And so it happens, it strikes twice.

Well, I set up the 10 Meter CAPOF target, had the safety glasses and ear muffs on, loaded the pellet and began shooting.  Then began to notice something.  A distinct wobble in the bolt handle of my 1740 Air Pistol.  Yes, I do believe the bolt has to be replaced in the darned thing.    Of course, I had been down this road before, right after I got it -

Do you need an OEM .177 bolt and handle or do you got it covered?

Probably gonna think about it for a few days, but since I had taken the bolt handle off one of my 1377 carbines, I may just invest in some [ better Stainless ] bolt/handles from Mellon since I never replaced the handle on the 1377 carbine.

Okay, but keep me posted if you get desperate for a replacement.
