After tuning my Impact it was just to much for ratting, so decided to get something small in sub 12FPE that I could fettle during lock down. After much research decided the P15 would be ideal. Small/ lightweight/ inexpensive and would probably need work out of the box- 
Unfortunately even after dealing with the bad breech and crown I still couldnt get it to shoot for poop. It appeared that the chamber was machined to large so pellets could tumble before being pushed into the badly finished leade. Wasnt worth sorting so fitted a choked Weihrauch 495mm blank-
Ended up removing original baffles and using hair curlers spaced with delrin washers which work well enough (only 12FPE remember)
The gun was spiking wildly coming off reg so to keep things legal over here in the UK reduced pressure from approx 100b to 65b, polished and lightened the hammer, and fitted a delrin top hat to it aswell, also made some slip washers for either end of the hammer spring. Now running at 11.8 with a 6fps ES using 5.52 16gr Airarms fields.
Next was the stock. One coat of black stain followed by several coats of danish oil-
Not the best finish in the world but better looking than the original in my opinion!
Also made a much needed butt pad spacer, and finished off with a nice little/ lightweight Discovery VT3 FFP Compact scope....
Original mags are in the bin, replacements from Darko should hopefully drop through my letterbox this week.
Trigger set needs a polish, and seeing a little reg creep overnight so may fit a Lane reg eventually, but shooting lights out otherwise so....Fingers crossed this lockdown doesnt last much longer!
