Hi, sorry, I don't have one to make a video with buddy, sorry.

Unfortunately I've not had one on the bench (or been shooting in an age because of a perpetually filled bench!) All can suggest is have a look using your search engine of choice. Best of luck buddy.

Edit : Comment above says same procedure for the S model - cheers to poster. I doubt the inside layout will be the same, but it may well be (I've not had one) If someone is willing to send me one, I will certainly find out for you.

Honestly, I don't know what to tell you for that one. Are you a member of any of the Pard groups? Such on MeWe? (An app, though all shooting sales groups are slowly being taken down; it looks like Facebook is on the prowl to buy it) It does sound like it may have been bricked if you've got no menus, or a button failure? They're not the most robust.

Once I've got mine right for my eyes, I tape them on the outside as well now. The earlier Hawke sports suffer from the same problem.

I prefer the patina of age on old rifles , so the bluing looks 'loved off'

Pretty much buddy. Best regards Mark.

@@Erasmuspipebagger1 Many thanks just did it, all is well thanks..

I'm not sure what you are referring to buddy. Do you mean the fishing creel around the focus ring?

Search eBay for coaster

I've never tried buddy.

I have no idea buddy : this was for my front door & as far as I'm aware only the rear have child locks.

If the laser is disabled, I imagine it would, yes. All the non lrf 008s I have come across had working lasers.

Yes you're right its kind of due to the buttons being used for more than one purpose. I've had about 4 (maybe 5) NV008s, but never a set of instructions ; you know, those things we (men) only resort to when literally all else fails ;)

Cheers bud. I'd normally make deeper cuts ; the original with a 45deg shoulder instead of the 4mm radius only had 3 passes down to 8mm, but since like I say I've changed the code to a radius there, I thought I'd let mach 3 calculate the passes. Even then I halved them lol.

You are very welcome. Best regards, Mark.

Hi buddy you can make out of a piece of brass if you have access to a lathe, if not, you can get the actual mark 2 part from TW chambers for about a tenner code C1244. It's a solid screw though, not a roller on the outside of your existing M3 grub. I have found after significant testing that with the mark one wildcat cocking technique is as important as anything. Cock the rifle back so the mag rotates, then set the Hammer by cocking a tad more. That seems to stop bad indexing a great deal or at least reduce it. If the magazine actuator blade doesn't swing away towards the neodymium magnet in the block, that can also cause problems on cocking. TBH, it is simply a very poor design on the part of FX. I have made a few of the rollers but I find that each rifle prefers a particular overall diameter. Best regards. P.S. if there are any spelling mistakes or typos it's because I'm having to use speech to text since I've got an ultra se Airtech stage 2 tune on my lap (just resetting the power / balancing to reg)

@@Erasmuspipebagger1 many thanks 👍

You're very welcome. :)

I just kept trying the handle inside, until it opened, at the same time lifting / pulling the door, from the inside until it opened. It was an intermittent problem.

Did it work?

I'm no longer a fan of daytate rifles although I still service and repair them for owners. My point was, (even if it has been a demonstrator rifle) this could have been done better. A lot better. It was poorly done. Having a lot more experience of the various models of Daystates, both mechanical & electrical / electronic, is that they lool nice on the outside. Their customer service leaves a nasty taste, and its simply better to get on with fixing them, than to consider how some poor soul had his wallet extracted while bent over.

Yes I make probes. One of quite a few now.

Honestly, no. If you have something rattling inside as the door mechanism activates, chances are this fix will not work for you, and you will need the locking mechanism replaced : it's a sealed unit as far as I know.

Jim Bixby if you can managed to get it open put some lithium grease on any sprung parts and anything that slides to keep the mechanism free of debris from the wear and tear.

Same. Did you manage to fix it?

@@randommadness1021 Nope. I sold it and got a Suzuki Alto.

Sounds like the locking motor mechanism is loose - sorry, but I've no idea how to repair them.

I looked inside while I had the panel was off, but couldn't actually see the mechanism as I recall - I think there was a black plastic cover over it (sorry I can't be any more helpful, my memory is like Swiss cheese)

No worries thanks for your reply

Yes, I understood this to be the case, yet I got readings from various places. I believe from the serial number, this was a 2011 demonstrator rifle, serviced by Daystate before sale.

Maybe that explains the woodwork mangling inside the stock

Are you saying they didn't do it in 2011?. I find that either unlikely, or extremely short sighted. Have you heard the response to the Red Laminate losing it's dye all over a customer? On the lines of 'Not our problem, we don't make the stock'. They clearly don't understand strict liability.

I meant that as it was a demonstration rifle they may have had to alter an early production stock to make it fit

Ah! with you now. Possibly, but the rifle was in production in 2009 wasn't it?

Mr. Micenumber you're very welcome!

Sale date of gun was March 2017 on receipt (corrected by sales team from 2016 to 2017 on both sales receipt and the service receipt). I believe Daystate make a big deal of the electronics being dipped (4 times) in something that allows the electronics to be submerged in water (which they apparently used to do at shows) and still be fine. While doing the felt mod for the battery rattle, I saw no evidence of this. That and the battery connectors still appear exposed in any case. Someone got back to me with a date for the rifle from its serial number with a manufacture date of 15/11/11, which doesn't make sense, but is possible.

@@Erasmuspipebagger1 an early rifle then. have read they squeeze silicone into the electrical connectors, was thinking about getting one of these mk4 Daystate's but they seem to be only a£100 or so cheaper than new,I think I'd get new with the 3 or 4 year warranty.
