AR177 588 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Prior to the THL meet i thought i should dust off the air ranger and have a practice.. there is no way i could just turn up and wing it with such experienced shooters arround ... and i dont want to come last either! So... I have just been having a quick 20yrd shoot with the daystate making sure everything is in good working order, putting a little lead through her as she hasnt come out of her slip in a month.... all was going very well.. until... I got to the 6th or 7th round in the mag .. all of a sudden my tight grouping became a tight grouping with a flyer and inch to the right and low, the shot sounded funny, much louder than usual and it was way off .. i put this down to me and carried on .. then another and another all grouping right and low ... also the noise had suddenly increased quite dramatically.. also the cocking had become very rough not like it usually is.. now i realised it was not my shaky shooting at fault i was thinking 'oh common not now you tempromental piece of ' i need you in the next few days! otherwise ill have to go to the meet with a half sanded, unsilenced, unzeroed S10 ! and everyone thinking 'who's this cowboy?!' After looking at it for a while .. i have found the problem.. Ive only gone and shot the breech seal through the barrel and out into the wide blue yonder no seal and all the air pisses back out when you shoot instead of down the barrel If this is a sign of things to come.. Off to the gunshop now to get a replacement ATB Adam Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 what grouping did you get with the breech seal? Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 My huntsman had to have a replaced probe ring after it was not the best and air coming back out..replaced it with tougher o rings that the guys on doc recommended me, from online..I had ten for a couple of quid ,better than the factory ones..although paying that much for the gun you'd expect them standard on the daystates lol awwell..hope all goes to plan Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hi all just back from the gunshop, 45p for the O ring so i bought a cupple just incase - everything is sorted now back to the groupings i like to see Mole - ill put pics up from when i was shooting and a grouping i shot before it went ATB Adam Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Here you go Mole, This is the grouping before it went (the middle one) and after it blew you can see how far off it was. And after i got the ring it went straight back to shooting right. Its not a great challenge to shoot at 20yrds but it was more just getting back into the flow of it. All sorted now ATB Adam Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 But which hole did the O ring make? Glad you got it fixed! It is annoying when things like that happen. Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 On the first target you can see where the o ring hit, right down the bottom in the middle haha Quote Link to post
