smoothfinish 26 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Aup lads it's been a long time since I last showed my face on THL hope all is well. Anyhow I'm having trouble with my R10 mk|| 177 ? The Rifle as been sat for the last few mouth but fancied a shoot today so last night got her out shot around 25 slugs to make sure she was firing on all cylinders ? everything was good so recharged her back to 190 bar as always?? so off I went first thing this morning 75 mile trip up the m180 got ready and set up saw a good opportunity at about 20 yards 1 shot fires 2 mills above target ? Young rabbit remains sat in the edge so I line up again going a dot under the target takes the shot ?? poof of air and that was it psi under 100 bar and to make matters worse Iv left the s510 at home so it was a long drive back in a shit mood ? filled her back up same again shoots 5-6 good rounds then drops and drops Any ideas what this could be? Or anyone had this issue? Bought the rifle new in December 14 2 Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm sure you will find someone competent to do your service. With recent work and horror stories about bodged guns I wouldn't be sending anything to them. Quote Link to post
reaper1064 285 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 XTX is your best bet mate, his work is great with a good customer service back up. 1 Quote Link to post
smoothfinish 26 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 If it's the rings will it be covered by warranty or is it wear and tear ? Quote Link to post
jeppi26 1,855 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It will be wear and tear mate your looking at £60/70 for a service or you could buy the seals and do it yourself. I have mine done by a gunsmith then I know it's getting done right 1 Quote Link to post

Not a position I want to be in the middle of and not on this forum. All I will say is having a mosey on various cricket And kalibrgun FB groups will make for interesting reading. Along with some Bullpup forums. IMO. How you can fit other people's ideas and parts to a rifle. Call it a "tune" and take credit is..? well.......?? Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't think the cricket did Phil any favours , but the r10 mike has is one bloody nice gun ,not just to look at ,but to shot as well , far better than my old r10 mk11 vc Quote Link to post

kilbs66 23 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yes he's talking about the RAT WORKS. I have two RAT WORKS rifles and they are excellent. I am just about to get another one in .25 calibre. Opinions are like arseholes we all have them and some of them stink, but we are all allowed one. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post
