Fwb Sport Mk1 Baptism.

[mark williams 7,568]

Well lads I re-mounted the Tasco 4x40 scope after cleaning the barrel again.

I made sure of no cant, and set her up precisely again.

The patches first came out filthy but after changing the patches for clean ones and pulling through a good half dozen times she became spotless.

 

 

So next was to shoot her but with the new internal piston seal, breech seal,new spring and re-lube, there`s a lot of settling down to do.

At first she was very erratic grouping badly

 

After a good 150 shots she started to show some settling down and then would loosen up again.

 

 

By the time a good 200 shots were through her I managed this group

 

 

So softly, softly - she needs running in I`m hoping but the spread will reappear I`m sure .

 

Hopefully just some mild dieseling going on.

That rifle will come good. I can already see an improvement from those pics.

 

Like my old dad once told me - there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle

 

Anyway, what's with the drawings????

 

Only a poxy circle???

Where's the pigeon drawings? And the drawings of blokes in a hat?

Next up Jon

I know it's immature but, I damn near pissed myself at that hat drawing.

I'm sat here now giggling thinking about it

Nice one Mark, I think there will be a few on here watching with interest to see how things progress.

I must admit there is a "world of difference" between the characteristics of the old girl compared to a new rifle.

 

I just hope that spread is down to a little dieseling and settling in and not another problem

AND TO THINK YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE HER BACK

 

I WONDER WHO MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

 

Nothing wrong with them groups Mark i would be well happy at that

 

AND SHE WILL ONLY GET BETTER THE MORE PELLETS THAT GO IN HER
