Great. You hear that STO?
Thats what the lands look like on the factory Skout barrels.
Post that photo of the radial transfer port. Most will think it's a new concept, but it is a great way to engineer a high flow port from breech to barrel. For benchrest, I'd go as slow as possible as long as accuracy is equivalent to "fast". But if 940 is most accurate, then it is what it is.
To me it looks like the barrel needs a good brass brushing with some Ballistol or Gunzilla. Then a good cleaning with some tight patches. I don't think I'd polish it at this time...

Derrick I am not saying that All of the gun construction and components are of poor quality...
What I am saying is for the retail price point of this gun they certainly should Not put Any cheap parts on it..
You don't see "50 cent" gauges on a German. Czech, or Any European gun at, or below, the price of the RP...
Paying Mercedes Benz prices, you expect a certain standard Throughout

Cheap gauges are actually used on lot of European & Czech guns now, unfortunately. It’s a problem for sure. Daystate, BRK, Taipan, AGT and many others.

Wow very disappointing. Hopefully they get you fixed up really quickly. If more like this happen I'm sure there'll be an upgrade to cases real quick.

Sent it back today. Will be getting a new one I think that block is junk it pulled the bolts right out no threads left in there to put them back in

This RP is such a heavy PCP! If it’s not handled properly and with care, especially in a crap case, something will break! It creates a lot of momentum getting tossed around
Either the gun, case or whatever it hits is gonna break!!

Derrick,
As far as I know about the old stock BSA PCP barrels, those are not polygonal. Those have round edges on only one side of lands and have 12 grooves. Shallow grooves and gradually choked during the hammer forging process.
The pic you have shared is very much like LW Polygonal barrel.
Just my thoughts. Please don't mind.

When I received a pellet gun from Talon Tunes , Tony had put, FRAGILE, stickers on the box . I thought that was a good idea .
That sucks about your new Panda . Hope it was insured. One guy has a bad day and takes it out on your new toy . Happens too often.
