I forgot, the pellets looked fine to me. Maybe the marks were a little heavy but shouldn't make it shoot inaccurate.

Remember, this gun was set up as a low power gun. To expect a low power airgun to group well at 75 yards is kind of optimistic."Scalf"I think at this point i would see about returning the gun and getting a replacement. If it needed a little improving i might polish the barrel but it needs a lot of improving. Polishing the barrels on my fx 500 and Boss helped accuracy but not a lot. It really sucks to get an air rifle that doesn't shoot like it should. I got a RAW 25 cal that didn't shoot to suit me but couldn't get Martin to do anything to it so i sent it to AZ to make it a 30 cal. I bet it shoots good when i get it back because AZ will really test the gun and make adjustments as needed before he sends it to me.
Here as well but what are the differences between a 16J and a 40J variant?"scrane"Your gun was delivered with 12.5 fpe. Here, that is a low power gun.
What energy level is the gun currently shooting at?
Thanks John! I also started using Napier Power Lube and it makes cleaning much much faster and easier. Four to five dry patches and its good to go."spysir"Respectable indeed. Looks like one of "my" picked groups these days. Another sleev of pellets & targets need fear you!
Thanks for the follow up, naturally I have tissue tested rigs efore but never thought to test each side ( and I though I knew every use for dental floss ) .
Your deductive reasoning skill seem up to par so I am pretty sure you will end up with a fine rig that groups to your satisfaction.
"Thin washer was missing"? Straight from the factory and it is a part used in your model? I have a friend who had some minor issues with his FT rig, he chatted with the President of the company ( maybe easier if you shoot & travel international?) and the company was most responsive. That Teflon will get hit hard by hpa, maybe you can get the parts sent free?
Appreciate the tip on blow by.
John
I understand that the teflon tape isn't the thing that is preventing the leak. It's only function is to raise the TP a bit higher up so that the o ring comes in better contact with the bolt. Making the washer isn't the problem. I'm concerned because the air is escaping just from one side and by lifting it up the TP even further I might be putting unwanted stress on the bolt or possibly other components."scrane"Shims were placed under the transfer port at the factory only as needed. Some lg100's have it, some don't. You should be able to cut the "washer" out of most anything thin and plastic. It is there as a spacer and not to hold pressure. AGAIN, I would urge you to visit the "Shooting the Breeze" website, both the general forum and http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=48
