I'm the second owner, best I can tell it was purchased new around Sept last year 08 and first owner shot about 1.5k pellets so it looks new.. I have tried 2 different scopes and mounts on this one and cannot get the accuracy I'm looking for.. best I can do is 2" at 10 meters! It has excessive grease and the spring looks to be kinked from the part that I can see. Have also noticed diesel effect and smoke, I fired about 100 shots and still seems to still be dieseling, it is loud, vibrates alot and twangs . Another thing I have not seen before or heard of anyone doing this, but ...The metal next to the barrel breach seal seems to have a pressure wear mark on one side only so thinking this may need to be lapped so no bias, not sure if this is a good idea?
The crony said I have 845 av. fps and a 32 fps spread on 15 shots .using the same pellets in an identical except black shadow I get 895 av. fps and 20 fps spread on 15 shots.
My plan now is to possibly try my first ever major tune ( I see nothing to lose and always wanted to give it a shot). Well it was a good idea untill I discovered I cannot find any good info or links on what to do:( Any suggestions welcome:) I would really like a maccari spring, Guide, washer and possible telsa seal and according to the web site if not mentioned then he does not have it! I do not want to disassemble, make a spring compresser or order anything like GRT 111 trigger get a camo paint job etc.. until I know I can get what I need and feel comfortable with this project.
I need help with where to buy what I need and what to be aware? All advise and help appreciate, Tony.
