To lean or not to lean PCP against the wall to store it.

What the heck was that??? First three shots (when it arrived) were LOUD. Didn't get to shoot my new AAS510 until yesterday (Saturday) and now...it's quiet as a mouse. Even on full power I have no worries about sound. Thanks Pete (Airborne) for suggesting Neil Clauge. I hoped that I wouldn't have to go through that trouble but he came to mind right away.

Marksman3006, thanks for that picture above. Right now, she's resting by the door with the scope gently and paddingly (is that a word?) against the wall.

On low power, it hit about 8" low at about 20 yards. And, I can see the pellet fly to the target. Still learning the Hawke scope and need to adjust the two-stage trigger but overall, I LIKE this gun. Have to build or jury rig a solid bench, though, as resting the stock on the back of a chair just doesn't cut it.

I still haven't named her yet as only paper has been hit. Which brings to mind...does anyone else name their guns?

Those first few shots were dieseling. The sudden compressing of the oil or grease caused it to ignite (like a diesel engine does, without sparkplugs) and boost the velocity a few hundred FPS. --> sonic boom and super loud. It's natural with a new spring gun, esp. if it hasn't been cleaned.
