think thats what its called, the rod that goes from the ram to the back block..

so i always noticed my back block goes a bit to the side.. (left when holding to shot) never paid much attention.. then yesterday i was cleanng and took the bolt and cocking rod off and noticed that it goes to the left quite a bit.. and when i push it to line up its moving the rest of the arm even where it goes into the ram.. i figure this cant be good...

well?

oh yeah.. and its not that the arm is spun wrong.. the manufacatured bend in it blew the feed nexk is in the right position to go tight and parrele with the body

ummmm i guess you can take a hammer and line it up back into shape

***D_Smalls*** · July 23rd, 05:32 PM

tahts what i was thinking.. put it in vice grips and bend it back.. hmm then i have to take it off the ram.. ive never done that before.. do you just unthread it from that bigger piece

isnt it supose to have a bend in it

**sumsimpleracer** · July 23rd, 05:44 PM

i'm not sure if its supposed to have a bend in it, i've never taken apart my cocker, so i havent really checked if mine bends

**CoolHipJim56** · July 23rd, 05:53 PM

It is supposed to have a bend in it, but the way he is explaining it, it sounds like there is another bend/an over bend in the bend that is supposed to be there. Just bend it back to the proper place so your backblock isn’t crocked, that should fix it.

**sumsimpleracer** · July 23rd, 06:16 PM

i just looked at my gun and yea it has a bend

***D_Smalls*** · July 23rd, 06:20 PM

ill see if i can take a pic to show how the back block is over

***D_Smalls*** · July 23rd, 06:36 PM

alright.. notice in the yellow box that the hole for the bolt in the back block doesnt match up with the hole for the bolt in the reciever..

then the red line is the edge of black block and hte blue is the edge of the reciever, so it is significantly bent it seems..... like say your following it from the ram.. it bends once towards the reciver then it just bend again to make it parralle to the reciever.. im thinkgin it was over bent and is now past being parrelle...

**sumsimpleracer** · July 23rd, 07:09 PM

wow....mayb u should try str8n it with a hammer

**Cerebeus** · July 23rd, 10:57 PM

Mine is like that too...but put the bolt in and it should line up fine

***D_Smalls*** · July 23rd, 11:17 PM

i dont think its fine though.. its take the paint off the end of the reciever and when i have to move it to fit the bolt it.. it like moves the whole arm, and where it goes into the ram.. that cant be too good for it

**CoolHipJim56** · July 23rd, 11:50 PM

Mine looks like that too, I dont let it bother me, and it doesnt seem to affect the proformace any. I just let it be, it straightens out when you put the cocking rod/ bolt in.

**sumsimpleracer** · July 24th, 12:01 AM

wait the bolt isnt in??? hmm let me check mine.......nope i took out the bolt and the cocking rod and the block is completely parallel

***D_Smalls*** · July 24th, 12:12 AM

hmmm still.. its concerning me...

**Kuby** · July 24th, 12:27 AM

take the back block off

then spin the pump arm 180 or so degrees then put the back block back on

because there is supose to be a bend near the front of the arm. it needs to bend closer to the body

your might be bending away from the body

hope that helps

is your ram pointing straight out? because the pump rod is supposed to be bent

**chronic** · July 24th, 12:56 AM

Hmmmm I think it should be like that.. If not turn the pump arm half a turn or so and if that doesnt work... pliers and a vice!

***NYY*** · July 24th, 12:58 AM

yea mine is a little to the left, but its unclear in the pic if its that much

**sumsimpleracer** · July 24th, 01:10 AM

Becuz mines new, my backblock doesnt move to the left.
