sanmarcopizza 3 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi, I recently bought a used .22 SE and have probably put 200 pellets through it. I have noticed that when I get to loading the 9th pellet that the bolt often jams and I have to wiggle the magazine or manually rotate the "pellet wheel" while pushing the bolt to get the pellet in. On examining the magazine yesterday I observed that the spring that rotates the "pellet wheel" seems very week in its unloaded state and I am wondering whether this is not fully lining up the action on the last couple of pellets. I have tried to search the web but haven't found anything yet, but I'm sure someone on here will have an idea. If I strip the mag down to clean and live it, should I attempt to make the spring more positive? Cheers San Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 if you got it from new i would send it back to bsa they will swop it for a new on or recondition it the spring in one of mine is weeker than my r10 mags but its 100% fine so could be something else ??? Quote Link to post
Ads 39 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I wouldn't bother sending it back to bsa pal. My scorpion was the same (I'm sure it's the same mag) I just took the magazine apart, it's only one screw, and just wind the spring another turn and put it back together. You'll see what I mean when you open it up. It's easy enough and mines always been fine since! Adam Quote Link to post
sanmarcopizza 3 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks guys. I did exactly what you suggested Adam and did a test on a full mag and it was smooth and crisp. Job done :-) Quote Link to post
