robmiller Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Guys recently got myself an S200 (Mark 1). However, i believe the fixing at the end of the fore stock element is missing. I am not sure what i need. Basically the barrell is not supported above the bottle. Can anyone direct me to the component i might need? Many thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali-C Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 As far as I know the Mk.1 had a floated barrel, and the barrel band was added on the Mk.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmiller Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Oh, well that explains it. It just seems that the barrel bounces about a bit. Dont know if anyone else can help or shed any light on this. Also, the fac upgrade.....is it just a spring or further components?

lineshooter Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Rob, Ali C is right, we had one of these and I did look into changing the forend to a Mk2 version, as at the time you could not get the barrel band seperatly, but it was too expensive, floating barrel`s are better anyway. They are a cracking gun though, very accurate, floating barrel or not, I have a genuine Air arms silencer and fill adapter for one of these if you haven`t got one, swapped gun before we could fit it. Try Chambers Gunmakers website for the part you need. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob IMO I wouldn't bother with FAC power on an S200 if it is standard, you would get too few shots per charge to make it practical unless you had a reg fitted or a buddy bottle fitted in place of the standard cylinder. Simon, (Tweaky on airgunbbs.com) does alot of custom work and his work is highly recomended, he can fit a regulator or buddy bottle if you wish. But if you have your heart set on a standard FAC S200, then you can up it to around 18FPE with the adjuster screw, or you can fit a more powerful hammer spring, bearing in mind both methods will give less shots per fill.

killer rabbit (r1000) Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 As far as I know the Mk.1 had a floated barrel, and the barrel band was added on the Mk.2? correct - although a new mk2 forestock will fit (standard fixing) if desired. if you want to take it to fac - new hammersprings are available (only this needed to upgrade), but will only take the gun up to around 26 ft lbs - not really worth it as you'll not get many shots per fill...
