 Tuning guide for Gamo Hunter 440 AS. If you have arrived here, then you likely own a Gamo Hunter (or similar). This is mine, and I do love it.

I'm assuming you have already taken the gun apart before so you will know how to do that. The internal mechanism will have to be stripped down. We are going to remove the barrel assembly from the gun which is quite straight forward, just make a note of where everything goes.
