I'd like to know more about this, as a new Daystate owner with high expectations and low results. Can you visually inspect and tell if this is needed? I have what I think is the feel of a tight breech that you describe, but I don't have experience with other guns.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.
Emu,This morning I was able to shoot the Wolverine wth NSA 29 grain slugs at 90 yards without wind at all.
The accuracy is absolutely perfect. Not much power, so a lot of compensation compared with the Leopard, but perfect.
This one is not HP.Emu,
What power are you at? Is your Wolverine an R or a HP?
Thanks!

I have a gen 1 Avenger .22. The end of the barrel has no crown and has visible circular grinding marks where it was cut off with a CHOP SAW. I’ve never touched it and it is one of the most accurate guns I‘ve ever owned. I’ve won our indoor winter series with that gun for the last 4 years. Maybe I got a lucky unicorn barrel?Not that Air Venturi == Daystate, but Avenger barrels are uncrowned. Or at least they used to be.
Mine shoots better than I do. I remember when I was looking at it, more than one post/video was saying just what you said. "The end of the barrel is butt-ugly, but shoots better than fine."I have a gen 1 Avenger .22.
