john bowket blue printing.

[AlBrown 61]

I have a good mate locally who has an R10 Mk 2 and at 40m is getting pretty much pellet on pellet but for some strange reason is sending his rifle to be blueprinted, personally I think he's mad. For me if it's good enough out of the box and proves it on the range why the hell should anyone be playing around with the rifle. Anything that costs anywhere near as an R10 should need nothing done to it unless is develops a fault, then its back to the manufacturer. Also how does it affect the warranty if it's blueprinted??

Rednal/Rubery, and having done my apprenticeship at Rover in 1979 I had to be able to file to a thou so I expect modern day engineering to be at leat within that ballpark.

The warranty is void with BSA, but I think JB guarantees all his work for life.

Having blue printed gives u lifetime warranty as long as its not messed with

[Pink or stink 162]

I would rather original manufacturer warranty so I can get my money back. None of the fettlers will refund you £650.

[Buster321c 1,010]

Pink , you have PM

[robwelsh 354]

Yes, what happens when your 2 years are up pink

[AlBrown 61]

All fine and well that JB guarantees for life but worth nowt to the owner if something else goes wrong and you end up footing the bill for a repair during the warranty period for the manufacturer.

 

For me I wouldn't let anyone near a new rifle

Then I pass the worry onto a fettler so I can hold him responsible (or get a Hammerli AR20 and stop worrying).

Young man's game, gotta hit the sack. Night ladies.

He guarantees the rifle..only thing to go wrong is 1. If you f**k about with it 2. You snap the stock...If I bought a new rifle I wouldn't buy one that need to have all the work to perform how it should for a 700 mark gun

[Pelletpower 203]

I had my s-10 blue printed and when I got it back it was like shooting a different rifle the probe engaged the pellets through the mags a lot easier, its power was a consistent 11.6ft/lbs with aa fields, with a spread of 6fps over 25 shots. The reason I sent it to him was that the exhaust valve wasn't seating properly and was leaking air very slowly, about 2 full days to empty the bottle so that was my reasoning(well that's what I told myself) I probably would have sent it anyway. As I said when I got it back it was spot on I was hitting 8mm holes on hft targets at 50 yards consistenly....there is videos on you tube showing it! It was that good!

One of the things I don't agree with that's been posted is that it could make it worse! If john serviced/ blue printed your rifle then came down to the accuracy test and it was all over the shop he wouldn't send it back to you like that..not only he wouldn't I can't think of any gunsmith that would work on your rifle, make it worse then send it back expecting full payment!! That just wouldn't happen would it.

Haha paying to make it worse
