Title: Mfr Overhaul
Post by: rgc_swanseaARC on January 17, 2021, 04:40:42 PM
Thanks to the assistance and advice of some friendly folk on here I've nursed this mfr back to life for a friend of mine.

Multiple faults including all seals flat sided, bottle valve dead, barrel that had been drilled out to remove stuck pellets but after some love it did this over my chrono this afternoon.

Thank you for your help and for the barrel.
I'm hoping he can get some tidy groups with it.

I just hope it behaves itself now and my friend can achieve some good groups.
Everything mechanically says its fine now but airguns are temperamental buggers!

Well he has collected it off me this am.
Ive given him one of my silencers and a barrel adapter, a selection of .22 pellets and a non leaking rapid so im crossing fingers he can get a decent grouping out of it.
