Armex Avenger 10 shot / Kub / Sidewinder

[Thomo 0]

Hi All, I recently purchased an Armex Avenger, very pleased with the overall quality as it shares the same action as the Prestige Kub range but I have had a problem with the pellet cassette indexing.

 

The indexing arm which revolves the cassette works correctly but occasionally misses the cam on the outer edge of the cassette and fails to turn it.

 

It seems that the problem is a small amount of lateral play in the indexing arm which allows it to move away from the cassette. I think if this was lightly sprung the problem would be solved.

 

The rifle has gone back to Armex to be sorted (they have been very helpful to date) but I was wondering if anyone else had come across the same problem maybe with a Kub or Webley Sidewinder?

 

Any comments welcome!

My mate has bought a webley venom sidewinder and it uses the same system and is virtually the same gun. The indexing is awefull on those guns he loves the gun but the pellets keep falling out the mag or it wont index properly. He is going to trade it asap!! They really need to sort that problem out!!

Thanks for the info. I haven't had any problems with the pellets falling out, if anything some are a squeeze to get in! I had a call from Armex today and the problem has hopefully been resolved. I was told that a fixing (I guess a screw/bolt) had worked loose allowing the indexing arm to flex away from the cassette.

 

Credit to the guys I have dealt with at Armex they have been very polite, helpful and quick to resolve the problem. Also got a free service and hassle free delivery back to me. Dissapointing that the gun had to go away but I've got mates who have spent £1100 on a Daystate only for it to play up.

 

Thanks again.
