htlk2000 1 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi all, I have been enjoying this site for a while now, but this is my first post and i'm in need of a little advice! I have just got back from my permission, i had a good time clearing some of the feral pidgeons the farmer asked me to thin out. I had 11 and missed a cheaky rat! Sorry no photos as I never take a camara. At the end of the session i was waiting for the rats to surface from the feed containers, but it was getting a bit too dark so i shot a pellet into the soil of the next field to make safe and pack up. This is when i noticed the sparks as the pellet left the muzzle so I fired 3 more, same result. This can't be normal,i think the silencer might be slightly off line but lead is a soft metal and i didnt think it would cause a spark.Hope i'm not being stupid! I have a hw90k+standard silencer and use H&N FTT .22 Your thoughts would be appreciated Regards Harry Quote Link to post

htlk2000 1 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is dieseling temporary?, does the barrel just need a good clean out or is there a bit more to it? I've just returned from a 13 year break of shooting air rifles,well anything really.So I'm very yellow! Quote Link to post
T78 4 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 depends how bad it is,it should clear itself up but might take a while if a lot of oil or grease is in there.in that time it might cause damage. Quote Link to post
