FTP 900 Barrel

Sun Jul 03, 2016 7:53 pm

Sorry if this has been talked about before but I am new on this forum.

My FTP900 has suddenly become inaccurate, its about 6 months old and a 2015 model, it's had about 1000 pellets though it, and it was quite accurate in the winter,
I have now noticed that the two sleeves on the barrels don't revolve, well the front one does but the back one doesn't,
my question is should they both revolve freely and if they should how can I put this right, it is still under warrenty.

Any advice would be useful.

As its under warranty could you take it back to the shop for a once over. Failing that you could always ring Air Arms direct.

i know nothing about the sleeves on the barrel. 1000 shots, have you cleaned the barrel? if not try it, put about 20 shots through it to re-lead the barrel then try.

I know its only 10 but once I have put a few through it it should get better.
