Thanks for the comments. Regarding the lube tune I did when the gun was brand new, I really don’t think that it did much of anything. First, I applied the lube pretty sparingly. Second, that was 8 months and probably 1000 shots ago. Im much more confident that shooting it was the ticket...

I own two HW 30s and a ProSport. None required any tuning or break in. All had smooth shot cycles and superb accuracy out of the box. Always wanted an HW 50 and picked one up about 8 months ago. Was disappointed in how rough the shot cycle was. Buzzy with some spring twang. Had to routinely...

Pyramyd Air. It’s an Air Arms OEM spring.

I’ve shot a couple of truly amazing five shot groups with it. Some have been right at .5 inch at 50 yards. But those are rare. I think the ten shot groups give me a better idea of what its true accuracy (and mine) is.
