FX Impact STX .25 upgrades

To me, the hammer pin looks different. Also here they say it's "This is the newest version with upgraded replaceable hammerpin.".

FX USA just emailed me: The MKII cocking block is not very different from the original cocking block. Its primary difference is the size of the pin that connects the cocking lever linkage to the rest of the block. In the original block, the pin was 1.5 mm in diameter and the new MKII is 2.5 mm in diameter. This was changed because of some damages that customers were causing to their rifles."

So, the cocking lever linkage must be different also, with a 2.5 mm pin hole?

Yes. I need to replace it: $13.23

I'm getting mine this week, but in the meanwhile, I just drilled the hole bigger. By the way, the pin in the old block was 2 mm, and 2.5 mm in the new one.

How are you going to replace the lever linkage? The pin (green arrow in the pic) connecting it to the reloading lever is pressed very tight in the hole.

I think I am going to do like you did. I don't want to run the risk of removing that pin and have it loose.
