BSA R12 CLX PROBLEMS MUST SEE BEFORE YOU BUY

[@shaneweightman]

Glad I came across this video, my friend John bought one about a month ago and , he phoned me last wk and said the gun wouldn’t cock , cut a long story short , he took the stock off and turned the gun upside down and a pellet dropped out , I will mention this when I review the gun shortly on my KZbin channel , thanks shaneweightman

[@briancollins1078]

I purchased the R12 CLX 177 Bolt action brand new 1 week old and did it with me within HALF A TIN of pellets. sent it back and they said in the report to make sure your pellets are seated properly in the magazine. I have 9 air rifles and a good few pistols. so it's my fault guess what did it again how many more times. Traded the gun in for the new FX Panthera 177 absolutely fantastic air rifle happy shooting now😁 😁😁😁😁

[@Falconuk1]

So glad I found your review, was going to purchase the R12 this weekend, will be getting the hw100 I think. To much hassle with this gun by the look of it. Thank you for your review you have saved me a load of hassle

[@oldfartinthenight9201]

A year later but I'm at a similar point, choosing between the this R12 or the HW100T. The adjustable cheek-piece & greater capacity bottle options made me look at the R12, but I reckon I'll stick with my first consideration and go with the HW100T. Thanks for the video.

[@shaunjones6049]

I had Pellets jamming and shaving in the 2 R10se rifles I owned. Shot ok on the level but when hunting shooting up at angle while keeping the rifle on the rest and cycling the bolt both rifles jammed or damaged pellets when loading . I often lost the chance to bag a second bird, If you own a BSA rifle try testing it by safely shooting from a gun rest at a angle cocking and shooting the rifle at various angles to see if it jams.

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

I’ve had mine in bits today to have a look what’s going on. I am going to chuck it up in the lathe in a fixture I have made so that I can deepen the o ring groove ever so slightly. There isn’t much material to play with but if it fails, I will be remaking the anodised part on the CNC machine. If either of these methods are successful, I will be happy to modify other magazines for people for a very small cost, or i could provide a new inner for the magazines

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

Get some pictures

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

@@sibfishingadventuresuk1558 I will do. I’m hoping that deepening the groove ever so slightly will allow the o ring to hold on to the pellets much better

[@mikewallis2794]

That was my thought too. I can't see changing o-rings helping as they will only sit at the same level. If the new o-ring is too fat, it could even prevent it sitting in the bottom of the groove and make matters worse. Yes, the o-ring needs to sit deeper across the pellet aperture. By the way, if you think that magazine is fiddly, try a Daystate Wolverine mag!

[@owensparks5013]

How did it go?

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

@@owensparks5013 perfectly! It certainly fixed the issue

[@stevecox9876]

Day 1 out of the box and it jammed, yes it pulled pellets back into the block, there is a side plate on the block, remove this and the pellets fall out....The cause was the magnet came out of the mag and jammed the the mag, sent back to BSA, returned in a week with a free mag. Araldite the magnets and since then I've put 2k pellets through it and no issues (using only BSA Gold). Never had issue with pellets falling out.

[@mikenesbitt4218]

This issue also occurred on my .22 Ultra CLX. Again BSA say user issue but I found a pellet stuck to the probe and pulled back into the mechanism even when pointed downwards. I agree the main issue is the size of the aperture into the trigger mechanism and ill fitting of pellets into those very expensive magazines. Shorter pellets seemed to be the main culprit whereas JSB Exact seem to fit better.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

It's disgusting how the after service department immediately tell a customer that they are they are the issue when they have had the same complaints from numerous owners of a new to market rifle . I've always believed that the rifles most reviewer's get have been thoroughly checked , tweaked and tuned by the factory before they get sent out , it's either that or most reviewers are dishonest liars and aren't telling us how the rifle broke down on them and needs more QC.

