roblade Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 how long have you had the rifle and why is the power bothering you now? most rifles are coming out the factories running around 10.5 F/lbs due to different pellets producing higher power levels.

Allan Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 This happened to my sons S200 after about 8000 shots. looking at the left side of the action when cocking the gun, the thin cocking lever was not always returning when the bolt was pushed forwards. this prevents the hammer from imparting full force to the air valve. I found a burr on this and its removal cured the fault. During my inspection of the gun i also found a sticky residue from oil on the hammer, I cleaned the whole action thouroughly and used a dry PTFE lube on the hammer. this cured it and using a chrono i was able to set the power to 11.8 ft pounds. This is an excellent little gun and when you do need spares go to air arms directly i found them really helpfull and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Boy Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 its not bothering me that much, because its a very efficient tool and is very accurate. i would just like it to perform to its full potential which i paid for. I will try cleaning it, i too have put close to 8000 shots through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bindi Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Drop me an email (PM) and (if I can still find it) i will send you a tuning guide to get the 200 back to 12ft lbs, or if you have a FAC, upto 16. regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Oh and just one more thing does this info fall into the box marked "I am now able to use this and make my gun illegal?" Very good, very informative and many thanks but in the wrong hands................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I agree, details of power adjustment should not be openly shown on a public forum. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
