I would reccommend getting a long, slender bolt and nut combo and just drill out a hole to feed it through.

i have never seen a bolt that skinny tho. i have a small hollow metal tube thats skinny but not skinny enough.

You could try epoxying the rod in place. Otherwise, I'd see if I could find a slightly longer rod to run it through the sides of the slide.

where would i buy a longer rod... the closest thing ive seen to that rod is a little wooden dowell rod.

If you drill holes in the sides of the cocking mechanism (where the rod would be), you can go to your local hardware store (bring the spring that pulls the rod forward, and the gray cocking handle), and search through their bolts/nails/screws/nuts bins to find one that's long and thin enough to fit through the cocking handle.

Then just insert, screw the nut on, and you're done.

Just use a small nail. Try to find one about the size of the metal rod, and a little longer.

Nail the one end through the end that the plastic broke and through the other side. You may want to then cut the pointy end off (or grind it off).
