I love big boxes Kev  I always watch them struggle getting them past the gate 

[Squinty]

Isn't it just  
Guess it's harder to lose than a narrow tube

[KCE]

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, 

[KCE]

lol.
He defo would not have guessed it was his barrel.
Regards Kev.

[Squinty]

Could only imagine the size of the box if I ordered a whole gun

[KCE]

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.

[KCE]

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
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

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 
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.
