f.a.c air rifle spring

[ian118118 10]

my uncle asked me to put this up on here since he doesnt have internet...

 

where is a good website to get a high powered spring for an air rifle so it goes above 12 ft. also how do u loosen a trigger cos his air rifle trigger is hard to pull and there isnt a screw near it to adjust.

I take it he has an FAC and the appropriate slot for it?

What airgun is it? Trigger mechs vary massively and there's no one answer for all of em!

 

The vast majority of 12ft/lb airguns are designed to run at 12ft/lb and no more, most springers will only go to 15ft/lb tops and most will become very hold sensitive at that. I'm also not sure how he'll come off legally doing the work himself and adding the rifle to his FAC. PCP is the best bet for FAC power.

Hi mate.

Exactly what it says on the tin! Springers obviously move when they're fired, and the way in which they move is effected by the way you hold them. My BSA Lightning is very sensitive indeed, If you hold it just resting in your arms, it will do one hole groups at 20 yards, if you hold it tight, the groups open up to 2 inches! Higher powered springers are worse for it, presumably due to the violence of the action. Webley Patriots are supposed to be really sensitive.

Effectively, the recoil on a springer starts even before the pellet starts to move in the barrel, because of the masses like piston and spring moving forward in order to compress the air in the cylinder to get the pellet up to speed. So if you hold the gun tight it will not move as much as if you hold it lose. One way of getting good consistency, is to just rest the fore end on your hand without actually gripping it. That way the gun will move in the same way at every shot. Zero to that and you are sorted.
