    How do I tighten my s200 cylinder?

    Just wondering if there's a nack to tightening the cylinder into a s200. Mine is finger tight and I wanted to nip it up a little, but I can't get anything like a boa between the barrel and the cylinder.

    Is there any easy way?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Why does it need to tighter? Mine was finger tight when I received it, and not had any problems or any need to tighten it further. Finger tight seems to work fine in order to compress (but not squash) the seal.

    Shouldn't need to but you can use a pin punch located in one or the holes in the brass tube ends. If it's because the tube feels wobbly when finger tight you can make a very thin plastic washer to fit between the tube and block which cures it

    The plastic washer seems like a good solution to any slight wobble, maybe that was what the OP had in mind.

    Alternatively just use a small sheet of rubber on non slip material to grip on to the cylinder
    Works a treat on March airpostols & their small cylinders
