hammer/slide question
Ok, heres the question
the hammer as it slides on the barrel is actually quite a rattly fit, not what youd call a fine tolerance at all, so with that being the case is there a chance that herein lies some of the inconsistancies and variations in fps? Now, my airarms s400 has a hammer and its own slide rail and there are no rattlings there at all, the only way the hammer can move is along the rail………….my s400 is consistant in fps over 50 shots with a variation of only 8fps (without a reg!).
Anyways, im going over to one of the forums top guys sometime next week to have my barrel cut down from 24 to 18 inches and was wondering if any of you guys have had the hammer slide section machined to a good “none rattly” fit, and if so, is it better? more consistant? and, while having my barrel shortened, should i specify this closer tolerance?
Cheers chaps
PS…..in exchange for some top advice, i shall teach u some more British profanities, general swear words and all round foul language

Mine is not tight but there is no play maybe .002″. Slides back and forth like it’s on butter.
Iv already got a Leupy hammer, and very nice it is too………what i want to know guys is, is your hammer a rattly ride on the barrel or is it a close tolerance ride?
I made one for my .25. Willing to make and sell them.
leupys custom shop in scotland makes a wide variety of hammers, all ride the barrel… 😎
Some or someone makes a hammer that rides the barrel. That sounds better than the OEM hammer being pushed catiwompus by a long loose spring.
Also for inconsistencies check inside the frame for a large BURR where the breech knob shaft contacts the frame upon cocking. Also, polish the inside of the frame where the hammer slides.
While your barrel is out being circumsized would be a good time to work over the inside of the frame.
