Benellimelody Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Just wondered if someone could point in the right direction regarding tightening the stock on my blaser. The wood to action fit is slightly loose causing some movemnet. I have took the butt pad off and look inside the stock but their doesnt seem a way to tighten it (no screw or nut) - and i'm meant to be shooting tommorrow nad need to be up at 5 Any quick helpful respones would me much appreciated Thanks Edited January 17, 2010 by Benellimelody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Dog Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) If your blaser is the same as the one I had, the bolt connecting the stock to the action is actually about 8 " long and also houses the stock 'weights'. Sometimes this bolt does indeed work loose. Did you get a 'T' wrench with your gun. If so, half a turn usualy sorts it out. Ps, the 'T' wrench fits the centre of the bolt if u know what I mean.

Mungler Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 At JJs they have a photo of a Blaser with an over tightened stock - it's split and cracked wide open from the palm swell. Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 TD, trust me, you dont. Over hyped !!! Spoken by someone who has never used one. They are without doubt the finest handling gun made today with near perfect balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 now mc.i`m sure they are a fine gun but i would think it`s down to personal preference yet again.i`m near sure that chap used to own one.as i say we all can`t get along with every gun. if i had the cash i would try one out.will just stick with the 686e in between times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Spoken by someone who has never used one. They are without doubt the finest handling gun made today with near perfect balance He did say in the above post he used to have one. But i have to say i don't believe they are over hyped, i've never felt triggers as good as those on a Blaser or such a well balanced gun which comes in a range of stock sizes so that not only short fat people can shoot them.

They are without doubt the finest handling gun made today with near perfect balance Indeed MC, never used one but owned one for a year. Fine gun with great balance and indeed the trigger pulls are excellent. Probably didnt suit my style of shooting. Horses for courses and all that. I sold mine as I 'grew out of it' so to speak due to weight loss. Still believe they are over hyped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeainscow Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I didn't need to start a thread on blasers. There was one going on beneath my nose. When you say short and fat are suited for them i'm 6ft3 and 12.5 stone. I'm the total opposite! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suggesting they actually offer a gun with different fitment. Unlike beretta, i have never tried or shot a beretta that fitted my lanky/sloped shoulders. Which is a shame as their balance puts my miroku to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benellimelody Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Anyways after the initial response to this thread I took the butt pad off - this was the first time i'd done so When i did so, i realised there was no balancing system inside the stock - just an 8 inch hollow with nothing obvious to tighten. I therefore never ended up adjusting it and risked taking it out Everythin was fine and if anythin it became tighter (Atmosphere?) and i shot well with it - 4 out of 5 red legs on the last drive - all screamers It is a standard f3 bought second hand - I can shoot really well with it and it is perfectly balanced so not too bothered about having the weights - just want to be able to tighten (is there still a way of tightening) and dont want to have been done! Also is it possible to purchase and fit the weight balance system and bar if neccesary? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 If there are no weights it may be a game stock or have had the weights removed as this caused some people to have head aches when shooting the f3. However i thought there was still a tightening bolt at the bottom of that hollow? Even without weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) The hollow rod will tighten as the hexagon inside the tube matches the stock removal T handle http://gunmanuals.net/Manuals/blaser_f3.pdf the threaded bolt can be removed and the weights can be fitted, one weight is normally supplied with the gun. See page 10 in the manual. If you just want to tighten the butt there is a slit in the centre of the pad, just lubricate the slit before you put the allen key in to stop it tearing the rubber.

Evil Elvis Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Didnt like this bit: ATTENTION: After loosening the balancer, the stock is no longer secured. Handling the gun now, could result in the stock removing which could cause damage to the gun or stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i thought there was still a tightening bolt at the bottom of that hollow? Even without weights. My F3 was purchesed brand new and it didn't have any weights in it either. They are only supplied if the balance of the gun isn't right in the first place due to wood densities etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I bought mine brand new, it came in a cardboard box with two chokes and a weight with two allen keys which were supplied with all the guns. The test in Clay Sporting magazine also mentioned that all guns were supplied with a weight, so that the balance could be altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The manual that came with mine states two weights and tells you how to alter them on the threaded bar. It was only when I had the recoil reducer fitted the the gunsmith told me there was any weights in it. Mine also came with a complete set of 5 chokes in an ABS motor case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a 5mm diameter bit of steel in the centre at the bottom of the hollow but this looks flush and doesnt look like it can be tightened. If it can, what tool do i use? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The stock bolt is about 5" long and has a hexagonal socket in the end of it which you use the supplied allen key to tighten it. Mine is in the box in the loft but from memory it is about 5 or 6mm. Mine had to be shortened when the recoil reducer was fitted and the gunsmith brazed a new socket on the end.
