S200 power increase ?

[Blackbriar 8,569]

Okay..........I'm up at the club today and someone produces a chrony, so I decide to test my s200 - something I've never bothered to do before. I use AA Diabolo, and they shoot accurately and consistently, BUT I was surprised to find out that it's only pushing out at an average of 10.1 ft/lb !!

So........

1. Can the power be increased without doing anything 'a bit suspect' ?

2. How is it done ?

3. Is it someone of average competence could do themselves ?

4. What would be the merits of gaining an extra ft/lb - and a bit, if any ?

 

If it makes any difference, I think I'm right in saying it's a MK3 (one piece stock) and .22..........and I'm not prepared to interfere with anti-tamper devices, obviously !

 

Cheers chaps !

I've got an inkling that general advice will be along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it !"

I’ve got one of these at the moment and tbo it’s my favourite little gun 177 or 22 they are brilliant there’s a couple of things that you can do without removal of the anti tamper new hammer spring , polish the sears and on the action there  is a little grube screwe sitting just in front but at the middle ( between barrel and cylinder ports ) of the cocking lever is the power increase ‘ this one You can adjust as the T200 used to come with a twisty screw as it is a target (T) and won’t take it over the limit

I was going to take my T200 from 6fpe to sub 12 by adjusting the screw / nut on the side of the action but in all honesty it would only move a very small amount. The rfd advised that it needed some parts which is over my head so I just decided that I will sell it instead. Must get round to doing that.

Mine is the split stock version and the screw can be seen in the first photo. Superb little gun.

 

 

I do not know if an adjustment screw is on the later versions with a one piece stock.

Without getting the gun out............I believe there is. I'll have a look later.

In the interests of research, I ran a few Bisley Mags through it yesterday and the poundage dropped to 9.4 which is only a bit more than my Ratcatcher ! When I brought the target in, it looked like a shotgun pattern - disappointing performance really.

What sort of power increase would that give...........roughly ?

just make sure the chrono is with you when you tweak it, but if yours is the AA version there will be the remains of a shear plug covering it
