I'm not sure that is much of an issue with the air pistols we shoot. The mounts I have 3D printed for the Combro put the muzzle about 2 cm back from the first sensor, and the mounts for the HT-X3006 are similar. Because the turbulence of the air exiting the barrel can affect the accuracy, most competition pistols have an "air stripper" system that vents the gas away from the path of the pellet. In many instances, this starts well back from the actual muzzle.
I've been careful to make sure the pistol mounts I've printed don't block the venting system on the pistols (give or take the occasional rubber band...).

I'm still struggling to understand what's going on with the accuracy of this early Beeman 77. The wind was very light to non existent this afternoon so I went back at this rifle with five shot groups at 25 yards. It shoots ok with FTTs 4.51 (targets 1-5)or 4.52 (targets 6-10). After dialing right 8 clicks and up 6 I tried grouping 5 FX 10.3s on 11 and it was horrible. Tried two shots of 8.44 JSB at 12 but they shot so far left I moved to 13 where they shot so poorly I gave up after four.
Bottom row is AA branded 8.4 made by JSB. Target 23 is more what I expect from this rifle at 25 yards the rest are about the same as FTTs..
This gun shoots ok with its best pellets but its terrible with most everything else. The last rifle I seen shoot different pellets to such wildly different POI had a loose barrel and no choke. The barrel on this one slugs great so I had such hi hopes.
It might turn out to only be a conversation piece on the wall.

Shot the RWS 45 today. The lighter weight was easier on me than the 300S. Here’s 5 @ 10 meters standing off hand. I wish you all a joyous Easter.

I know, I know! It was just a quick example of how an average hobbiest can share what's needed.Need the Total OAL ?
Length of 1/2-20 threading ?
Width and Diameter of shoulder behind threading ?
Bore diameter within 1/2-20 threading ?
The .600 at barrel end , I.D. or O.D. ?
Need BOTH specifications noted.
Is the I.D. slipping over barrel shouldered at some depth ? or does it continue all the way up to the shoulder behind threading ?
Placement of air venting slot as well width and length required ?
Ex machinist ... sorry

Before doing anything- read this:

Beeman - Weihrauch HW30S($4.40) for less than a McDonalds Happy Meal($5.69)
Recently rescued this neglected HW30S from a local auction house. Cost less than five bucks out the door, so can't complain about its looks. This one is stamped with Beeman's Precision Airguns Inc., but no R7 branding. The Weihrauch website dates it to 1977 and the R7's first appeared in...

My crosman m1 had some parts (semi) failures rather rapidly resulting in a loss of semi auto or bolt hold open after a shot at all. About 1000 shots judging by co2 use. I had about 35 minutes of fun with it over 1 week.
The bolt carrier, has a sear face with a tiny piece of steel cast in, the corner radiused. The bolt has another catch face, radiused. The sear had uneven faces and a mold seam that was causing uneven contact resulting in wear and slippage.
A little diamond stone seems to have it straightened, but i need to test.
Crosmans customer service line is a nightmare. I went from #9 to #8 in 3 hours on hold. No email responses yet.
It's a great, fun gun that can easily be made to last with a little better qc or minor parts blueprinting.
