An Achille’s Heel

Post by PeeWeeDaddy »

I thought my IZH46M was tough.
Not!
This past Friday night as I was starting my practice at our monthly 10M match the cocking linkage on the 46M broke.
I cannot get the parts and if it cannot be welded I will probably part it out.
The grips are worth $350.00+..

Just get a good gunsmith to mill that broken part with reinforced steel and you're back in business.

Or a machinist will do. More common than good gunsmiths.
