Daystate I do not know if should be angry or happy.

I’m impressed! That looks professional, almost like how it should have arrived

.25 and .30 lackluster accurate barrels are not an unheard of phenomenon when it comes to daystate. Makes me paranoid to buy a used one. I bought a used 25 DW before I knew. Luckily it shoots good. Would like a 30 but hesitant because of everything I’ve read.

If you get a LW barrel on a Daystate, RAW, etc. that doesn’t seem willing to deliver tight groups, check for the common potential machining defects at the crown, leade, and barrel port. But also be aware that most will have a tight region near the breech that you can feel distinctly when pushing a pellet through. It needs to be corrected with lapping to reveal the barrel’s potential.
