Hi all

Well after a few outings I'm really not getting on with the find it very hold sensitive for me found the perfect pellet to be h&n ftt in 5.53 will stack them on top of each other on the range but just not getting on with it in the field shame really

Many hours of work has been put in to this

Had new barrel and had screw cut

Has v Mach kit fitted inc spring

Piston has been v glided

Delrin guide and pre load

Trigger stripped and polished

Re blued cylinder

New barrel bolt and shims

New piston washer

New breech seal

Target crowned barrel

Complete strip polish and properly lubed

Doing a very steady 11.7 with a field with a 6 ft per second variation over 10 shots

Here is the build thread on it

Tempted. But I can only put my 97 on the table and that ain't gonna happen... Plus you've had more 97's than hot dinners. What are you realistically hoping for?

[mattybugeye 884]

Don't know now I've re sprung her in 2 minds about keeping its Bob on now
