Accuracy!?!?!?!

[Guest air gunner]

Hi i have a BSA supersport which i have owned for just under a year up till now it has been very accurate up to about 35 yards but recently it is only accurate up to 15 yards! what could be going wrong?!

[Guest air gunner]

the gun did fall onto the scope but it wasent behaving before that either!

first id check the mounts to c if their loose etc then id look at my scope make shure its got no sighns of dammage then id check to see my pelets whernt damaged in any way maybe get another tin off the same brand .then if its still hapening try to check the gun over .then would try rezero and if non off that works id probully hit the bluddy thing with a hammer or take it to a gunsmith what ever was easest lol hope this helps

i was thinking off cutting my barrel down on my gun ,would make it unbalanced and unaccurate

[Guest air gunner]

Cheers mate but how come it is still accurate at 15yrds? i will check my mounts now though etc.

[Guest air gunner]

How do i go about making the gun smoother? What grease how often how to polish etc any pics and diagrams would be much appreciated.

I was told that a molybdenum based grease was the best thing to use on a spring & piston, it wont dry off like an oil based one.

[Guest air gunner]

cheers maltenby i will get some of that. Any idea how to apply it?

[Guest air gunner]

Anyone know how to apply the grease and overall make my gun smoother quieter and more consitant? (bsa supersport)

[Guest air gunner]

it still kills at 15yrds just took a pigeon

Put a gas-ram in it. They cost 40 quid from a bloke on here and work a treat!

Moly grease goes on your spring and guide, only a smear though. And a VERY small amount on the piston skirt. Don't let it near the compression chamber though, or it'll combust and screw up your gun.

I have asked about gas rams before most people give a them a good rating although some say that their gas rams have leaked etc so should i get one? also how do i get to the spring and guide? do i have to dismantle the gun? or can i just remove the stock and apply from beneath? are gas rams consitant? and are they easier to shoot than spring?

I read that the AirSporter doesn't work with gas rams due to the trigger something or other.

Cheers mate but i think that the supersport should be ok i have seen them advertised for the "supersport" im not sure if the supersport and air sport are the same? anyway are they reliable and more consistant than a spring?
