Turkish Tempests

[Abasmajor]

Thanks again Brian. I will start out with the seller, they are a 'hands on' gun shop that do repairs so I'm hoping to get it sorted quickly, otherwise from Highland. Rather worrying that the seal can fragment so quickly. I'm confident that my loading up was text book. It's not possible to press the entire circumference of the skirt into the barrel, the lower section protrudes a tiny amount on account that the upper part is pressed flush with the barrel. It will not go in any further using finger pressure alone; the RWS Superdome pellet is too snug fit. The instructions do not mention the need to use any more force (or blunt object) which could potentially distort the skirt.

Hello,

There is possibly some variation in manufacturing standards with these pistols as I found I needed to seat the pellets using a pellet seater on the first .22 pistol, but have found pellets of differing makes seat easily using only thumb pressure on the one just purchased. As stated in the earlier post, the breech seal seating arrangement also seems to be much better with this pistol.

Hope things get sorted soon and I would be interested in hearing how you get on with the replacement seal.

I will let you know if anything untoward develops with either of my own pistols.

Regards

Brian
