Brocock Bantam still having a magazine problem

[Emu]

With your hand and the tip of a drill:

After changing the barrel for a poligonal LW one, now the fitting of the magazine (start of the barrel)

looks like this:

This is the magazine I ordered hoping this fixes the problem. I will report my findings.

CARM have a minium order now for the UK since Brexit of £135

@emu, wow I am shocked a hand turned drill bit would touch a barrel, thanks for confirming that, I would have used a hand held drill else.

Why would you use a drill bit on the barrel if it's a magazine issue? Seems a drastic measure, is your gun accurate when you single load? Maybe you got a lemon and should seek recourse from Brocock?

At the time, I don't believe he knew where the issue lay, and may still not know. Let's not rush to judgment.

@elh0102, not judging or rushing at all... Just said it seems drastic to have to resort to a drill bit on the barrel.

It is important to see if the pellet is not a JSB 34 grain. Those pellet do not fit in the magazine. It is needed to reshape them to reduce the diameter.

A wider entrance to the barrel avoids damage forcing the introduction of the pellet.

It is clear that the travel of the pellet through the magazine and into the barrel makes the pellet to get damaged within the barrel.

It would be ideal to find a conic tip to make the entrance to the barrel wider:

What the deal with the barrel is there no leade? You can't push a pellet in till the back of the skirt at least?

Send it back, both groups are TOTALLY unacceptable.

My Bantam had a combination of a bad barrel and a mag issue. AOA replaced the barrel, and the rifle then shot fine using single shot tray, but continued to shoot only mediocre using the mag. In hindsight, I should have tried other mags, but at the time I was interested in another project and sold the rifle to an individual who said he wasn't concerned with the magazine issue, as he never used them. The rifle was a laser in s/s mode, so it turned out well for both of us.

Solved!!

Buy a Daystate (without a computer) or a Uragan.

You think Daystate's are trouble free? Think again, they own Brocock.

How was it solved? Details would be great!

Regal XL in .22, Wolverine HP HR in .25, Air Ranger in .25, and Renegade HP in.30, upto now, are working pretty well.... They are extremely accurate.



Trouble free, normally, only the concrete nails.

My Renegade has had multiple issues and accuracy is inconsistent. Everyone has their own experiences and there is no guarantee of trouble free performance regardless of what you buy.

Groups 1-5 single loaded, group 6 from the magazine. Came off reg. for group 3. Partial refill then groups 4-6.