[@peterhennessy9899]

Had exactly the same problem with my BSA Ultra CLX in .22 but the pellet is stuck behind the hammer so has gone back to the shop to be repaired. The guy knew about this problem as soon as i told him what was going on with the rifle. 17:04

[@Shorts-qy5no]

Thanks for this. Although I have an AA Ultimate Sporter .177 and a HW100KT .177 I was considering getting one of these in .177 but will not be doing so now. I checked this out and you are right people are having this issue with the magazines. I think it is awful you were told user error and this should have gone straight back to BSA. That is a bad fault! I have had issues with my AA and my HW both with air leaks BUT both went back without question and were repaired under warranty quickly and no problems since.

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

You would expect being new there are gonna be some issues I understand that and yea probably should have waited for these to be ironed out .. something this simple thou it's really bad. I've actually got to ring my rfd tomorrow has BSA have reached out and want to address these issues

[@TheWelshman50]

@sib fishing adventures UK Same problem as you rifle dragging pellets back and can't cock! Used the other mag supplied and it seems OK so far,definitely a magazine problem. Keep us all informed what BSA are going to do to remedy this problem. Thanks for highlighting as it's terrible to pay so much money out on this air rifle

[@peterhennessy9899]

I not long ago purchased the BSA Ultra CLX in.22 and have the same issue. I have a pellet jamed behind the hammer. It's in a dangerous condition so it is going in to be repaired. The issue is that sometimes it won't cock properly other times when you pull back on the bolt load and push forward on the bolt it fire's without touching the trigger. BSA need to fix this issue.

[@mdean1517]

I was informed by my gun shop that there was a fault with rifle. I went to purchase the 1.77 but was told they would not accept rifle from BSA till fault had be resolved. I can only thank the shop for not allowing me to buy.

[@polydadmac]

I brought a .22 R12 . Leaked like a sieve. Took it back and swapped for a .177 . Had numerous magazine issues and numerous trips back to RFD. The recall was the final straw for me . I was told the regs could explode even though BSA denied this when I wrote to them . The quality stamp on the manual doesn’t mean a wank . I eventually had a full refund and switched to an Air Arms S510 Ultimate sporter R. Never going near a BSA again.

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

using the ,510 makes you think why you when with the r12 in the first place ..

[@mikeflett505]

Good video. Sounds like the groove the O ring sits in should be a touch deeper. This will allow O ring to grip pellets better.

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

I was gonna Dremel it down alittle but wanted to try the orings first

[@mikeflett505]

I bought a nylon hw100 mag in 177. Pellets came out the same. Made the groove a tad deeper with a small round file on each section between the pellet holes. Bingo. Works a treat now.

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

You’re absolutely right. Unfortunately there is very little material left to enable going too much deeper. I’m going to have a go with mine to see if i can make enough of a difference

[@maureenmillard4241]

Watched a guy on YT have to rework the barrel on his 12,had to recrown it ,and he made a longer probe to seat the pellet in further to slightly engage the rifling,if you put a pellet in the chamber and tipped the barrel up the pill would fall out. It shot fine after the extensive rework!!

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

Shouldn't be able to fall out once the pellet is loaded in barrel The issue was the mag wasn't holding the pellet and the prob hole was as big as a 7.62 ., seems a little off centre the whole.thing too Now they have released the slx r12 which was a year in the making lol to correct all these issues I believe

[@aboutthemetal8783]

If you are replacing any o ring on the internals of your rifle make surevyou know the shaw ratting of the rubber it's made from , a lot of people go to the normal DIY shops and buy loads thinking they will do the job , they won't if they are holding any kind of air pressure , that's where specific Shaw ratings are required, I'd recommend looking for the white o rings that best fittings and others sell , they last a lifetime , actually I've never had one fail on me , they are great for the oring needed on the bottles of the r tens and 12s .

[@sibfishingadventuresuk1558]

Nah I won't be I'm waiting on new probe orings then if it still don't shoot true I'm seeking my options

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Very disappointing to see bsa's brand new flagship rifles are not being thoroughly tested at the factory before getting sent out , back in 2008 when bsa revealed the pictures of its new ( yet to go on sale ) flagship rifle that was retiring the super ten ,people were excited , the prototype rifle looked leagues above the super tens ,a quick fill and a gauge , that was a major thing back then , so in 2009 when the first r tens ( the mk1) started to hit shelves , they sold instantly , however most people who bought one were back at the gunshop within a few days , the regulators used in the rifles were failing massively , usually it was power inconsistencies that were the problem ( in turn causing accuracy issues ) . It's a shame the r tens started off so bad , bsa eventually did a MK2 r ten before even releasing that model , the mk 1s ended up with re worked regulator's getting installed ( just to get the rifles to sell ) I bought one of the re worked mk 1s and it served me well for 2 years , not one problem at all . I then bought a super carbine MK2 , again no problems and never once broke down in the 2 years I kept if for .

sorry to hear that, what have you got now?..

