Breech block is not straight
Hey guys,
I need your opinion on this:
Last week I bought my cricket from this person.
When I got home I started to check it out and found the breech block sitting a little bit off to the left.
Is this normal, and if not, how should I fix it?

tighten barrel/AT clamp ===remove stock tighten firing valve set screw.
#2 screw is the one next to tube or the other one going in at an angle?
You don’t really need that A/screw, just look in the hole — if you see the in dent on the barrel your aligned. If your slightly off it will not affect the speed.
Thanks guys, I will look into it as soon as the mailman delivers my alignment screw.
It should be here within a few days.
eelect, is stating it right—but also loosen slightly the 2 firing valve set screw then put on stock do as eelect procedure, when breech block is alighted

Thats what I did on last weekend. Now no more poi movement when tank get below half. I suggest you leave gun in stock. Then observe what happens when you slowly unscrew tank clamps. See if clamp moves at accommodate the misalignment between barrel and block.Release the one next to block last because that’s the one that will move if they do move. When you have everything loose see how barrel alighns with barrel hole. Move block left to right and find the sweet spot where everything wants to be. When you are ready to put barrel back using the alignment screw watch and see if alignment screw pushed barrel right up tightly against block. If it does you need to move tank clamp forward so you have a tiny bit of room between barrel and block. Otherwise you’ll have poi shifting and other headaches. I just did mine like this and I emptied 4 clips on sparrows and starlings at 50-72 yards with ease. Zero shift. It would move axactly one mil to the left after the second clip but not any more. Got me a dangerous shooter. Hope it’s a help

OK what am I missing here? I stared at the pic but I don’t see a problem!
No it’s not the stock.
The scope rail is horizontally level, but the breech block is a little off to the left.
I’m thinking about disassembling the barrel and airtube, and putting it back together just to see if it’s an alignment problem.
I don’t know what else to do 🙁
Maybe the stock is a tad off to the right?

Barrel sits really tight in the breech block, how can I remove it safely?
Air tube was a piece of cake, it’s just the barrel that won’t come off
Nevermind….I got it :whistle:
