S410 BARREL CHANGE HELP !!!

[19powell90 89]

hi lads thanks to unfortunate events my sling decided to slip of the clips on my s410 and my rifle crashed to floor whilst cushioning the blow with my foot the barrel still hit the floor and slightly bent the end

 

now after adjusting my scope (proping the back mount up with cloth) i am back on zero with no accuracy change (lucky)

 

but i dont want to have a rifle with a bent barrel so i am just wondering if anyone knows how to change an s410 barrel and is it an easy job?

 

i am going to ring gun shop on tuesday and check prices with them also.

 

i know i can get a barrel for around £100 so fitting it my self will save me some cash

 

 

thanks for any help

Is it definatly bent ??

 

 

using my mates account!

 

 

 

yeah. its bent at the very tip where the barrel goes thinner to incorperate a silencer.

 

i have tried my mates scope which is identical on it to check its not the scope and it does exactly the same thing and my scope so i know its not the scope.

IS it anti tamper ?

Its not too hard a job , but with the AT fitted might be a pain .

hi Scott

before you go and buy another barrel,take the bent? one off and roll it on a glass table.to see if is actually bent! after all that's why the barrel band is there for!!

 

PS

if you need to know how to take it off,check out my you tube chanel and you will see how its done

or contact me or bustie!!

always here to help!

hey lads after my last post i thought i would give it a try and carefully try and bend my barrel tip back up.

 

after doing this i was able to take the cloth from the rear of my scope ( put it back to normal) and try zeroing.

 

luckily my zero is back on with incredibly good groupings (better than before) lol this was at 22m

 

so tomorrow i will give it a ago at my zero range 35yards at my permission and see how its goes.

 

all seems well for now and barrel seems to be straighter

 

will let you know tomorrow and if not its just a simple barrel change.

 

 

thanks lads for info
