Hello all!
This is my first post. I bought a 1322 from Amazon. I installed a baker aluminum breech and a red dot sight. Accuracy seemed acceptable right off the bat and from the bench I proceeded to shoot off hand over the last month. I used it to dispatch a couple juvenile groundhogs in a live trap and shot a couple rabbits and a squirrel out of my garden and I've done quite a bit of plinking. All seemed well. A few days ago I installed a 1399 stock and added a pool noodle cheek rest which still doesn't get my eye up to the ideal height, but it's okay. Yesterday, I was plinking around and noticed that I was missing a medium size soup can at about 12 to 15 yd. This seemed weird because with the new stock my stability was very much improved. So I got out some paper and started shooting from a bench. It's all over the place. Don't know if accuracy was slowly diminishing and I just didn't notice it shooting off hand as a pistol or what. It's shooting like 4 in groups at 15 yards. I tried crosman domed, pointed and some Gamo hunting pellets all had the same results. I cleaned the barrel and it took forever until the patches were fairly clean. That did nothing. I took the Red Dot off and shot open sights but that did not help matters. I took the metal breech and barrel off so I could inspect things. I noticed that the bore seems off-center in the barrel at the muzzle. Also, the crown seems weird. There is a bevel on one side, but almost none on the opposite side. Hopefully my picture attaches. I'm not sure how things could have changed from when I started shooting it. I've probably got 300 pellets through it, maybe more. What do you guys think of the muzzle area in the picture? Could this be causing my troubles? It's pretty frustrating because I know this can be an accurate pistol from everything I've read and I don't want to shoot at animals if it's behaving like this. At four or five pumps, I had good lighting to watch the pellet travel against the white of my paper Target. Some of the pellets seem to just veer off one way or the other. Looking for advice. Thanks!

it is what jt is. I’ve had a bunch and use them within their capabilities and not expect much. Push the pellet passed the breech screw hole so the pellet won’t get damaged. Clean the barrel good make sure all the screws are still tight
