\"Watching ground squirrels go underground and I know they are procreating, getting ready for a mass invasion this summer! As soon as I git my gun its all over.   I\'ll put down their little uprising \" Terry thought to himself as he watched from his kitchen window as the squirrels ate his orchard.

Yeah I saw that yesterday, but the thing to remember is, that anyone can install a JM kit in their gun.  That doesn't mean the gun is tuned or lubed properly (or at all).  There is a lot more to a tune than just installing a better spring and a rear guide.  

I guess I just don't like it when people say "it's tuned with a JM kit", and I see that a lot.  No your gun is NOT tuned.  That gun is far from being tuned.  To me it's just a spring replacement with maybe a better guide if it came with it from JM.  Does the gun shoot better than before? yes most likely, but it is NOT tuned.
Springers:
Diana 36 .177
Diana 350 .22 (donated by Timmy!)
Diana 350 .177
PCP\'s:
Air Force Condor .22 (Airhog)
Air Force Condor .25 (Talon Tunes)
Air Force Condor .25 (Lemak)  
CO2/Pump:
RWS Hammerli 850 .22
Crosman 2240 Custom .22
A few Crosman pumpers .177

Yeah, "a JM tune".  JM doesn't tune guns that I know of.  Did you buy it?  If so, tell him to wrap it in bubble wrap and secure it inside that pillared case.  Those things have damaged more stocks than you know with those stupid pillars.

And, no matter how good the tune parts, it all comes down to how well it was tuned.  If the guy's a challenged DIYer, that may not be a big plus.

No I did'nt buy it. I am very set on (need) a .22.  Although my wife doesn't think I need a pellet gun. Its very clear in my mind that I do!
