THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 4/5, 2024.........BOING!!
Rather than make a new thread I thought I'd just bring this one back to life!
I decided not to send the rifle away for the time being and looked inside the rifle again.i had not checked before so dont know if they were there before or not but you can see marks from the transfer port on the piston.
Am I right in thinking that there should definitely NOT be any marks on the seal and this a definite sign of slamming?
I have ordered a new oz custom piston seal and a new breach seal as well so fingers crossed this remedies things.
BSA SUPERSPORT .22
Ripley ar5s .177
Steyr challenge hft 177 SYWELL FT CLUB
I'm just about to fit an oz piston seal after changing the breach seal which made no difference.
Fingers crossed because if this doesn't fix it I'm all out of ideas!!
Sorry for the double post,I've just changed the seal and it's no different and I've also noticed(and I didny notice this with the hw seal)that my computer tube isn't pushing right up against right up against the barrel assembly(for want of a better description!).this must be causing a bad seal but does anyone have any idea what's causing this to happen???
I bought 2 weirauchs at the same time from two different shops and they were both utter crap.i did not know how bad the 97 was until just a few weeks ago,I just thought I was a crap shot and the fella in the shop let me think that as well even though he shot it and must have known it was a banger.my hw100 was absolute garbage from the start as well and had to be sent back 4 different times and probably should have gave that back but it is spot on now.i would never ever buy another hw because of my experiences.
The comp tube moves back and forth about 1-2mm but you cant see the gap so I'll record it and send it to you so you can see how much it moves.i put some talcum powder over the comp tube and fired it and talc blew all over but not sure if that was vibration from the twang lol.thanks for replying!
The breach seal was original but I've changed it and it was exactly the same but now you mention the cocking link pivot it makes a clicking sound when you cock it and I thought it was down to the latch rod jot being central but I soon realised it was that making the click and if you watch it you can see it jump a bit and at the same time it clicks.its a cheap part and had no idea it could be so detrimental to its operation or would have replaced it.
