bruno22rf Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Never really wanted to sell that Stutzen but glad she is seeing some daylight and you seem to be enjoying her. Still get the odd call asking if she's still for sale!! Stunning gun that attracts attention and should be a good investment if you ever decide to sell her on - only ever seen one in a sale, real tatty but went for over £300 - daft but heyho.

bruno22rf Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Am I right in thinking that you say it's the first pellet that's the flier each time? - points towards a friction issue to me - first shot creates heat that loosens everything up just that little bit - try cocking /uncocking the gun several times in quick succession before loading and firing your first shot and see if you still get a flier.

That, or follow through. But we can talk about that after you've fixed your trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iano Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 better bloody work as you have forced me to drills 'oles in me gun... ..........is that the sort of design you were thinking of ? I did say bluetack and thumbtacks! But yes, that is pretty much it. And as you said - you get a lot more control out of the trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure if people get what I mean by the blue tack and thumbtack, so I drew a quick sketch Black is the trigger shoe, Blue is the blue tack Yellow is the thumb tack Thanks for that. I had misunderstood. For my old pistol though I'm going to put a piece of Blu-Tac over the part of the trigger I shouldn't be touching and leave the part I should be touching free. That way I should be pulling the trigger more consistently. It is only an old HW70 that I got for dispatching rats in cage traps and then got the bug for 10m target shooting in the garden.

ditchman Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Right..........i had a play about with the "new" trigger stalk...and my fliers were less but the groups were very ragged....so i didnt post the pics up.........so what i did was to change the....... length of the trigger stalk..(just didnt feel exactly right) the postion of the stalk...to give me a snugger fit with the hand and better fulcrum purchase..... and it worked......12 metre group fine ...straight off....and the 2nd group @ 25m bit ragged (as i was trying different postions on the tip of my finger)....BUT most important no fliers... the target bull is drawn around a new penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
