willum 89 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 are you sure its not leaking air from anywhere had this with mine when i first got it the seal had gone inside the chamber slowly seeping air out near the bolt. try this worked for me if you have straws at home place a straw just into your not so its in deep and you have got to go A nad E but enough so when you move your head about with straw over the gun you can pin point if its leaking air mate try this first and then i would def go to your local gun shop and ask if they can chrono it for ya. if not ask a few chaps on here they may have chorno. since my gun was repaired i havent had a prob with it and its consistant 11.6 on chrono all the best with it mate.

dan dan the hunting man 0 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) willium do u have the same gun??? went shooting this afternoon with it hit a pidgeon direct hit from about 25 yards didnt as much move a feather the bloke i bought it from said it hasnt been used in ages so maybe a refill of air would do the job does any 1 agree .. because im useless with air rifles anyway lol and do u think once the gun is working as normal its defo worth keeping Edited July 13, 2010 by dan dan the hunting man Quote Link to post
