Omega falling block loose

7.62NATO · 10-25-2011, 04:52 PM

The falling block on my T/C Omega has become loose...i.e. the action will open if I shake the gun around a bit, and it takes little effort to open or (loosely) lock the action. I've removed the barreled action and it appears that whatever causes the friction and lockup is in the inner most part of the action (not visible from the outside). How is the action assembled/disassembled, and is this something I can fix myself? Is the action held together by punch pins? That is what it looks like. It feels like something needs to be "bent" back into place in order for it to lock up positively.

OK...I probably shouldn't say it has "become" loose. It was dropped about 4 feet from the bench down to the concrete the other day. Held zero though, but I just discovered the loose action.

I have done a couple of these... the first one was exploratory and took a bit of learning - the second was a lot easier...

Underclocked did a pictoral on how to fix this problem... see if you can get to it...

That is a better one...

No, VAHunter…not yet. After reviewing that link, it looks like this will be a very simple fix I just couldn’t find my punch set last night! I have been putting off an organization project for some time, and this is just catalyst I need to start it! I don’t have any brass punches though, so I am going to wrap the ends of my punches in electrical tape.
