Long story short I have stripped screws at the cocking arm that connects to the main spring tube. So after many weeks waiting for AF to call me back I finally ordered and received a new tube and screws. I am pretty handy and can probably figure it out but why not ask for help. I was wondering if anyone has any pics or advice on taking the spring tube assembly apart? I can get the tube out no problem but more concerned about the end of the tube with the 2 screws and small return spring. Or is it just a simple swap? Any help, advice or pics would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

I just changed mine out twice on my .510 Texan.. Its pretty straight foward for the most part.. I had to reset my sear after putting the tube back in my Texan.. I have to work on my Texan a good bit so getting pretty familiar with it.. I suck at tech.. If you have any problems you can PM and Ill give you my phone number..Ill help you out as much as possible.. Reed

Yes sir. I use that video every time I take it apart. It was a life saver. Just wish I listened closer to the part about stripping the screws. Expensive mistake but made a point and I won’t do it again. My main part of this question was about the innards of the tube. But it was an easy swap. But I did also have to replace the power wheel also as it got stuck. Many lessons learned.
