I guess he wasn't a gunsmith, the thing is the shop in question are very well respected in my area, also they have a few staff members, maybes it's the time of year or they just couldn't be bothered? I also have a bsa r 10 that was a little low at only 9.4 lbs with accupells and again they had to send it to bsa to have it tuned, this was under warranty. Quote Link to post

SFS have a good reputation,and to come on a open forum and run them down its not good for them,especially when you have only told half the story,about the power. Quote Link to post

SFS have a good reputation,and to come on a open forum and run them down its not good for them,especially when you have only told half the story,about the power. Let's get things straight here 1) I said it was a pre owned air rifle. 2) I have not mentioned the name of this shop or even hinted at it. 3) Bought from a family member who I know without doubt has never fettled with the rifle at all! To elaborate a bit more I discovered the anti tamper to have been drilled, what's to say it wasn't like this when said family member bought it? 4) the post wasn't about wether to or wether no to pay the shop to do the work, it was a request for help so I didn't have to spend the money needlessly. 5) I never said this was bought from daystate, I always said it was pre owned. Let's get things straight here...If you take the time to read through the full thread then you would have realised this. Thanks Quote Link to post

ghillies 209 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 getting it back is actualy a good sign tbh... they can keep it and say you dont have a FAC... just for the by the by.. pcps get higher fp's from heavier pellets, springers higher fp's from lighter pellets. consistancey wise, 5 feet per sec varience is good avareage shot to shot, 2 is excelent. (springers do strings of 1 fps shot to shot then change to another string of 1 or 2 fps..sort of three strings but always the same three..for a good set up) pcp's, heres a vital.......... regged theres a dowards power curve only, e.g. full it starts at say 11.5fp's empty at 11 or 10.8 fp's. unregged, it'll start at the 10.8 go up to its max the 11.5 then start to drop below the starting point. so tuning one involves a full fill string of shots over a chrono. last but not least...always get a full fill readout, because all the above is only a rule of thumb, there are anomalies and always will be.

jeemes 4,485 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I tell you what pisses me off, when you buy something from a shop and when it goes wrong they start bleeting about the manufacturer..Well you didnt buy it off the manufacturer,you bought it from the shop. It is there problem as far as Im concerned. If they (shop) have issues with the manufacturer I dont want to hear about it.. By the way it was andy97 and myself who mentioned Sandwell field sports not jln. Most gun shops best advice is usually to buy what they happen to be selling at the time.In my opinion its not always in our best interest and SFS is certainly no exception. Quote Link to post
