Single Barrel Trap Cocking Hook

[Pittypatdugan]

When cleaning my SBT after shooting
3 rounds of trap, I noticed that about
40% of the right side of the hook had cleved
off. The gun still cocks but I would imagine
it will be putting twice the strain on the other side and it would fail. Where would I get another. I know the DelGrego firm does
the work but won't just sell the parts
Thanks in advance

You got me on that "cleved" business. Is is chipped or broken or something else?

[Pittypatdugan]

Yes on right side of the hook it's chipped..
I will post picture so all can see better the problem.

Thanks

I would think that it could be welded back to size and then filed to fit.

I am sending to gunsmith in East Ellijay
to see what he can do..if not repairable then I will know size and be on the hunt for another

Yes, the hook would likely continue to operate just fine for a time the way it is.

But it should be replaced as it is damaged.

If you need a replacement, contact me, I have several of them. They are the same as the ones used in the doubles and are the same within most all frame sizes.

Thanks so much
