ADJUSTING THE OPEN REARSIGHT (ZEROING).
Although the Stingray and Xocet are fitted with different types of open
sights the method of zeroing the rifles is exactly the same.

resultant point of impact. Shoot at least five pellets between adjustments, using the
average of the group for reference.

clockwise to lower the leaf. To correct a rifle shooting low turn the vertical
adjusting anti-clockwise to raise the leaf.
Horizontal adjustment.
To correct a gun shooting to the right, turn the rearsight horizontal
adjusting screw anti-clockwise to move the blade to the left. To correct a gun

TECHNICAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS.
Fitting a new breech seal.
Should the breech seal (2657) become damaged or worn, indicated by loss of
velocity and air escaping at the breech, a new one should be fitted. To remove the
old one, cock the rifle. Stingray models - apply the safe. Insert a sharp, pointed
implement into the annular space occupied by the seal. Pierce the seal and flip it
out, taking care not to damage or mark the breech face or the seal recess. (fig. 7)
When fitting a new breech seal ensure that its housing is clean and free of any
obstructions. The radiused end of the seal must face outwards so as to lie against
the breech face of the action. Ensure that the seal is located in its recess as far as it
will go all the way round and that the protrusion above the face is about 0.020”
(0.5mm).
