Mawders 595 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Skot fair play to you for attempting the clean yourself but I know personally I would be taking mine to a gun shop or someone that's competent at it because I wouldn't try it myself. Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 No worries, mate. I'm just glad you got it sorted Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 well its kind-of sorted.. just put 102 pellets through it. obviously im out of practice after 3 weeks of no shooting.. and it was windy.. but excuses aside... i cleaned the barrel PROPERLY THIS TIME lol before i set off, grabbed my combro, targets and a fresh brand new tin of jsb's 4.52 so after 102 pellets im not right impressed to be honest. obviously the new grease etc will need to settle and the barrel will need re leading (after 102 pellets it should be tho?) , but it was allover the place still.. and the chrono results were even worswe than before with loads coming out aat 5ft lbs!

thursodog 353 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just serviced my 2 HW80s and tuned the triggers. Small amounts of Bisley gun grease used as per manufacturers guidelines. No dieseling whatsoever. Getting groups of 5 pellets within a 5 pence at 30 yards with the sub 12 and within a 20 pence with the fac one. Lightened my trigger pull after polishing the surfaces of their internals (cleaned all the old grease out of them too) The sub 12 was full of grease and oil (maybe motor oil) I couldn't even achieve 2" groups with it before i stripped it. Got loads of good advice from pianoman, and i've spent loads of hours reading up on tuning, servicing and shooting too. I've been studying Si and Davy's vids on marksmanship also which has helped alot. I'd get the gun sorted pal. Quote Link to post
