Hello there,
A new member here looking for advice.
I just received my FX Crown .22 Synthetic on Wednesday July 11, 2018.
Today was my third days shooting it.
I was shooting the 18 gr set at "Max" and was getting 870 fps.
Accuracy was getting better in the past couple of days with my zero at 50 yards. I had a short two hours plinking today and trying to shoot out to 80 yards with 18 then switched to 25.4 gr to see how the grouping was. I got shotgun pattern and POI was up and down the target page. I was surprised with the POI shift but decided to call it a day.
Here is my question that I need help with.
I was putting my FX into my gun locker from my case at night and I noticed there was a rattle sound from picking up the gun. I shook it back and forth to see what was making the noise. It sounded like something was sliding back and forth behind the Hammer Spring wheel. So I took the gun apart following Youtube video instruction.
Here is what I found. The little piece of block as shown (I am using the pic by Tomcat for illustration) is moving freely back and forth. I checked the spring underneath and it doesn't appear to be broken, at least not what I could see. But the "hammer block" wasn't pressing on the spring at all. I would imagine the spring would have some tension on the "hammer block", shouldn't it?
I don't know if the gun is broken or not until I test it over the chrony tomorrow, but in the meantime please advise and let me know if the sliding block is normal.
I will need to call my dealer and see if that is normal or something had gone wrong with my 4 days old Crown!
Thank you in advance for any input.
