Lately my groups have been getting worse...again. The first time it was a bad magazine.
Last night while airing up I noticed an allen screw on the shroud near the block looked loose. This morning I located a very small allen wrench (less than 2 mm) and sure enough it was. I tightened it up, checked the other one that I could reach and then tried some shooting again. First several shots were low and left, re-zeroed the scope and my then groups were spot on again.
It seems strange that such a little thing could make a difference in accuracy but I can't dispute the end result. Only time will tell.
I'm tempted to tear the gun down and check every single screw in it. I love the look and feel of the gun, the ability to top off the magazine, the shot count. etc. But it's very disappointing that I should even have to consider tearing apart a 3 month old gun because of worries about quality control.
