spider.20 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 it shouldn't do ether. unless the hole goes right through into the rifleing of the barrel which i'd be very surprised if it did. what gun is it? spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc M Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It shouldn't effect either, you may even be able to source a small grub that would screw into the vacant thread and bung the space up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It will be fine fill it with wax. If you want to use it again which you probably wont then just pick the wax out with a cocktail stick. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_jack Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 its a webley stingray k, and yes it does go right through, so am i best just replacing the screw? with a smaller one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 That smarts of incredably poor engineering to allow a sight screw hole to go in to the bore of the barrel. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I would see about getting the end of the barrel reworked. First i would check if the barrel is choked. If so find out where as if the choke starts about 1" or more before the hole it should be ok to rework the barrel to have the hole removed. I would have thought a hole would cause inconsistency of accuracy as the hole has the potential to snag on the pellet skirts Also it will lose air from behind the pellet before it leaves the Landz Best of luck with that one. Keep us informed Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_jack Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 yeah i can see what you are saying, i will just leave the front sight on, it will save me money and alot of hassle, thatnks for your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider.20 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 ok hold on. duz the hole go into the actual rifeling? or duz the rifleing end and is then fallowed by a wider chamber like bit almost like a shroud which the hole is on? that's wot the end of my .25 supersport looks like.not sure if there's a hole tho coz i'm using the open sights. if this is the case then i think your fine. if not then it's an insane place to put a hole hope this is a help spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_jack Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 the hole is in the thicker part of the barrel, when the front sight is removed this is where it is... if you get a pic up of the webley stingray carbine youl know what i mean....

spider.20 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) ok i found a pik. is that a muzle weight or a brake ? when the pellet passes the hole has it left the barrle and is traveling through a wider space inside the muzle weight? as long as the pellet passes the hole without making contact to the metal all is fine and dandy . is that a full length FLASH? my lightning isn't like that but it's a carbine. must be manufactored differently or something. spider Edited January 31, 2006 by spider.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would have thought the simplist thing would be to find a grub screw and loctite that in the hole. By making sure that it is the correct length i.e. will not protrude into the barrel then you will be left with EXACTLY the same siuation that would be in if you left the front sight on.
