I am looking for a place to buy parts for this gun. I think it may have been dropped and now the magazine tube is bent just enough to make the ram stick and difficult to remove and replace. It is almost unuseable as it is, even after I lubricated it. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Use a wooden dowel that will just fit the magazine tube to drive out the dent. Remove the tube from the gun before doing this.

OK, I can do that. The other issue is that there is a small split on the feed end of the tube (opposite the reciever). It doesn't appear to be having any effect on the functionality, the magazine still locks in place and all. Is there anything I can do about that, or just be careful with it? Thanks for the quick response.

New magazine tubes are availale from Gun Parts Corp. on the internet for not much money. If the split is a problem I would replace the tube. Or you could have the tube welded. All kinds of choices!
