Assembly issues; couldn't get bottom of barrel aligned with holes.
2068886
We had a slight problem getting the last bolt in the bottom to line up with the hole. We went back and loosened the other bolts, and then we were able to get that last bolt to line up. Afterwards we went back and re-tightened the other bolts.

When I put the bolts in I left them all loose then tighten when they were all in

The instructions say to put the bolts on "finger tight." This did not work for me, either. I would suggest just engaging the threads of the bolts with the nuts until all the bolts are in place. Mine still needed bonking with a wooden mallet I happened to have. Aggravating, but it's quite sturdy now.

I think my husband had an issue with that as well. We had a terrible time with alignment and then my husband noticed that the "hood" was bent on the one side at the bottom. The only way he was able to get it to fit was to use either a hammer with a towel around it to get it into place. We would have sent it back, but it is the last step of the assembly process and by that time, we had spent so much time getting everything else assembled that we didn't have the strength to take it all apart and try to re-pack it for return. Unfortunately, he passed away 9 months ago, so I am not able to give you the specifics that he would have been able to. I think my husband had an issue with that as well.

You haven't assembled it correctly. Try again. If this persists then I'd contact Omega

I had the same issue. Eventually the assembly fell apart and I ended up returning it. Sorry couldn't say anything positive here!

The barrel does not stick out. It sits just less than flush with the bottom, which by the way is open.

It was a PITA. You have to make sure all the screws are half way in to assemble it. That way you can still maneuver the legs as a units to make sure they are inserted properly in the top frame.

I am not real sure but it looks like the very end screws out maybe, bringing the barrel out with it maybe, or will loosen up and come apart. it seems like only way unless it all pressed together. take a piece of leather and pliers an gently try to unscrew the end???? search ebay for my herb's paranoia pin

SORRY BUT "NO".....It will not set properly in the mold with a threaded barrel.

I had trouble with the way the screw holes lined up in fact I had trouble with the top of those up rights in general, I even had to refer to the directions to see how the top cap and the screws and the net went together, which was not intuitive... actually referring to the assembly instructions which is very unusual for a male.

Bottom of clamp where the screws attach seems rounded to allow for clearance. (Different problem) clamp may need to be modified to use with aftermarket barrels.

The first thing I do is pull the clip off as it is really uncomfortable in my hand. The only solution I could think of is glue or epoxy if you're desperate. The barrel separates easily which can be a problem but I've never figured out what to do about it. I just deal.

I didn't face this issue, however, most any hardware store should have what you need for less than a reasonable price. If you prefer to wait, I am sure the manufacturers address and phone number is on the assembly instructions pamphlet somewhere.

Hm? The one I purchased was completely assembled. I suggest you "contact the Merchant" thru Feedback on your recent Orders page... --GBJ

I am also frustrated with this design. I haven't begun looking yet, but my plan is to go to the manufacturer's website & look at schematics for something with straight parts that actually line up when I try to assemble/reassemble it. I will post findings on Amazon. Sorry I can't be of more help at this time.

It's actually a brass site and barrel which is soldered onto the barrel. You'll probably need to send the air rifle to a gunsmith to fix it.

Unfortunately my tools and drill were stolen to thread my barrel so i haven't had the chance to install. However, i would wrap and clamp/vise the barrel as not to twist the stock. It should be near impossible to do structural damage to the barrel by clamping/vise. However, if you twist the stock it may cause vibrations affecting long range accuracy.

I had same issue in my sks because i cuz it down except mine was to large had to mill it down what i did was used a strong drill bit and made 4 dimples for the screw points to grap and used thread lock its worked flawless just be sure to line the adaptor with barrel or risk sending it down range with a round

We used the shotgun mount under the barrel, which was in line w/ the barrel. That put it on its side. Hope that helps.
