I'll definitely do that, I don't shy away from research no matter how time consuming since it gives me great pleasure to increase my knowledge even if it's about something I don't end up using, you never know when random knowledge will find some use to you over the course of your life. And this...

Thanks for the suggestions Steve, I really do appreciate them, but I'm just gonna refund the rifle and save up for something of appreciable quality, I was already feeling iffy about the plastic all over the gun, blemishes in the finish, and the stock being basically as soft and ding-able as...

I was already thinking about the same. I've heard it's all metal and wood which is very attractive. I considered venturing to a pcp but I just don't like the idea of having to buy a compressor to lug around or spend 30 minutes huffing over a pump, springers just have a charm to them I guess...

Yeah I messaged Steve about the nut piece in the shroud and he sent me a pic of his that he had taken out and I guarantee that they changed that part to something pitiful because what I'm seeing from the two guns (returned one and the replacement) is that it's basically just a washer with a tiny...

Alright guys another update: Got the replacement from pyramyd today and already started snapping pics, nothing major but there is a minor blemish on the finish of the shroud and a few other spots on the receiver. So I started on getting the shroud off and immediately found something... peculiar...

Ha well I mean it came that way and no one else is complaining 😏 so no biggie.

Thanks Steve I figured as much, but it only hurts NOT to ask and confirm. And bear I definitely love tinkering so I'm sure I'll enjoy it profusely and will definitely look at getting some seals just as extras for the future, self reliance is something I enjoy already with my hobbies and I will...

Oh man they really make you do the work huh? But from what I hear with even the most expensive options is that it's unavoidable. What did you use to buff it out just some fine sandpaper? And I haven't worked on an air rifle before so I'll have to get my chops in on this replacement at some point...

So I just got a confirmation they're gonna send me a return sticker I'm just debating whether I wanna take another roll at seeing if I can get one that's good or just refund it. Probably just gonna get a replacement because I do like the gun and I still have around 550 pellets that I'd rather...

Oh man if I could have even got a grouping that was even worth recording like what you got there I probably wouldn't have opener her up and found these issues. But alas both me probably shooting bad and all the stuff I found was giving me shotgun patterns lol

Exactly what I assumed, I'll definitely get something like that for my gun kit for the future too as it seems a good method of checking rifling. Thanks.

That's probably a lot better of a method than eyeballing it I won't lie. I'll have to see if I have anything like a dental pick or are you referring to a wooden toothpick or something? I'm imagining those metal ones dentists use.

The end of the threading in the crown all looks pretty clean actually, maybe a bit of burring on the outside diameter of the barrel itself but that makes no contact with the pellet so I'm not too worried although I'll probably clean it up just because why wouldn't I? I'm sending off all my...

I'm very bad with taking pictures before taking things apart but I was very careful that nothing had fallen off. Even did a thorough check of my work area to be absolutely positive and see if I had missed it if something did fall but I've been working over hardwood with a light finish and found...

This is what I mean by the nut being locked with the gunk it's covering two of the holes in it even.

Mine is just flush to it unless you mean I should back it out a bit but that seems wacky to me. Popped it off to show you how mine looks it's definitely different hmmm

Front sight just kinda slides off when I pull on it so it's all willy nilly, no effort involved which is why assume they smacked it make it as to not wiggle but it appears the recoil worked it off because I noticed it's looseness when I went to unscrew the cap of the shroud and it definitely...

Just to show you what I mean, the gap from the block is me backing up the shroud until the sight is close to aligned, and the sight is to show what I mean by it being beaten in. Is it being locked with material in the thread a normal thing? I do see a port for such an application on the bottom...

So I'm checking out if it's a barrel or shroud problem, got the shroud off easily and the crown with the threading is... Interesting to say the least... Went ahead and ran 0000 steel wool to deburr it because it was tearing off threads of the torx type towels I'm using and they weren't coming...

Again, this is just a means to avoid voiding any possible warranty. I'm sure I'll end up having to at some point but I'll burn that bridge when I get there lol I'll just have to keep trying until I figure it out. My pride might be hurt but that's just life, it'll hurt worse if I let it get the...
