the bolt break before the steel threaded pin, you may want to cheek it ...

what do you mean about the second part? sorry, the sheridan gun still is a bit new to me, i appreciate any explanation you can give me!

check the female threads, where the pin screw into the bolt.
I have seen them go bad, hopefully they are good.

checked the bolt threads, they are in good condition, its just the lug and its wear.

Does the bolt move smoothly? That lug really shouldn't break.

[TauntedZombs]

gives a wee bit of resistance but id say its because of the spring being a bit tough, and the wear on the lug. whoever had it before i didnt really treat it so well it seems.

My friend had a hammer lug break on a Sheridan back in 93. And those are stainless. It happens.

I'd you can determine the threads just find a stainless steel screw with the same threads. Screw it in there and cut off the head. Otherwise you need to find a long set screw with those threads and find a way the thread it in from the top.

And maybe that's your best bet, drill thru the bolt with a slightly larger hole and re-tap it.

8-32 x 5/8" set screw is what you need. You may need to file it just a bit but that is what I use on all my cocking lug replacements
Make sure to get it in alloy steel instead of stainless.
