This video was originally uploaded to help a customer who had over adjusted his indexing to the point it was no longer working, I thought I would add it to my channel because it may be helpful to other Scorpion owners who are having indexing issues.
This is a quick video to show you how to adjust the magazine on the BSA Scorpion and the very early Mark 1 R-10s that index when the trigger is pulled. If your magazine is not indexing properly after taking a shot and pulling the trigger ALL the way back then your indexing may need adjustment.
Notes:
- make sure the rifle is not loaded and does not have a magazine/pellets in it,
- take the action out of the stock,
- turn the action upside down so that you are looking at the trigger mechanism rather than the scope rail,
- use a small spanner (7mm or an adjustable) to loosen off the lock nut (shiny nut on the black threaded grubscrew that pushes the indexing pin in the mag slot),
- use an Allen key to loosen off the black threaded grub screw half a turn,
- while the Allen key is still in the grubscrew tighten the lock nut back up,
- fit a mag in the rifle and see if it cycles and indexes properly,
- keep adjusting it until it is working the way you like it,
- make sure the locknut is tight so that the grub screw does not move during use,
- fit the action back in the stock,
- go shooting!
Please carry out any repairs and adjustments at your own risk, If you are unsure and do not have the correct tools then it is best to take your rifle to a gunsmith or send it to me.
