I haven't shot my AAFTA rig in a while so I put some shots down range today to validate it's ready for tomorrow. It's been shooting the 10.34g pellets for the last 2 years at 910fps with great reliability. Today it was WAY OFF!
I figured it was overdue for a rebuild. I bought the FX crown used and aside from re ringing the regulator, I haven't done anything but turn dials to keep it in tune.

I tore it down and fully resealed it today. Took my first shot and got low 800fps!

After checking the basics I though I should try another tin of pellets and bam....almost 1000fps! The cause was a defective tin of JSB pellets. The 10.34g pellets were over 13g!

I cracked open a fresh tin of 10.34s and re tuned for 910fps and it's almost right where it was before I disassembled everything, including removing the scope.

At least I know it's fresh and ready to go for the season now!
