hi

 

well on a break barrel where you break it it has a screw on the barrel just wanted to no what it does,

 

thanks

[Phantom 631]

Do you mean like this?

hi Phantom

yh thats it buddy

[Phantom 631]

Ah great, now I know what you mean I can explain

 

After a while; usually many years a break barrel may become loose with wear and tear.

The rifle barrel unit may also droop slightly for the same reason.

 

The big screw, will allow you to tighten the joint again and it will also put the barrel back into correct alignment.

The little screw at the side of that, is there just to prevent the main screw comming loose again.

 

Hope that explains it for you Steve?
