Title: Broken locking block
Post by: Upfold99 on May 16, 2022, 08:45:05 AM
Took my gun apart for cleaning after season. Noticed the locking block was cracked all the way through. Its a tristar viper g2. Anybody else has locking block issues on the turkish guns. A internet search shows its fairly common, but I never found any upgraded parts. Will contact manufacture today.

Looks like it's not uncommon. See attached.

Yes, I found that as well.

Spoke to manufacture today. They are sending out replacement part. Hopefully its a one time thing.

I ran into this same problem with a CZ semiautomatic, 28 gauge. Joker will NOT shoot Estate shotgun shells. Broke it 2 different times, they sent me the parts pretty quickly. The 3rd time was a charm,  no more problems.

Have a good one
