I used a ring spanner to tighten up harder.
Heres a question about refacing the breech.
If your breach sits flush with the reciever, and is based around a single pivot point. Won't squaring the breech face allow the top in closer but move the bottom out?

That's a big drop over the barrel length.
Did you strip the Phillips head or the threads.?
Tou can put a ring spanner on the head.
How's the starlings going.

With the compression tube against a straight edge the barrel is at around 3° downwards

Well I have tightened up the breech as far as I can go before fear of stripping the Philips head out and I still have alot of lateral movement so I am going to have to shim the breech.

Also noticed that the breech end of the barrel the barrel is definitely oval or off centre only where it's fitted into the breech block. Then it's perfectly straight after that. Maybe if I can remove the barrel I could cut this section off and machine down and refit and put up with the shorter barrel.

Over baited Starlings at 12m Ive missed 3 from 3. I'll head out with the old BSA meteor and see what I can do in exchange

No I started by unscrewing it, once I had removed the locking bolt next to it.
Then once it was out of the oppistite side threads moved the barrel till the tension was off the pin and pulled it out.

Kruz, how easy did the barrel pivot bolt come out?  Did you just force the peened end through the thread or machine it off somehow first?

U got an owners manual… no fair. I want one too.

Does anyone have one of those recoil absorbing bases that goes under the one piece gamo mount/rings that they want to donate or sell?
That Ranger scope I wanted to fit is super long and I need to lift it up so the breech can open.
Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.
