I love big boxes Kev :) I always watch them struggle getting them past the gate ;D
Isn't it just :)
Guess it's harder to lose than a narrow tube
When I saw the first pic of box I thought new flat screen tv.
Then I scrolled down and seen your barrel.
Yes I agree much harder to loose than a tube.
Regards Kev.
I can bet when you seen that box coming to your house you was like this,

lol.
He defo would not have guessed it was his barrel.
Regards Kev.
Could only imagine the size of the box if I ordered a whole gun
Yes we can imagine.
Regards Kev.
The bluing on that barrel looks outstanding by the way Squinty, Be nice to see a picture when its fitted to the gun.
:)
Is it for a project squinty.
Regards Kev.
hmmm.....ongoing.
Not been entirely happy with my unchoked LW, its deadly accurate 75yds+ with 16s and 18s.
Can't complain about bang-on headshots and grouping under a 5p at that range but also really fussy in regards to the few pellets it will give outstanding performance with.
Part what level of accuracy I expect ...part barrel which is really good ...mostly issues with JSB/AADF dies and headsize.
I've easily spent enough money chasing 'good' Exacts in the last three years to buy another couple.
Got a few thousand in the drawer but then I will be chasing another die.
The .177 HW100 barrel is proving to be pretty accurate so I thought why not give the .22 a go...it's the equivalent of another ten tins of mediocre pellets.
Blued, screwcut- already given the bore a good clean and quick polish;D ;D
Now it just needs a trim, shave at the breech end and porting.
Rodded a few different types of pellets and it looks like I could be using up my stock of Logun Penetrators and blasting Premiers at 1000fps+ again :)

They are well finished, this one is better than the HW I have on my .177....not quite on par with one that was done by Colin Malloy
Kev will have to be extra careful 8)
Do you weigh em m8...I laughed at a FT buddy of mine who used to weigh his pellets..
.till he showed me the weight fluctuation over a tin of supposedly HQ pellets

I actually do another pointless thing; size ;D
Have found mixed or low head sizes often go hand in hand with underweight pellets.
I'll put a few on a lyman balance to confirm that a batch is crap but generally it's a slow route to insanity
Size - chrono consistency - accuracy tells all....well enough.
