I've been chasing an accuracy problem with my Bantam. In a 10 shot mag the first 6-7 shots grouped fine, then thlast 2-3 would be off. Thinking perhaps it's me or the wind, or fliers. But this was consistent and kept on happening. So I tried manual loading and with that I got 1 ragged hole every time. Looking at the magazine I noticed it looked misaligned slightly on the final 3 pellet locations (see my illustration below). Apparently it was scraping against the shirt of the pellet and deforming it enough to cause inaccuracy.
Went to AOA and talked to Don. He tested fired and sure enough, same results as me. Manual loading was one jagged hole, with the mag not good at all.
He went in the back and got another magazine and when he inspected it, it was more out of alignmemnt than the one I came in with. In the back again and got another, this time a good one.
Just thought I'd pass this along, it might be worthwhile checking the alignment before buying a Compatto magazine.(They aren't cheap either.)
