Airforce AIRFORCE Texan tired of tank loosening!!!

[elittle1234]

Ahh it drives me nuts over the years ive owned my Texan no matter what i do the tank lossens..Accuracy suffers..No matter how tight i tighten tank spin-loc and set screw it always works free some how.. I can achieve accuracy with my .510 but the tank valve has to be perfectly tight.. The big spring and hammer with one once slugs lossens most things.. I really wish for a much larger set screw that i wouldnt have to worry about stripping out...

I was shooting mine last month and realized the bottle was super loose while I was shooting it. Like you said, no matter what i do I can't get it to stay locked in place.
For ease of use and reliability these things can't be beat though.
And those giant slugs you sent me caused carnage. The recoil felt twice as big.

Im really happy you shot some big .510 the 650 grains ...I finally solved my tank lossening up with a piece of cardboard wedged between tank and custom stock on my Texan....
