Indians For Guns

Hello Friends i have received my .22 national model 35 just last sunday.I have used it n shot some pellets on a target about 10m distance.I would like sum advice regardin a few things.Firstly when i begin to cock the rifle the process is jerky.Is it normal or some lubrication is required?Secondly the shot s fired were hitting target about 3inches to the right of centre.Is this usual for this rifle and should b corrected by always adjusting the sight?Awaiting ur replies.Bye

The two screws on the wooden stock that go into the metal part often are over tightened. Just back them out, apply a little blue locktite locally available as super wiz and then put them back without ovetightening them. This make the rifle smoother to cock. Adjust three inches to the right by turning the round windage screw a quarter turn to the left. Befor doing so check your trigger squeeze, the rough trigger often has the shooter jerking it and therby throwing the shot to the left. Next try to hold the rifle with a very light hold. The left hand should just about hold the rifle up, use your cheek on the rifle butt to get a good weld. Just remember to be relaxed and maybe the shots will be on target without adjusting the sights. And use only mastershot round head pellets with this rifle they are a match made in heaven .

Enjoy.

Mr j abraham,
Plz post some pics of the rifle and how much does it cost.

Please find the photos of my air rifle. cost 6k

first ,your underlever might be too tight at the hinge,loosen it.
second if your gun is brand new the pistons seal can be rough making the lever jitter.
lubrication will help you.
to find the accuracy,you should fix the gun to a table facing the target and shoot,before you lay your hands on the sights.
regards

Hi Abe,
> If you need to know the power of your air gun you have to first get it "Chronographed" - meaning find the velocity of the pellet fired from it.
> Having found the velocity and knowing the weight of the pellet fired you can calculate the 'foot pound energy' - the power.
> Re: accuracy - your gun has to be fired from a bench rest at targets 30ft away - if you don't have one, then use sand bags to rest your gun and then fire at standard target sheets available in gun stores.
> If the groupings (each group can be of 5 pellets fired) are around 1/2" min to 1" max - then your gun is fairly accurate.
> Mind you this exercise needs a lot of commitment & patience from you.
Good Luck

i have got my air rifle model 95 .22 calibre.
i want to know the procedure of zeroing my rifle.
as this rifle is not known very much, i would also like to hear some facts about it.
hope to see the reply soon.

Dear Friends.

First buy one local good Indian air rifle and learn to shoot, service and repair it. If interesting then go for higher models. With an under or side lever rifle, first cock the spring, then open the pellet chamber and put the pellet.
Close the chamber. Never put the pellet first before cocking. Never point the rifle at any one. Never keep the rifle loaded for more than one minute. If you do not want to fire. Bring down the cocking lever and press the trigger, the spring will get released. After shooting put a few drops of oil into the barrel through the muzzle and also put one drop of oil in all the moving parts. Keep a cloth soaked in oil handy and always clean the metal parts before putting the rifle in wooden box. Otherwise the moisture in the palms will cause the rifle get rusted. Do not oil before shooting. Re-bluing will cost the same cost of the rifle.

Bringing down the cocking lever and pressing the trigger will surely be a dangerous action- First the barrel will hit the face or head of the holder of the air gun. Secondly, it will also break the action and butt of the air gun.

The right action is to bring the cocking lever down, tightly hold the barrel from muzzle end and then press the trigger to disengage the action.
