Replacement String Latch for Man Kung Alligator Crossbows MK-TCS1 & MK-TCS2
Appearance and Construction
The string latch is a precisely moulded component, black in colour, and made from a highly durable, hardened polymer. Its design is engineered for maximum strength and a long service life. It consists of several functional parts:
- Catch Hook: A solid, hook-shaped section that directly catches and holds the bowstring under full tension.
- Body with Pivot Hole: The central part with a precise hole is used to secure the component inside the crossbow body with a pin.
- Lever Arm: The longer arm that interacts with the rest of the trigger assembly.
A Key Component for Accurate Shooting
Function of the String Latch
This part is the heart of the trigger. When you cock the crossbow, the string clicks securely into the hook of this latch. It holds the string firmly in place against the tremendous force of the limb. The moment you pull the trigger, the mechanism releases this latch, which instantly pivots down, allowing the string to surge forward without resistance and fire the bolt. The proper function and unworn condition of this component are fundamental to the safety and accuracy of every shot.
Designed for Man Kung Alligator Models
This spare part is 100% compatible with the following Man Kung pistol crossbow models:
- Man Kung MK-TCS1BK Alligator
- Man Kung MK-TCS2BK Alligator
Installation and Maintenance
How to Replace It
Replacement requires basic technical skill and caution. You will need to partially disassemble the crossbow's body to gain access to the trigger mechanism. Then, simply push out the retaining pin, remove the old, worn latch, and replace it with the new one. Ensure the part is seated correctly and pivots freely on the pin.
Safety First!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never perform maintenance on a loaded or cocked crossbow! Always ensure the crossbow is completely un-cocked before handling the trigger mechanism. Improper installation can lead to mechanism failure, an accidental discharge, and serious injury. If you are unsure about the procedure, entrust the replacement to a professional.
How to Care for the Part
Keep the entire trigger mechanism clean and dry. Prevent the ingress of debris such as dust, sand, or wax residue from the string. For optimal function, it is not necessary to specifically lubricate this part – excess lubricant could attract dirt and cause a malfunction.
