rossi_j 99 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Here's the problem I have, im not good with words so bear with me When I slide the bolt action forward then push down to engage or lock the bolt whatever you call it, there seems to be very little resistance holding the bolt handle down the slightest touch by the lamp battery cable ect wil nudge it into the loose position and when fired the bolt comes back resulting in a miss fire. It happend twice on friday. Can anyone kno if its posible to tighten this up and how to do it? Cheers .ste. Quote Link to post

rossi_j 99 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 mines the same i just put dab of gun grease on it an keep me eye on it Glad to kno its not just me then, im used to springers so once cocked and pellet in not mutch can happen before pulling the trigger, so a bit of grease helps you find, I wil try that altho it looks pretty greased up already from what I remember, Just got to get used to checking with thumb before squezeing on off. Thanks .ste. Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Mine has also allways been pretty loose from beeing brand new which can be a pain at times especially when i am carrying the gun over my shoulder with the sling,you will sharp get into the habbit of constantly checking it.

half n' half 8 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Here's the problem I have, im not good with words so bear with me When I slide the bolt action forward then push down to engage or lock the bolt whatever you call it, there seems to be very little resistance holding the bolt handle down the slightest touch by the lamp battery cable ect wil nudge it into the loose position and when fired the bolt comes back resulting in a miss fire. It happend twice on friday. Can anyone kno if its posible to tighten this up and how to do it? Cheers .ste. try putting a new oring on the bolt shaft or a thicker one if it still has one. this helps cusion the pushing forward of the bolt to action and also puts some tension on the bolt when locked down to help keep it in place.

Cheers .ste. hey hey i used to have the same problem with my S400,, but solved it by putting a very thin o-ring on the bolt probe once you have taken the bolt handel off,, it give it a bit of resistance an it never popped back up causing a miss fire,, i think the o-ring was 8mm ID by 1.5mm section ATB niel Quote Link to post

Buster321c 1,010 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 The AA part No is - S650 8mm X 1.25mm O RING As stated , its a common problem easily sorted by replacing , just cut the old one off and slide the new over the bolt . Quote Link to post
