Hello All,
This will be my first post as I just joined the ranks here , and I was hoping I can pick some.., if not all of your brains... on some good intel as to why my Top Hat o-ring keep sheering off every few shots?.
So, I have the Airforce Texan .457 heavily modified.. w/the latest AAO equipment,(valve, hammer, spring etc for max performance) that I've been using all of his upgrades for well over 8 years now without issue. I have Thousands of rounds through it, but the gun seems to really like the NSA 350 HPBT's and really Love!... the Zan 380 HPBT..
Anyway, I can also get around pretty well, and am extremely familiar with this rifle... but, seem to have run into this snag of having my gun do this issue fairly recently.....since I started shooting it again.
I'm thinking that possibly that the breech seal could be gone? , or maybe that the hammer may not be striking true to the hat due to an alignment issue, and sheering the ring if that's the case?
Anyway, all of your help would be greatly appreciated, and curious if anyone else has ever encountered this issue, as it's been a while since I shot this gun and maybe just missing a very obvious fix without having to pull her apart.... Cheers and thanks!!
