gas ram tracker

[degster 1]

hi there has any body had any experience of a webley tacker 177 fitted with a gas ram .Ive recently bought one in good overall condition however when ive fitted a new telescopic sight ive found accuracy to be inconsistent eg 3 pellets on target then 4 flyers ,all shots taken from a cushioned rest at 20 yards. At first i thought iit could be the scope so i tried the scope off my hw95k which i know to be spot on. Same result 3 or 4 perfect shots followed by a load of flyers i know to solve this its a case of eliminating all possibillities so im guna start by cleaning the barrell if that dont sort it its got to be the piston seal there the only things i can think off however i know absolutely nowt about gas rams so if any body has some advice id be gratefull to hear it.

is the loading tap working correctly.check for any movement.are the pellets your using seating correctly is it damaging the skirt when you close the tap...cover the tap with a slight coat of silicone grease then try.

has it got a silencer fitted is that loose?

do you want to sell it..

Hi, mate, that's my old Tracker ain't it?

 

The piston seal's fine on that gun and the taps are never a perfect seal on any tap loading gun ever but it's well within limits on that one.

 

Go to a dive shop and get some pure silicon grease (as said), take the tap out and give it a light coating. That always helps. Don't use moly or lithium grease on the tap, they'll ignite under pressure, silicon won't

 

I never had the problem that you're suffering from with it. What pellets are you useing? I found the AA's that I gave you with the gun to work very well. Make sure all the stock scews are properly tight. Have you fitted a mod to it?

 

If you want to talk to me about it just drop me a PM if you've not got my number anymore.

 

Cheers.
