pestbry Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks for helping mine is a 22 I would have change bolt and more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Okay, I can't help with the barrel. But, on the subject of broken swivels, having had this far too often for my liking I replaced all my swivels with Brute EZ swivels and have NEVER had one break again.

rodp Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can't have too many tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Can't have too many hammers, or black finger nails. The sizes are like different calibers or golf clubs. Edited April 25, 2016 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Never more than amazed when I come on here to see what people can do / make. I have the most basic set of tools ever. I read bent barrel and think new gun and then read this thread The only gun I would fix is an empty one that needs a reload. Somewhere I missed an education.

darren 67 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 If you don't take things apart how can you see how they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestbry Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Update went back to gun shop explained what happened, also this is the second spring swivel to be faulty . They phoned up thier supplier, and was asked to take photos of swivels and bent barrel. These photos were then emailed to supplier. I have been assured it will be put right, as soon as they know they will let me know. Fingers crossed alls going to be OK. Very helpfully at the gun shop, but did say Air arms are prone to barrel damage Cheers all Bry Ps might get rid and buy a more solid rifle.

figgy Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Seen as the barrels are Walther and other makers use them can't see how Air Arms can be worse than others. Only BSA and Weirauch make their own CZ do to but also supply to other makers. Any rifle dropped onto a hard surfaces from shoulder height would suffer damage like yours. Only a very heavy barrel might escape being bent but you wouldn't want one on a hunting gun. BSA don't even fit a figure eight clamp bracket so the barrels are more prone to being bent.

peek-at Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Doesn't your rifle have a shrouded barrel? (if the shroud is bent its cheaper than a full barrel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Next time you visit your Gunshop can you just mention to him that I have had 6 AA rifles and never managed to bend the barrels - like figgy said they are Walther items so the quality is pretty much up there - maybe he just talks bullocks. BTW if you bought the swivels from him then HE is responsible if they break and the matter has nothing to do with the manufacturer - whether he is responsible for damage resulting from the swivels breaking is another matter but I would guess that he is.

darren 67 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Nice to hear that they sorted it out. Happy shooting and dont be too eager to bin it of air arms are a good accurate rifle. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestbry Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Cheers Darren , I also need to making the Cocking more smoother . Any ideas ? Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Lube the cocking bolt and seals with gun grease Should smooth it out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren 67 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I took my bolt out and give it a Polish with autosol before a light coat of molly grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestbry Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 AA410 is back and shooting spot on. NO CHARGE Barrel not changed , so must have been straighten I am happy so that's all that counts, plus it didn't cost me . I don't feel comfortable taking the rifle apart. It's mostly when the mag probes the pellet into the barrel it's not smooth action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
