England V Germany

[si brown 8,486]

this is just because of the hw quality issues, I'm not saying ones better.. but is the british is just as bad!!

my mates has had a prosport for about 4 months now and to say i wasn't to impressed when he first got it was an understatement !!

my mates not one for fettling stuff but he knows I'm always at it... so after us having a swap round a couple of weeks ago he passed it over to me and said

can you sort it!!

the first stage of the trigger sticks and docent release when cocked and theres no real second stage a fart would set it off!!

the cocking mech sounds like its been used in a desert.... the twang was fcuking shocking!!!

best of british!! i think not and the photos coming up will verify this

 

ready for dissection

fist impression.. its blathered on grease, it docent look as bad in pic

second the piston is bone dry and the p rings are rough as

 

the threading on the transfer port housing is off and this has resulted in this

the buttons on the opposite side are non existent!! now this has not gone unnoticed because there are obvious tool marks but its been sent out!

and yeah there was swarf floating about!

so i did my bits and bats and put it back together, its way smoother now but the power is a 1 lb down on pre strip due to the compression tube now being centre and needing new t/p o rings cos the old ones are all splattered

 

all sortable but this is supposed to be the british bench mark!!! wtf

So you've had your PS apart and found it like this?

 

Is it secondhand? To be fair Si, I'm rather surprised about those internals.

its 4 months old rez and bought new ... the grease is fresh and it had not been opened up so its not blag sale!

i text my mate to ask him if it was new cos the t/p seals were MASHED up

its been used for a few hunting sessions and i mean a few and maybe a bit plinking !

im gonna fit a couple of new o rings and give airarms a call and see if they will send me some new buttons up, it'll be under guarantee still but they'll just say its void now cos its been opened up

I'm gutted for my mate cos its a right mess and a bloody expensive spinger

If i did not know better i would of say,d its not new looks like a second hand rifle that they have sold as new

 

or could be its stood in the factory to long and in the rfd,s to long and the grease has dry,d up hence the damage to the piston and the internals

 

it seems all the manufactures are going through this quality control badness

 

But then again in my opinion I DO THINK ITS A SECOND HAND RIFLE THAT HAS BEEN SOLD AS NEW

 

ILL GET THAT SENT OFF TOMORROW MORNING FIRST THING SI

quite possibly Renos... theres not a single mark on it externally though!

all i know is one of three tings will happen

1 he'll get his money back

2 he'll get a new one

3 he'll get locked up for battering the bloke at the shop

I'm betting on 3

Like so many other things, we are taken for granted in the UK. We complain as if we was to blame. Not Saying do it. Just Saying Number Three Sound GOOD.
