My first Gamo headache.....:)
« on: March 07, 2007, 10:47:59 AM »
Well out of over dozen or so Gamo's I have now found one that has a real problem..:) The last S1K I purchased is broken...:( ......  After I brought it home from doing a CDT Lube and Tune. I have pushed over a 1000 different pellets through it...  My velocity has increased on an average of 20 fps, now that the seal is broken in and seating well. But yesterday I noticed that I am shooting low. I kept adjusting the scope for it and had it dialed all the way out in the up position and still getting low shots more and more frequent.. I check the scope and mounts and changed them out a half dozen times. Ended up putting 2 shims under back of scope. LOL, still shooting low. Now matter what I did to correct this, it was all screwed up........ lol

NOT A BENT BARREL OR DROOPER...HEHE

My answer came late in the afternoon. I callled up Bob and after telling him my problem he told me what to look at and check... I will be darn.... the barrel was not locking up tight. I never would of noticed it until he explained to me what to look for... I don't know if it can be fixed but he volunteered his services for tomorrow if I pay for the greasy spoon next time... hehe.

CDT told me he had only run into this problem a couple times out of all the hundreds of Gamo's he has done. I will probably have to go in the house while he fixes it, if he can cause he don't want to give up his secrets... hehe

Well first thing I thought about was Dave and his CFX.. and all the problems he had. This drove me nuts for two days, but Dave messed around with his CFX for a month or two. I am surprised he is still in his right mind.. lol

So tomorrow I will find out if this gun can be fixed or just used for parts.. Oh my my, and I was just falling in love with it... hehe

Who says I'm in my right mind?  I never claimed to be in my right mind, either before or after the CFX headaches.  Which seem to have cleared up, BTW.  Very smooth and consistent, finally.  It's shooting so well I'm hesitant to do anything to it, but I really want to add some preload to the gas spring to see if I can boost the power a bit.  Don't really need it, but I just want to see if I can get it.  It's supposed to be an 18 fpe ram, after all.

Sorry to hear you're having Shadow problems, Gene, lucky for you Bob is so close!  Keep us posted on what he comes up with.  Later.

Dave