[@andybrown8293]

Sounds like they cut the o ring groove in both calibres to the same depth, when drilled for .22 the o ring sits deeper so it holds the pellet firmer. This is a fundamental machining error on bsa’s part. Try making the groove deeper?

[@lucidtouchstone3924]

Okay, I've got a BSA R 10 and R12. The R10 magazine used to misfeed the pellets occasionally. I took the magazine's apart, removed O ring and used a junior hacksaw to cut a deeper groove. End result is a tighter group and no missfeads. R12 is mangling pellets but it's metal so not sure if the same treatment will work. I think it's outrageous that we spend a lot of money and are then told it's user error. It's not user error but a failure to properly test the design. Perhaps we could start a group and gather enough people to put pressure on BSA to fix this design error?

[@VOLKZZORN]

I had that too and yes, it's a shame I sold it and got the GAMO Bullpop, no problems 😉

[@stevewilliams2895]

for £1000 imo there should be NO "quirks" or issues with a gun, for that much money i want flawless. maybe thats unrealistic but if its not flawless for that money i wont buy it. i saw reviews of the Ultra CLX by bsa (£650 rifle) had the mounting nut for the stock too far forward so it caused leverage and also had very little wood on the actual stock to stop the bolt pulling through, also the mag springs were too tight and took shavings off the skirts of pellets and built up in the gun. i got my first PCP today, gamo phox starter kit, pump and all that for £530, it doesnt have a single one of these issues. it really feels like BSA dropped the ball on the "CLX" stuff which is a shame cause it was supposed to be a show of their optimal engineering, the pinnacle of 160 years of being in business, and they all end up having issues. damn shame.

It was highly anticipated for me could wait to get it, the r10 I had was a fabulous bit of kit but only after it was tuned but airtech although it's was a blueprint of johns .. honestly it's been such a disappointment all they have done it's throw a different stock and a buddy bottle in the ultra clx which has exactly the same issue ..

I can't understand these BSA fanboys. Can you imagine buying a brand new car and immediately having to take it apart and replace parts of the engine with after maket bits to get it to run properly and then telling everyone it was a fantastic car? This is not the first video I've watched listing BSA problems, which wouldn't be so bad if it was a £500 gun from China but for the price its disgraceful. A few years back I bought a new FAC BSA R10SE which turned out to have a sticky bolt and an inconsistent regulator. The RFD sent it back to BSA who seemed to have just pumped a load of grease around the bolt. It was no better. Got lots of on-line advice from other owners, like sending it to 3rd party whizz kids who would replace bits and tweak this and that (£££) after which I would have a marvelous rifle! Are you kidding me? It was rapidly swapped for an Air Arms S510 FAC which cost about the same at the time and which worked perfectly out of the box and through a few years of wet weather and cold winters doing pest control. At the same time I also had a new HW100 sub 12 which, like the S510, worked perfectly out of the box.

Problem is .. it was £1200 plus didn't work out the box didn't work after the orings and still didn't work after bsa had it back so .. yea that's the fuss

It is a user error, why would you ever point the barrel upwards. Even level is fine.

Most of the issues came while bench shooting.. this is an hunting rifle

[@shaunjones6049]

95% of my shooting is Hunting Crows pigeon, squirrel, which nearly always involves shooting up into trees. Unfortunately BSA Rifles are not fit for this purpose and worse still BSA have a long record of producing models with the same faults. I can only assume that the BSA management don’t really care about the quality or reliability of their products only making a quick buck , The fate of a lot of Uk businesses ,is management who have no interest in the product just short term profits. It will finish the company 😔one day.
