If it is the same then it has to better than what i have at the moment, are you aware of what the differences in the two models are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 The mechanics are exactly the same, is it a particular problem that you have, or is it just something that you want to read. Mine came with my 303, but I have never opened it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsDad Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 If you look at "Guns & Equipment" /" Instruction Manuals" on this site you can download a manual for the A303 and a number of other models. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked earlier but i was perhaps too specific with A302 in the search bar, thanks for the heads up i will get a look just now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Lets see if anyone can come up with one for you. Failing that I am prepared to lend you my copy to photocopy and make up your own. As my gun is totally original and mint condition, I would like to keep the handbook for it in case I ever decide to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishyplops Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 The 303 came in sporter or field, the 302 was a field model, the mag shut off was moved to the forend on the 303. (The sporter had no mag cut off) switched to internal Mobil chokes on the 303, tests pretty much it ive had a few lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishyplops Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 N mate just feed them 70mm cases amid try to keep above 28g, they will work with below either but that's the only time mine have jammed, they do say never have he ports adjusted on a 3" chambered gun as then it will only fire heavy carts, but the 3" chamber is a rarety (I have one) ive had several around 10 I think from 301 to 303 deluxe, still got a 302 magnum, a 303 field deluxe and a 20g 303, I do clean the gas port with an ultrasonic cleaner, they are great reliable guns easy to clean and strip, the 302 mag cut off a miles better than the 303 version in my opinion , but it comes at a cost as the cut off is also the trigger unit retention pin, so is liable to wear .......after about 100,000 carts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is part of the cut off lever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishyplops Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 You can do that, just make sure you have stripped everything else first, and push out from ther side, tbh I prefer the 302 version to the 303 cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishyplops Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Are the Gas ports in the barrel clean? Also check the gas piston to make sure it's clean and that he centre collet (with the circlip on)moves freely when younsay not cycling, is it an occasional jam or every time, what's carts and length and gram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said i have given it a full strip and clean this morning, checking that everything is clean & that everything looks to be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does (I'm assuming you mean the Piston), I have just got back in and although it will fire the cartridges without any issues, it will not eject and reload the next cartridge.

Have you cleaned out the two port holes? Located in the piston housing tube.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
