I've got a email in to them now since they are closed today I'll try on Monday buy the way the super glue is working I don't know for how long but I put a tooth back in my plate and it's been their for 2 years so far great stuff that super glue, can't say that about plastic I miss metal You never know if someone out their has a shadow that can be used for parts it's a good bet that the barrel might fit

the 2 ears on the barrel that have a link that makes the spring compress

Here is a pic of the ears and the glue / refasten with 6/32 screw

: Are those ears plastic???

And in ANY event, it sure looks like a warranty issue - unless you've had it torn apart and replaced the spring with something stiffer...

The cat is on the way to Gano lets see if they will do anything for me they will not sell any parts I asked about buying a barrel and was told to send back the rifle and they would take care of it well we will see what happens . I don't like the fact you can't get parts without sending the rifle back for them to do the repair .

: So - are those ears plastic?
: vinceb November 26, 2007, 11:36:52 AM

I'm really curious about that...

BTW - I know that the Crosman Quest series is not built as well as the Gamo - but they WILL sell you a barrel assembly for $15. Or, in a case like this, they'd probably send you the part for free.

We have the same problem with scuba gear if you are not a certified tec. for the brand of dive equiptment you can't buy parts even dive shops that have a tec for say us diver can't get parts for sherwood equiptment unless their tec is certified by sherwood .  Maby Gamo is looking for the service labor and not parts sales it kind of lock's you to them I'll let you know how this work out.It will take a while befor I get the rifle back or here from Gamo.
