Title: 1400 sliding cover or bolt handle?
Post by: Horatio on July 02, 2017, 09:33:37 PM
Never owned or even handled a 1400.

Have any of you had both the sliding cover and the bolt handle variants? Other than aesthetics, is there an advantage to either one? Thanks.

I've had both.. now I only have a bolt. So guess which one I prefer? The bolt just gives me more of a "gun" feel if you can follow that. I guess it just comes down to preference. I wouldn't pass on a good deal just because it's not a bolt style. But if they were both available and I could only get one it would be the bolt.

Current got both types. Don't have a preference for either. A preference I have is the slim line stock of a 140 as oppose to a 1400 stock.

So fpe and accuracy are the same regardless of breach? How does the pellet get pushed passed the port? Thank you guys.

The slide cover simply attaches to the bolt with a screw and the bolt works exactly the same when you slide the cover closed and twist it as the bolt knob type.

The one I picked up for refurbishing has the sliding bridge cover, wish I had the one with the bolt, the 1400s look really cool with a Williams peep, but I only seen it installed on the Bolt variants, I believe the slider would get in the way of the mod.
