s410 barrel

[hunter2011 0]

hello everyone

i am new on here and was just wondering if anyone knows how to ensure your barrel is perfectly straight.

i own a air arms s410 classic and i noticed that it was slightly loose as i unscrewed the valve cap.

i have since tightened the allen bolts and got it straight by eye

any tips or advice would be great

 

cheers hunter2011

hi an wellcom to the forum,

i know fron the past when i have given mine a knock or its fallen over, that once you undo the allen screws they normaly spring to the right place and all is good but check your zero just to make sure it might need a few clicks to bring it back in or not as the case maybe

 

cheers

Two top tips onthis problem:

 

1/ Dont over tighten the barrel band allen bolts as what will happens is that they will screw right into the thread of the filling port cover and lock themselves tight!!

 

2/ Get a big piece of paper and draw a vertical line down the middle of it, put this up as a target 5m away and adjust the windage untill you are pellet on pellet on the line. Next, move the target out to 45m and shoot at the line again, it doesnt matter if the point of impact POI is lower, as all we are checking is whether the barrel is sitting in the same line as the scope. If it is your POI should be on the vertical line somewhere.

If it isnt I would undo the barrel band again, to let the barrel recentre itself, then carefully retighten the allen bolt.

 

The repeat the above steps.

 

I have had this happen to my s410 not long after getting it from brand new, it just seems that they dont tighten the barrel band up enough at the factory, then when you are unscrewing/screwing the filler cap back on it twists the barrel band lose and hey presto, shots all over the place.

 

Hope this helps you get your barrel back on track.

Personally i remove the `S484` `0` ring on my rifles . This is the `o` ring that gives the barrel its stability in the barrel band . I find that it will `float` quite happily and this also gives it a little room to allow for the odd `knock` here and there .

hi buddy

answer to your question is

 

take the barrel off and roll it on a flat service/glass table,if it wobbles its fooked!!

if it rolls even then its fine!
