Hello Guy's,,I want to talk about the "Recon" from Gamo.I recently bought one from Lebaron's here in Toronto,Mostly because of the looks, and something my wife could handle,out of the box, boy was I un-impressed,,then after I put 100 rnds through it, I wanted to toss it in the can,,groupings changed with every new pellet that I tried,one grouping for "Crosman SuperPoints", another for "Gamo Magnums, another for"Beeman Laser's", and so-on.,and it was LOUD even taking into account the synth,. stock,way too loud.,So, I decided to tune it with the services of a local guy named "AirBuddy",(the biggest mistake I have ever made,,aside from buying the recon in the first place),this knob says that he de-burred,polished,spaced the original spring,,de-burred, polished, and weighted the piston,,added thrust washers,,de-burred, and polished the slots in the receiver,,lubricated, and adjusted the trigger, and added 4 lubes,,He said the M/V was 443fps before the tune, and 540fps after the tune.(all this for 50 bucks),,when I got it home, and actually fired off a couple of rnds,The bloody thing was twice as loud as before the tune,groupings were all over the place(even worse than before the tune) and it wanted to almost twist out of my hand after you fired a pellet,Now, my wife doesn't even want to be in the same room as the @#$%!@&)# thing.If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do with this gun, I would really like to hear about it,,Thanks Guy's,,Andy.
P.S.,,,,If I didn't get screwed,,,,why does my bum hurt so much,,,,LOL.
