Anyone know of a US source for IZH 46M parts? Specifically need parts 11 and 51. I saw the sight blade listed on ebay, but can't find the transfer bar anywhere.

Thanks!

They are being imported again by Air Venturi. I'd check with them.

If #51 is just broken, maybe it can be welded. Seamaster on this board had his snap and reported that a welder fixed his.

Are you the guy that also let TPG clunk his new 200 around in his video?

Yup, although that 200 was actually his. I've got a local guy who offered to weld it. Gonna get it over to him sometime in the next couple weeks. He can machine a new one if welding fails.

As I understand it, that part can crack or bend. The first clue is that it doesn't go over center to latch properly, especially if the piston stroke has been altered for more velocity. TPG looked like he brought it back all the way, but it didn't go over center. It could have been already damaged at that point that it violently opened.

I have the lowly non magnum version. It isn't as prone to breakage.

Ah, well, in fairness, I hadn't cocked the pistol in probably a year. I only brought it in to show some new shooters. My guess is the piston seal was a little dry, caused some extra friction, he got a little excited, and boom. Not a big deal. I'll get it squared away.

That is a weakness in the design. The college team I help coach had two out of about a dozen that broke that link. Fortunately, I could get parts back then, including the pivot pins that get swaged to hold stuff together.
