Rogc Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 When I picked up my t8 I was told this was a problem, and you had to ensure that it was fully dried before putting it away. I always spray some wd40 in mine shake it around and leave to dry on a radiator. As the t8 is made of thin steel it suffers from internal corrosion if left damp, moisture from firing. You could try.filling the hole with weld. Or better still sleeve the defective area due to thickness of a material I would suggest tig welding this is less likely to cause further holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Don't play about with it. Get in touch with Peter Jackson and either arrange an exchange under guarrantee or a part ex with a large % for the perforated one. Google Jackson rifles and you shouldn't have any problem finding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMcC Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Speak to Peter Jackson. He has a range of moderators and will part ex any of them for the T8 I would suggest an A-Tec Maxim, alloy body with stainless baffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Don't use it it could quite easily put a fragment out at speed somewhere you don't want it to go unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoyally Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 he was out checking the zero off the rifle and at 100 yards he is getting tight groups but out to 200 they are all over the place...he thought it was the hole in the mod affecting it due to pressuring indiference?
