   Does the gun have dovetails cut into it? Can't quite see. Otherwise looks like there were bolts probably tapped into the action that have sheared off. You would have to remove those from both rail and action and if the threads are still ok, you could simply replace them and use some loctite. Your biggest thing would be to watch, will be the other end of the screw/bolt extending into the compression tube, as they may obstruct the piston or spring as they move.

	I got round to reassembling the Gamo hunter I have been restoring. I had noticed that the previous owner has epoxied the scope rail on to the compression tube. It was hard to miss the globs of epoxy on the sides of the tube, which I cleaned up, but as it looked secure I left it alone. After about 5 test shots the bloody thing fell off Question is how to repair it?
