    Daysate Servicing

    Have a Daystate Mk4 (non "TV" screen model !!). Could do with a service. Has started scattering shots on a target even when bench rested.
    Aware only certain places, apart from Daystate, where they can service these guns. Would appreciate contact info for a company located "up north". Nearer Co. Durham the better of course who could carry out a service.
    What is the likely cost ???.

    Thanks
    Regards
    Al.

    It's all relative; to me, Darlington is many hours South.

    It’s a trek, but Pickering Guns would do it

    Livelines in Armadale is the most local to us up in Aberdeen/shire I think .

    Try cleaning the barrel with a pull through a lot of people recommend this when you start to lose accuracy. Might save you the time and money. 👍🏻

    Chrono the rifle-if its consistent then look at the barrel / probe alignment and if a silencer or aftermarket muzzle is fitted, check that pellet clipping is not the issue.
    Check probe seals-these can fail with age / use / leaving the gun stored with the bolt closed (which I never do on a PCP).
    Dave Brayford at SCR is the go-to-guy these days, although I am sure your local dedicated air rifle club will have someone handy as a member.
    Never go off half cocked....

    Another vote from me for Dave @SCR, he's a top bloke and did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price when my Mk3 needed servicing.

    Daystate Mk4

    Thanks for the helpful responses. Much appreciated.
    The gun is 0.20 calibre. Will the probe O-ring be calibre specific or will the probe O-ring for 0.22 calibre fit.

    O-rings readily available on bay.

    Thanks

    Thumbs down Daystate Mk4

    Fitted a new probe O-ring. No better.
    Worse still when I tried to fill it up it began leaking air at around 150 Barg. Appears to be coming from a point where barrel meets the action. Loses pressure quite quickly.

    Thought I would take it to Customguns at Hartlepool. However it would appear that he stopped accepting work in September. Showing "permanently closed" on internet.

    Anyone any further thoughts or is it a hefty bill coming my way.

    Thanks

    sounds like your harper valve seal may be knackered, the harper valve is a doddle to work on as its an open design, if seal was inconsistent that may also explain the scattering of shots, did you check the Map to find a premier partner near you?
