Springer repeater or single shot? Military style, Umarex Colt M4? Gamo?

[Michael Lewis]

Mine is shooting fine after several months and several tins of pellet Max.

I'd be interested in where the single screw and sleeve you mention are located, just so I can keep an eye on them and maybe add some loctite?

Kind regards,

John

Remove the pistol grip - screw in bottom of grip, then you will see the large screw that connects plastic bit to the metal bits of the gun.

Thank you Michael - much appreciated.

Thanks again Michael and to Max for highlighting this potential issue with the M4.

My screw was loose and it seems as though only a few threads engage, so a dab of loctite on the thread should keep the screw from undoing itself.

A very useful heads up.

John, not got any pics have you - be interested to see it partially stripped/naked?

So do you think the quotes I posted are non-founded as long as this is checked?

I'd like one but a .22 would be better, I wonder if it's possible...

Hi Max,

I didn't take any pics when I undid the screws but it was a simple task. Only time will tell if the potential problem is unfounded but once the loctite has dried, I'm sure it will be fine.

Mine was loose!
It isnt now.

No signs of plastic cracking.

Thanks John, just need to find someone selling one now.

I recently got the m4, power wise it’s great, just accuracy with the open sights ,it’s shooting way high at 25yards, does everyone put some sort of sight on, red dot, acog style?

Try raising the foresight, which is a threaded screw held in place by a spring loaded plunger. It should come up.

I'm an open sight fan but bearing in mind the straight line layout of the M4, an optic sits at around the same height as an open sight, so I've opted for an ACOG type sight on mine.


By the way, Max - there were M4s for sale at the last Kempton fair (next is on 24 March) or try Protek - they got one in for me last year.
