So if you saw my horribly misplaced post, you would know I have a problem with the priming rod on a raider. That problem being I broke it, BUT I took the advice from one of the people that commented on my post and made one out of an old marshmallow roasting stick. The only problem is that it isn't straight. The gun can't prime properly. SO, my question is:

Does anybody know of any methods or (inexpensive/common) tools that can solve my problem?


Also, this is my second post. EVER. So if I messed anything up, I would appreciate if you tell me.

Pliers. A vice is helpful but you need a whole setup and table for that. Two pairs of good strong pliers work well. Also can use the sidewalk or something, step on one end of the rod and bend it with the pliers too.

You could blowtorch it and then bend it to make it easier, but for the thickness of the rod you're probably better off just using the pliers.

You could just step on one end and use a hammer on the other... A bit crude but that's how I fixed my raider

I have a f*ed up Raider that's only good for parts. The previous owner broke the pump grip off, but the priming rod is still in good shape.
If you want, I could tear the priming rod out (actually disassemble it) and mail it to you for a small amount (to cover postage).
