Quick update.
I contacted the manufacturer and they are more than happy to send out a replacement breech :)
I DID find a way to get a badly misaligned breach like this to seal correctly.
Basically I cut a seal from a piece of SOFT pipe. This pipe had a I.D. that matched the O.D. of the stock (upgraded) breach seal. this made a nice sandwich and sealed things up nicely.
If anyone is interested I can take a few pics.
Good to hear!
For every mile of road, there's two miles of ditch
Here is the Breach seal fix I used.
The inner seal is the normal breach seal, the outer is the soft tubing.
hope this helps someone else with same problem.
well look what came in the mail today.....time to go out to the garage and polish/debur her :)
All the holes are nice and centered:)
</a>
funny thing is...these two breaches are only SEVEN apart in production....strange.
Hmmm, interesting- but not in a good way from my perspective. Here's a hypothetical situation; they figure out they may have a bad run of product, so they randomly pull units to strip down to see how prevalent the defect may be and then use the stripped down units for parts- but still ship units of the dubious batch to dealers without warning them of potential problems they are aware of.
This is purely hypothetical in respect to Beeman/Industry Brand- but I have encountered at least two "manufacturers" in the optics industry that have pulled this sort of thing in the past- knowingly ship product prone to manufacturing defect without warning dealers or consumers- I assume hoping no one catches the defect or being "optimistic" that the number of defects is much lower than it is. Note: I dropped one of these manufacturers lines a couple years ago after encountering this on more than one model of their scope, the other I discontinued selling units that displayed an undue likelihood of defects cropping up, only sticking with regularly "solid" product they had.
I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
yeah, that sucks.
are we sure they are serial numbers and not BATCH numbers?
