Well guys I got the Vortek piston seal installed on my 34 and OH BOY what a difference. Shot about 25 pellets through her and she's like brand new. The only thing that went wrong is I lost the C clip that holds in the cocking arm pin, does anyone know what size they are? I'd like to get one locally if possible.

This is the grease I bought it looks like it will be just fine. I paid $13.24 with tax and it should last me forever LOL.

I'd just go an E clip assortment from Amazon for $6. You'll have it Monday. If you really want I'll pop mine out and measure it when I get home

I forgot there was a clip when I disassembled the rifle, I just drove the pin out, I hope I didn't hurt anything.

I would have just removed the barrel and arm as an assembly. I've never disconnected the arm from the block. I can see the clip you're referring to in the parts diagram though. You probably didn't damage anything. The force from tapping it out probably just unseated it from a groove in the pin.

Thanks guys, man I was so excited the rifle is so quiet and smooth cocking now,then I saw the cocking lever pin moving, I wish I could buy the correct one locally without having to order one online.

Think about it this way. Those clips are easy to lose and quite a few guns use them. If you buy an assortment now you will thank yourself later. No matter how careful you are, you will send on into the stratosphere again eventually

Hopefully I won't have to take the rifle apart again for a long time, I've owned it for 23 years and this is the first time I've ever replaced any internal parts, in another 23 years I'll be 79 years old and probably won't care one way or another LOL

I don't recall anything shooting out, but obviously it must have and I know it's laying within 18 feet of me as I type this and it might as well be on the moon LOL

Fair enough. You could probably just pop that pin back out and go to the hardware store find one that snaps into place on itHopefully I won't have to take the rifle apart again for a long time, I've owned it for 23 years and this is the first time I've ever replaced any internal parts, in another 23 years I'll be 79 years old and probably won't care one way or another LOL

Should work fine. I use the Valvoline red grease but thats for no other reason than I had it on hand from work. Just don’t go crazy with it and gunk up the whole spring. A light coat is fine.

I've looked all over the Umarex website and I see no place to order RWS parts?

Well I just ordered a whole box of metric C clips, they should be here this afternoon/evening I assume the pin is metric and the clip dia. apprears to be either 4 or 5 mm, the box I ordered runs the gammot so I know it will have one that fits.
