Tuning  An attempt to fix an Inaccurate barrel pics included

One thing comes to my mind. Many a times the users commit some such wrong act while cleaning the barrel that the barrel gets affected and accuracy goes South.

But the user doesn't share his part of the wrong doing with the tuner.

The tuner trusts the user that the user didn't touch the barrel.

In such scenario a strange situation arises in which the tuner stands correct in his place as he doesn't receive correct feedback.

I have witnessed this in other areas like attempts of the users to fix the regulators and they ruined the regulators but they claim that they didn't do anything to the regulator. In case of regulators, the tuner quickly understands that the user is not giving correct statement.

I am also thinking that how much possibility of such an incidence can be in this case.

That really bugs the crap out of me when people do that. It would save a lot of headache if the person was just honest and told the truth. I wish people would understand, that they aren’t really getting away with anything by giving it the “I don’t know what happened…I was just using it as normal(wether it be a car, pcp, whatever).

Technicians, police officers, Drs, etc are all professionals at what they do. To try and tell them any different or lie between your teeth just makes you the afternoon humor story amongst their peers. Just be honest. The professionals will actually respect you even more so

one way check valve

Robert S. said:
its not leaking at the fitting. the valve is letting the air out of the gun when I release the valve pressure valve . so to get the pressure off the fill tube

crack the bleed valve open ,,,FAST,,, slow bleeding can/might let the air out of the gun's reservoir, fast opening of the bleed valve helps seat the check valve in the guns fill port

What do you think about PAO 6-24×56 SSS SFP scope

Headshots
Me personally, I wouldn't take the chance on it. It's heavy and that's something I watch for . Check into Vector Veyron it's recommend often or Hawk , UTG , Athlon , Discovery , . And 6x is a bit high for me when hunting. Usually 3-4x is what I prefer on the low side . There's many decent scopes under 200 bucks out there. Sounds like your doing some research. That's a good start.

Brocock/BRK  What’s the accessorises you couldn’t live without?

Vana2
Guess that a scope, in spite of being a separate purchase, is not considered an "accessory". 😁

I could argue that a chronograph is a mandatory accessory for PCPs as well.

Just playing devil's advocate LOL!

Seriously, depending on your shooting environment/style I'd say that a bipod would be an important accessory to have.

First ground squirrel body recovered

qball said:
Dang! Ones here are pretty tough too. We found one my friend shot and it was laying there suffering so I put a 34.9 grain slug through its vital at 3 yards and didn’t do much. Then another through its head and it just kept on twitching. Finally we stomped its head with a big stick and and took a few hits before it finally stopped moving. Crazy tough critters. They do a ton of damage at the property so we are there to kill them however we can, still don’t want them to suffer unnecessarily but they sure make it tough being so alert and tough.

I had a few possums at a previous place that refused to die. Multiple shots though the head and kept on going.

What magnification is a CVLife scope true mil-dot scope at?

S
I measure all my subtensions at home (of scopes whose subtensions aren't advertised). I set up a yardstick from my gun room to the side of my bedroom mirror with a light on it and just do the calculations, and it's actually quite accurate. Could be done at the range too--just measure the target and range and do the math as Sawney wrote above. I also mark some of my SFP mil optics for the MOA magnification too.

Other  Regulators and higher PSI airguns

I just opened my .25 600mm barreled Crown mk2 for its yearly service, cleaning and replacement of orings. I run my reg at 178b (Huma) as I'm shooting 33 gr Zan slug at 980. Great accuracy, and able to buck the wind nicely.
I found the interior very clean , with all the orings looked pretty good with the exception of the one that is located on the piston head. It appeared to be ripped. I had noticed every now and then a drop in velocity. Price of pushing the limits. No biggie, easy fix. I do add a drop of silicon oil in my fill port occasionally to keep the insides happy.

You hit on the key to all of this. "Yearly Service".

All mechanical things need occasional service. Nothing mechanical lasts forever, but perventive maintenance can sure go a long way to keep you shooting.
