New Air Arms owner
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 1:33 pm
Hi all,
Thanks for the add !
I purchased an almost mint .22 s200 from my local gun shop at Skipton, North Yorks.
I believe it to be a mark 2 , it has a grey plastic bolt handle which has a nut to fasten rather than a grub screw.
It has a 2 piece stock, air arms 10 shot magazine system, air arms moderator , hawke vantage 4-12x40 AO scope.
It chronoed at 11.2 with Jsb exact Diablo 15.9 grains.
I took the forend off and the cylinder is marked at 122mls.
I filled it at 180 bar and got 70 good useable shots at the range and it still was grouping around the bull.
I'm impressed with the accuracy apart from the odd flyer which maybe due to the wobbly plastic bolt handle.
The barrel is free floated and doesn't have a barrel band like my friend's mark 3.
When you fill it with the t bar cap the brass seems to be touching the barrel, in fact there are a few scratches from the previous owners use.
I'll post some pics when I work out how to do it,
Regards Steve
