The handle on my Picasso has a hard plastic pin securing the shooting mech in place; being subject to pulling forces when loaded, with time and being plastic, the pin is deforming and I fear at some point it will snap I see this as a potentially dangerous & armful scenario and would like to replace the pin with a stainless steel one of good grade How could one be made or where could I find one that fits? Thank you |

I had one fall out in a dive recently on my RA. I had to find a distributor to get one ordered in for me. The original RA pin I lost was stainless already, but I'm sure you could order in a stainless one for the Picasso from another model. They're all probably the same size. You could probably make one fairly easily. But they are only a few bucks to order in, and saves your time dicking around trying to find a bit of metal the right size. Even without the pin though, I was still able to load twin 16's and shoot no worries. So I'm not to sure if there is much stress put on them anyway, I just had to make sure it didn't fall out after firing. |
