Skan AR service

[jamesf]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has a strip /set up guide for the Skan AR or services them. Cheers James

Nothing really to service on them, Once you set your shuttle to your fav pellet then thats about it as it only has 2 0-rings.
One for the bottle and one on the hammer pip. Both are in the center when you look down inside where the bottle goes.
Bottle wise is when its buggered its buggered, New bottle and valve are around £180.00.
Mick the Logunator can help but he is still banned. Try the AGF for him. Col.

Thanks for that Col.
I’ve had the gun 5 years and only tried to put a shot through it back then ( without much success).
If you have some info on how to set it up for different pellets that would be a great start.
Cheers James

Fire it first in a safe manner just in case it has a pellet in the barrel to make sure air is getting through then Try and find a pellet that its already set up for,
Usually set to Field target trophy or crosman premier. Little allen adjustment screws on the shuttle change the pellet lengths for feeding,
If your holding air then thats the main thing, For the seals,,, Look down inside the rifle and you should see the little center hammer pip. The hammer hits the little pip that in turn hits the bottle valve, You will have to dry fire the rifle with no bottle and the pip will come out if you ever need to change that little seal, The other larger seal you can see is just to seal the bottle. Very simple in design. Just the pellet shuttles that looks a bit daunting but easily doable by the owner.
Someone once said when you stop chopping pellets in half then you have nearly cracked it.
They didnt come with instructions, Just an A4 sheet of paper with a diagram of which way to put the hammer pip in and to fill to 180bar. Will have a copy somewhere.
Tried selling a few in my collection in the past couple of months with no takers but plenty swap offers. Col.

I've always wanted one, amazed they didn't sell colin i thought your prices are always fair you ask. Think folk are put off thinking they are more complex than they really are, can't be looks that put folk off if you look at some of the Meccano rifles that are selling well at the moment.

Time of year with Xmas weeks away and not as much money in the kitty as there used to be, Most people have children and other priorities to think about spending their hard earned money on instead of themselves, Rifles have been in the gunroom for donkey's years and don't bother me if they move or not but you do get to the stage when you want to buy something new then somethings have to go.. Especially when a decent new rifle can cost a grand or two these days, Not like the old days when you could get a top of the range full hunting kit for well under £100.00. Now £100. will only get you a few weeks supply of ammo. Col.
