Sure, I got this from Wes some years back. It arrived shooting right at 500fps with JSB 25gr pellets. I tried 2 other pellets, and I got really poor accuracy, but the JSB pellets are crazy accurate in both .25 barrels. I ported the valve and did some other work and got it to 750fps, but...

Crown mk1 .22

I got my MK1 with 700mm slug a barrel to do sub 1/2 moa with 36gr .218 griffin slugs. But it was super tune sensative, and putting any kind of moderator on the end of the barrel no matter how short or long/ light or heavy, affected accuracy negatively. This was before I did any reinforcing of...

Thats very accurate, so i probably wouldnt mess with the tune. Its entirely possible tou have a different twist rate or even bore diameter or choke and it just doesnt like the 18.13s. Id probably leave it be if its shooting that well. Ive made clean heashots on squirrel out to 75 yards with...

Griffin makes very nice slugs, and they have a wide selection. You spend a little more, but I've always liked them. I think it's worth it. FWIW, those LDC slugs on liquid targets or game are devastating. Oh, also, not sure if you are new to slugs, but they do foul up your barrel a lot...

Could be the tune. At this point, my barrel is additionally reinforced with a carbon tube epoxied to the liner, so it is less tune sensative. I assume your 380 did like other pellets? As I mentioned, the one that came with my gun is as accurate as it gets. But I did spend quite some time...

I've got a MK1 gen 3, and I assume you have "superior" liners in your barrels. I still have a "pellet a" liner in my 380mm barrel. Never felt the need to update or replace the liner since I only use that barrel for pellets, and it's crazy accurate. My gun came with a 700mm barrel as well, but...

☝️ My tank and compressor gauges are both pretty high quality, they read very close. I'd default to the best gauge you have.

Masking tape and black caulk seems to make sense to me.

Definitely good food for thought, and certainly tracks. I have no idea what the peak cylinder temp is on these things, but I imagine it's quite high, so temperature would essentially have to be a factor. And I guess similar to a piston engine with varying material types and expansion rates, as...

Typically use AA 16gr in this one. Seems I could stand to find a lighter pellet.

Indeed, but adjusting sights every time I use the gun has them laughing, until they're not 😅 from what has been said (and from reading I've done elsewhere), it sounds like the gun may very well still not be broken in yet. I havn't shot it excessively like some of my others. Which it seems may...

What would you consider to be "warmed up"? Genuine question. If cold zero can't be repeated, then it's not much use as a hunter, so what is the trick there? Just shoot it cold? Again, genuine question. If cold and warm zero (assuming they are different POI) were the same consistently, I...

Every time ive taken mine out after storing with breech closed, Ive had to adjust sights. Its not like the gun got banged around or anything. Ive had it several years. What would your takeaway be???

Thats a mighty fine collection. Lot of pretty wood there, too.
