I think this is way above my pay grade AND my pointed little head. Minute-of-squirrel head is my quest.

A couple things I can think of. Are you sure your chrony is working right, checked it against other guns? Are you using same pellets previous owner recommends? I think the R3 has a maximum fill of 250 bar, have you tried that AND the 200 bar previous owner mentioned? Can't think of much else...

So you mean the MASS of projectiles not being concentric, not necessarily SHAPE? "Out-of-round" connotes shape but unevenly distributed MASS is another thing.

A one way check valve on the tank fill adapter removes the need for closing the tank valve while purging. You won't lose any air already in tank.

Purging moisture DOES NOT lead to back pressure.

Imho if a good barrel is concentric, that's how the projectile should be leaving the barrel. Yes/no? My guns all have OST (Original Smooth Twist) barrels in which only the last 4ish inches are rifled. In essence, they "shape" the pellets as they leave the barrel. All 3 are VERY accurate.

Please disregard, mistake

"So now I have a tank that’s filled to probably around 4400psi" I'm ASSUMING you mean BOTTLE (or air tube). A TANK is a SCUBA or SCBA. BOTTLE is what's on your gun. Nomenclature can have an effect on the answers one gets :)

Not likely since there's usually a check valve involved in a gun's air reservoir.

No stranger than a new car losing 15% of its worth the second it's driven off the lot. I guess it's what the market will bear. If ANYONE is willing to pay the price others will try selling for the same or more. BTW, I'll still sell my FX Boss for $4,000! 🤪 :p

Nope! The only thing I might add is that even though your compressor is rated to 4500psi I'd not push it past 4200-4300psi. It's the last few hundred lbs that puts the most strain on the compressor.

Go to YouTube & search Edgun R3. There are MANY instructional videos that give step-by-step directions how to do things! Can't get much easier than that.

Have you no interest in learning how to do it yourself? It's usually a fairly easy & straight forward process & you'll probably learn other things while doing it that will benefit you later on.

"It's interesting how a tune on the same exact rifle in someone else's hands can produce drastically different results" Airgun VOODOO! I used to get frustrated with the idiosyncrasies of our equipment but now it fascinates me. It's NOT like dealing with the simplicity of powder burners but...

California.🤪
