At most, recrown the barrel yourself, but do not let it go.



That rig shows some serious potential my friend, those groups would have me over the moon.

I'm not sure that ding is affecting anything. You might get another barrel and the outside crown might look perfect and shoot like a crap. The group at 50m was great, I don't even know if you were shooting at the optimal speed, if that group was out of the box, you have a keeper!

Man, tough call. The only problem I see is if you try to sell it and a potential buyer ask... "How's the crown on the barrel?"

You: "It's damaged but it shoots good"

Buyer: "Hmmm. I'll get back to you".

I would try to get an extra barrel if I was you. One thing for sure, I dig the laminate stock on that Veteran. Looks sweet.

That is a beautiful gun. I love your red stock it looks great!

I hope you get your barrel taken care of to your satisfaction. The groups look decent to me for 50m also. I have a standard in 25 and love it.

Have fun with it while you wait to get things sorted with the dealer. Congrats on the new toy.

I try to shoot 5 shoot groups at 55yards again. That target I was shoot at 920fps 18gr. jsb. Till now I don't know what is the best velocity for the gun. I tried also 965fps but it was not so accurate. I figure out that (seems to be) optimal velocity for my series of pellets should be from 890fps to 920fps... but I'm not still decided.

One day I tried Jumbo pellets 16gr. but those they don't like high velocity. It was like from shot gun. Probably is necessary keep the velocity in range 905fps for 16gr. jsb.

What pressure is set the regulator? Have anyone clue?

My observation from today.

See result for 55yards. I think I cancel idea to change the barrel. What do you think guys?

And here one group at 80 meters /88 yards

Personally, I'd have a .

I think that your barrel is fine, the nick or mar on the crown does not appear to be detrimental to the rifles performance. 

I myself would be chuffed with those groups, and would start to work on stability and follow through rather than rifle tweaks.

 

[octavius]

Yes I, agree guys. Probably small grub is not affected to crown of the barrel. It need to figure out why is there small move from left to center?

 

[learn5th]

I think it shoots pretty good just the way it is.

I have received new barrel from dealer here https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/recognize-cz-and-lw-barrel/ is more pictures and comparison.

So I´m finally satisfied with tuning my Veteran. My both guns Cricket and Veteran are tuned on base me knowledge... Always it should be better but for now is better than right out of the box Why you guys change the regulator for HUMA?

i think i'd have a few.....

I have shoot from veteran and cricket for 55yards. From pressure 250-120bar (veteran) 890fps and 240-110bar (cricket) 870fps - 10 shots each group.

I think there is a space for improve. What do you think guys?
