WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!

 

hi every one

as some of you may know i got my AAS410K .22 back the week end,and was keen to get out and chrono it & zero it!

 

but let me tell you where i made my first mistake! that led to a strip down in the field.

i have one of those mag holders which you wrap around your stock,i did have it on the .22 but when that went away to be serviced i switch it over too the .177 (first!! mistake!)

 

so im all keen and getting ready to take both rifles out .177 & .22 but i had a small distraction my brother came around to fix my PC and that took a while,and im itching to get out !

 

finally i get out load the mags up i slip the .22 mags in there stock pouch! and load the other 2 mags fill both rifles to 160bar and get my target out to zero all done now.all i have to do is relax and control my breathing and start to zero, so i picked up the .22 ? got the mags out loaded in to the breach cocked it and went to push it forward.and thought

i only put the .22 in the .177

so now i have a real problem !!

 

 

so i did not touch it for about 10 minutes till i calmed down,now i know it would not go into the barrel because of head size PHEW!! so of with the scope,of with the stock,of with the indexing plate,of with the barrel.and there it was PHEW!!

 

i took it out and put it all back together and its still holding a good group!! @ 30yds

 

so lesson learned here always check your mag before loading it into the breech if you shoot both calibers! so hopefully peeps will see this and think twice if they take both Cal's out in to the field.

 

in bits

 

 

 

and here you can see where i had to pull it out,PHEW!!!

 

 

here you can see how far the head went into the barrel.when i pushed the bolt home i knew something was up,and stopped straight away

 

 

so lets hope peeps will learn from my mistake!

be gentle with your replies

 

regards

very true mate, dont think too many would post that. i bet your not the first thats happend to on here. i couldnt type fast enough when i saw the advert, i even forgot to say i'll have it and just typed you have PM. nearly missed it.

[xraiderx 94]

Easly done i suppose the first thing i whould do now is colour code my mags with a little blob of paint say red 22 blue 177

ps your not colour blind are you

[andyz 30]

So Davy you are human after all!!! I imagine it's very easily done, a blob of nail varnish sounds like a good idea!! You must be able to get your hands on some of that...

 

Glad no damage was done, hopefully a lesson learnt by all.

sounds like the sort of thing that would happen to me.we all make mistakes,but it all ended well so as you say lesson learned.glad there was no damage done to your rifle.fair play for admitting your mistake as you say i wonder how many would admit to being human.all the best

[stealthy1 3,964]

Dont you just love these trips that go tits up, especially when your looking forward to going out

[silentshot1 206]

Luckily I only have a .22 with a mag! Otherwise I would have done that by now!

 

Davy, I got the red filter through this morning. Is it heat retardant? I will fit it over a cardboard ring otherwise to stop it melting as the night searcher lamp heats up to quite a temperature!

 

I can imagine how f%$ked off you must have been at first. If it helps, you could always send the .22 to me. That way you'll never find yourself doing that again! Anything to help!

 

Cheers

[slingshot82 32]

Haha, i can imagine how you felt buddy. At least you had all the tools out in the field with you. Is there anything you dont take with you? lol

[migmog 1]

Well at least you managed to deal with it yourself, in the field aswell. Now that tells me you know your guns witch is my down fall, iv never taken one apart yet and wouldnt have the first idea how. Iv got a strip down dvd for the s410 .22 but not sure if its possible because of these anti tamper what every they are thingy majiggys So if you have any tips for me davey i would appreatiate them .

[Marksman 934]

Nightmare Davy!!

 

I'm actually surprised the .22 actually went in that far!

Should have took step by step photos then you could have shown your own stripdown/rebuild

 

Pleased it's done no damage though mate!
