Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 hi Simon. The anti tamper is locked in place and would have no effect on the problem at all. It sounds to me like the reg and hammer tention have not been set properly, and its dumping air, because the firing valve is staying open for to long. Proberbly due to the hammer spring being too heavy. Its a fine balance between the two to get the optimum performance from the rifle. Im no expert mind you But what I will say is, I would rather send the rifle to A&M than Hull cartridge. At least with Adi, you know you will be getting a finly tuned rifle back, that has been done proffessionaly. £130 very well invested. Just my thoughts. Bill. Edit to say, this would also explain the low shot count AND the inconsistancy Quote Link to post

ATB Dom Hi Dom. The very nature of the repair could have some bearing on your problem. There could be some small particules of swarf kicking about inside the valve?? If you do have a play with the hammer spring, go no more than a third of a turn at a time mate. Bill. Quote Link to post

Catcher 1 639 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I had a problem yesterday with my aa510.Had the sites bang on at 35 yards.But every four of five shots it would shoot about six" top right.Iam assuming it was down to the scope as the laser was set at 20 yards and bang on every time.Scope hasent been used for a few years.Waiting on 30mm mounts coming this week for the new scpoe.

Hi Catcher. You went for the TAC 30 didnt you?, very nice too mate. I had a look at one, but they only come with the half mill dot ret I think? My poor old eyes wouldnt cope with that, so I went back to the sidewinder 3o SR6. At least I can see that one ATB. Bil. Quote Link to post
