falcon fn12 help please

[cozzy]

hi guys just wondering if any of you technical bods can help me ive just aquired a fn 12 and ever so slightly the breech rocks from side to side on the cylinder is this normal if not could you tell me how to tighten it thanks

[Geordie]

Just nip the stockband bolt up a little

Might be easier to slacken it a tad, make sure all is central, then retighten - job done

Do you mean that the rifle's action rocks from side to side within the stock (if so, see Geordie's advice above) or do you mean that the breech block rocks from side to side relative to the cylinder?

[cozzy]

i mean the breech block moves relative to the cylinder

[Numb Nut]

There are 2 screws that could be slack:

1. Remove the scope mounts off the rifle.
2. Remove the bolt retaining screw and remove the bolt.
3. Remove the screw at the rear of the scope rail, under this is the rear breech/cylinder screw - tighten.
4. Remove the grub screw on top of the rail nearer the breech opening.
5. Extract the bolt housing tube from the breech block. Under this is the front breech/cylinder screw- tighten.

You need to remove the pellet probe,then remove the slotted grub/blanking screw,and the socket head grub screw that holds the pellet guide in place, from the top of the breech block.Under neath,in the bottom of the holes,you will see the breech fixing screws that will need to be tightened.
