S200 mag problem???

Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:02 pm

Right was having a bit of a plink all of a sudden my Mag started to not index properly :shock: it's mostly when I've taken the first shot it won't index without me helping it spin ,now it's happening more consistently . Any ideas ? I'm thinking the indexing pin in the Mag but I'm not 100% sure.

Look at the linkage between the bolt and the action. The plastic strip (Cocking Arm Guide No.49) that holds it close to the action is prone to break where the two screws hold it down. This can screw the indexing up.
If not this, it could be the brass sheet metal spring in the mag itself. There is no indexing pin to speak of in the S200 mag. ;) It rotates round a plastic spigot that cannot bend.

Thanks for the advice Raj I had a look and found that the screw that holds the bolt in place and index the Mag had worked itself loose and was a bit tatty so I replaced it with one I'd brought of Julian a while ago (lucky me ) now all sorted 8-)
