US Patent 10288375 Air gun with barrel alignment wedge

An air gun and methods of manufacture are provided. The air gun includes a barrel block pivotally attached to a compression fork. The barrel block includes two lateral wedges, one extending from each side of the barrel block. The wedges interact with complementary surfaces on the compression fork. This interaction reduces both lateral and vertical movement of the barrel resulting in greater accuracy and reduced need for re-sighting the air gun.
