about 75 pels so far. it cocks much smoother; shoots smoother and is more accurrate. i think ive lost speed it used to shoot through 5/8 plywood. now it stops halfway through. the insides and spring seemed to be dry before tune. can i expect power to come back after a few hundred shots.
thanks ahead,

Adam:
My very limited experience is that smooth/quiet is easier than fast. Getting the optimum velocity depends on fitting the seal and guide perfectly, cross-hatching the tube exactly the right amount and not over-doing the lubricants, especially the heavy tar on the spring. That said, it should come up some in velocity as the seal breaks in. But hey, you've done a lube tune and now, it's just a matter of practice and refining those skills. You are hooked for sure.
