  1. Webley Xocet Advice Needed!!!

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    Right then. Firstly sorry for the late reply, Brian. My head was in no state for a proper response before, I seem to keep on forgetting that I'm not twenty one anymore. :laugh::icon_redface:

     

    Unless someone's fitted something daft to it then the spring shouldn't be under too much pre-load. About thirty to fourty mm is all that you should have to cope with. Here's a link that may help when you're stripping it. There's a small allan screw that needs to be taken out that holds the trigger spring. This needs to be removed before you release the spring. https://www.gunspares.co.uk/products/24558/Xocet/. As for gas rams.....

     

    To be honest I've just deleated a load of what I was going to say as it will be a whole lot easier to just talk to you. I'll PM you my number and you can give me a shout any evening.

     

    Cheers, mate.

    Andy.

     

    Just a few shandy's then :bad::laugh:. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me Andy, your a gent :thumbs: The gun still has its original spring so it should be no problem then. PM received I'll give you a shout soon.

     

    Thanks again.

    Great wee read that stealthy, nice bit of shooting too. 80 quid worth of trousers so far this year for me :bad::laugh:

     

    Know what you mean, they should make them with Kevlar crutch patches sewn in, or do they just know we're going to rip the knackers out of them and buy more :laugh: My second pair this year :D

    It's always the one's I think to myself " I'll get oor that nae bother " then you here that old familiar sound bar-sterward lol!

    Hi guys,

    I was thinking of giving my Webley Xocet a face lift as I have injured my knee and I'm unable to get out shooting at the moment :( . The only problem is I've never worked on an rifle before :icon_redface:. I was thinking of fitting a gas-ram and maybe a new sound moderator :hmm:. Is it easy to fit these gas-rams? I've had browse for info and I haven't really found anything of use. I understand their is a danger when opening the rifle up. I was thinking of making myself a home-made spring decompresser or is this need as I'm quite a big lad who likes his weights. I'm just looking for a bit of advice really and wondering if any you guys have had success with this rifle?

     

    Being stuck in this house is driving me round the bend :wallbash:.

     

    Cheers Brian

    Er as regards Air Arms pellets, you get loads of deformed ones in a in so do not worry it too much.

     

    Now the all over the place shots swapping between brands, some barrels like about 20-30 pellets through after an ammo change to relead the barrel! So some of the error could be because you have not shot enough pellets through too!

     

    Thanks mole that's great. I've learned some thing new :thumbs:

    Hi Guys,

    Well here it goes. I took the rifle out for a stroll yesterday. As I had just got some new pellets and fancied doing a bit of comparing. It wasn't the best of days yesterday quite clammy and their was a bit of a wind. Anyway I set up a target at 30 yards, Just an old bit of cardboard and drew round a 10 pence piece. So I took five shots with each brand. The .22 Air Arms Field Diabolo were up first. First shot hit just above the target, second shot was bang on the money. Then it all just went down hill. I noticed that I had damaged some of the skirts on the air arms and will certainly never put my pellets in a pouch again. Next I used the new brand which I had seen a lot of guys rave about .22 Bisley Magnum. I noticed these were quite a hefty pellet. So I gave them a bash and they went all over the place. Very hard hitting but no accuracy, Well for me anyway :icon_redface:. I tried both brands again at 25 yards and I pretty much got the same result. Which pretty much soured my day out :bad:

     

    So guys this got me thinking? Was this due to my bad shooting? Damaged pellets? Pellet weight? An off day? A dirty barrel? :hmm:I mean last week I was in fine form. Happy with my grouping, Taking a nice woody for tea and a few nest robbers. I'm really getting confused?

     

    Both brands have been washed in warm soapy water to get rid of lead the lead particles. No lube has been used as I don't know much about it. I read it was bad for spring rifles as it would cause dieseling and lead to a damaged barrel ??? Would lube even help? What do you guys use?

     

    Any suggestions on a pellet brand or weight of pellet I should be using? Rifle being used Webley Xocet XS .22.

     

    Many thanks in advance guys :thumbs:

     

    Cheers Brian
