Locking the S510 power adjuster

Thu Nov 05, 2015 4:11 am

Hi all. I'm new to this forum as well as Air Arms guns. I just bought an S510 Ultimate Sporter.The power knob seemed too easy to move and then I found that there was an adjustment screw that can be tightened to alleviate the problem. My question is - Can the screw be overtightend? I realize that it is a tiny screw and so I didn't throw my weight into it, but can it be over tightened with just reasonable torque being applied?
