anim al Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 old shop will probably just say it was not that way when you bought it, power has gone up since then. you could try,,but where will it get you. unfortunately theres very few people willing to admit to mistakes and even less willing to rectify those mistakes,, saying that,, there are still some very genuine people about,, i hope i'm one,, and really love it when i meet others but yes ,,tell the shop,,they might give better checks the next time they sell a gun cheers al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 It really depends on what pellets are used to chrono any air rifle as different weights of pellet will produce different chrono results Just a thought Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud9 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 i rang the shop i bought it from all i got asked is have i added a new spring, which i havnt and would'nt know how to and didnt see the need as it was a new gun But saying they are going to test the guns they have in (which isnt many) but also told me that i should test my air guns often by myself im responsible <<may be spelt wrong, but i know this is true to a point but a new gun from the shop which is ment to be 11.fbl should be but atleast they know now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adymorris Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 but also told me that i should test my air guns often by myself im responsible which is what you did and it came back as FAC. They sold you an FAC rated gun without a licence so i would point that fact out to them and mention speaking with the local FEO in the same sentence - if that doesn't focus their thoughts ring the FEO for a chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
