AA s200 magazine problem

[Gerard c.]

Hello ALL wise one,s finally bought a new Pcp rifle never owned one before alway,s had springer,s Being a Very much on The "Hobbit" size I got an s200 and also purchased a spare magazine. All has been well up until now. It would seem one mag does not index correctly jams up now and again also noticed a line being marked onto the magine going complete round them. I know the mag unit has an adjustment screw but before I strip rifle to adjust it (apparently it is underneath mag unit) I thought I would enquire as to wether there is another underlying problem.

All the screws are tight on the mag holder and it indexes ok with the other mag?

If it's the two part stock model then you can get access to the magazine adjuster screw very easily. The single piece stock types need the stock removing first.

Look at the magazine as you cycle the action; does it move when you close the bolt, either left or right? If it does, then the throw of the indexer needs to be adjusted, just turn the screw say half a turn and see what happens, you may have turned it the right way or the wrong way.

The "straight ahead" point can be rather vague and you may find that once you are set right, a quarter turn either way seems to make no difference.

The other issue can be wear in the U shaped slot that the spigot on the back of the magazine runs in. Once the plastic chassis has worn away it's a bin time but yours is a new rifle..

air arms mags are normally ok,but remove the o ring on the faulty one and see if the pellets poke through ok,and look back to back against the problem one there could be a scratch or ding preventing it indexing.

I can now confirm one mag works fine

As it now seems to be one mag at fault would it be worth cleanining it up with very fine wire wool or getting it replaced? should be under warranty not quite 6 months old,
